Lmaoooooo 🤣🤣🤣💀

It's very important to give context on the diagnosis. Any psychiatric diagnosis is heavily tied to its historical context. Autism as a diagnosis was not the same in the 1970s with the first DSM as it was in 1994 with DSM-IV and we didn't talk about spectrum until 2013 with DSM-V. "Back in our day we called that an engineer" that's because some things that are listed as disordered were not a disorder back then.

But yes, I get your point that while some would be put in institutions, others wouldn't be seen as disordered. I should have given it some thought before my comment.

I think that some of my reluctance with OP is that not all autism in the past was the "quirky engineer" one, there were already people being severely abused for a condition that didn't even have a name yet.

Intelligent commentary on Communism is one thing, lunatic gibberish is of course going to be downvoted.

Of course he isn't, but he was a huge part at the start and the project as a whole still has Dorsey's ideas all over it.

What exactly a website related to Jack Dorsey has anything to do with Communism lol

I know this is just a meme but autistic people were probably less seen as eccentric, cute and quirky; more likely put in mental institutions where they were abused and in some cases killed. :/

This is less a psy-op thing than it is a product of Western society's history - and I don't mean it as in "capitalism is bad and everything I don't like is caused by it", but literally living in such individualist society makes people live or want to live in smaller groups as much as they can afford it. And it dates before capitalist rise, in my opinion.

However... I don't think living in smaller groups, like living alone or with a +1, is inherently a bad thing. As people said here, there may be multiple reasons one would like to departure from their parents' house, a lot of them are genuine and to have this option is a good thing. What I see as a bad thing is that each house is meant to be a world by its own and in some places and contexts we don't have any community bond. This phenomenon contributes to anomie in Durkheim's sense, in my opinion.

Well, I guess she did the same! Truly Christian people

It's okay, we like you, it's rich people we don't like

These may be two of the ugliest people I've ever seen. Imagine being this rich and this ugly

As a chemist, this is so beautiful and exciting. Also, good scientific journalism there

Um... No, thanks
