Gripweed posted:That kid didn't have a behavior disorder, he was just terrible. I'm in the PYF spooky thread and autism came up. Some how, every single goon is autistic, or has an autistic brother, or has an autistic child Meanwhile, I think I've met a grand total of 3 autistic people in my entire life. Is everyone self diagnosing or what the gently caress is going on? Am I taking crazy pills here? Am I the autistic one???

SA goons aren't exactly a representative sample of the general population, and people who post in a specific thread in response to a specific post aren't a representative sample of goons in general.

ElGroucho posted:I'm in the PYF spooky thread and autism came up. Some how, every single goon is autistic, or has an autistic brother, or has an autistic child This is an interesting question. My son is genuinely autistic, albeit it is mild. We have been to the doctor numerous times and work with specialists to provide the support that he needs. On many occasions I will run into another parent and they will, usually after a bout of bad behaviour from their child, tell me their child is autistic. So, I ask them about the services they are utilizing, if their child has an IEP, if the school is meeting the goals and requirements of the IEP, and so on. At this point it usually becomes quite obvious that their child is not autistic and is just poorly behaved, and it seems like a simple thing to say to deflect any incoming criticism of their (lack of) parenting. If they lead with "My child is on the spectrum" I can almost always guarantee they are not, and it is some sort of self diagnosed escape mechanism. It does seem like something that is often claimed/self-diagnosed, but that is purely anecdotal. Certainly the definition and spectrum of disorder has expanded greatly and is recognized more readily in the last 20 years or so, so perhaps that is what is prompting the current amount of self diagnosing that goes on.

People think they can read the DSM, check some boxes, and make definitive diagnoses, whereas actual psychiatric dx procedures involve hours of one-on-one interaction between a therapist with hundreds or thousands of hours of clinical experience. And even they get it wrong a bunch.

I was eating at a restaurant this weekend with my family and was distracted by the family in front of us. I guess the wife had gotten up to go to the restroom and the goon (and I mean disgusting stereotype goon) father was left with their 4 year old. The kids starts just throwing poo poo in the mothers drink, random food, pepper flakes, napkins while the goondad is like "what you doing their sport? making soup, haha?" while half watching some youtube poo poo on his phone. The wife come back and goddamn, I felt so bad for her. She looked like she was about to cry. I wonder how often she thinks about the fact that she married a man-child and he is probably making their kid in to a junior version of himself. I bet that dude claims he is on the spectrum and his kid is on the spectrum, and will never ever go get a real diagnosis.

I still don't know what autism is really because I've seen fully functioning adults say they got it but then I watch a documentary about autistic children and their parents and they are not in any way functioning people at all. They scream and cry and damage everything and have outbursts and tantrums and generally appear to be ffffuucked unless their parents dedicated their tragic lives to caring for them No offense to any autisms itt "but Collapsing Farts, it's a speeeectruuuum" Yeah well that's what I don't get because it seems like bullshit taht on one end of the spectrum you have something unrecognizable from the other end. Then it just seems like two different diagnoses

It’s easier in many cases to say you have autism or some other mental illness to avoid dealing with the possibility that you are a lovely person or make bad decisions and therefore are not responsible for bad things in your life. In my case I say that I’m autastic because it sounds similar to fantastic

Then it just seems like two different diagnoses I guess it's less that it's a spectrum (which is also true) and more that it can present wildly differently among people who are 'comparable' on that spectrum, and the effects vary wildly based on stimulus and the autist's current mood and preparedness. What might provoke mild irritation with planning and preperation, may, the next day, provoke a huge reaction due to non-obvious differences; and may be completely ignored by the 'near worst-case-scenario' autist. Add to that that it's almost always co-morbid with a half dozen other issues that it's incredibly hard to conclusively point to a specific behaviour and say 'this is because of autism'.

Collapsing Farts posted:"but Collapsing Farts, it's a speeeectruuuum" The autism spectrum is more of a RADAR graph like this:  or this:  It's entirely possible to cross the "threshold" for autism in enough categories while being functionally normal in others. That's how I could go most of my life without being formally diagnosed until I met some actual bonafide experts, regularly get the "Oh my god you don't look autistic at all I would never have known!" reaction, yet still turbopost on SA for 15 years and be seriously impacted by being socially arrested. It's also why loads of people you wouldn't have thought of as autistic ten years ago (Anthony Hopkins, Dan Akryod, Daryl Hannah) are now being diagnosed and prompting jackasses to go "omg criteria is so loose now." It's astonishing how loving stupid most people are about this. mind the walrus has a new favorite as of 21:07 on Jun 10, 2019 |

To start "aspergers" hasn't been a thing in the US criteria since 2013, and most of us actually involved in the community are well aware of how difficult higher-needs autistics have it. Yeah, sorry if it came across as targeting you. I actually deleted a part where I noted that Asperger's isn't a thing anymore.
