What about the people suffering right now? In this very moment, while you say all that? Do you think they should rot and die alone with no support? Okay, got it. And let me know when the magical cures come. The people who are suffering with no job, loss of skills, and may need food or housing are waiting.
We need a fresh attempt to define the specific causes of the distress and disability experienced by many of the late-diagnosed cases so we can custom-make the support they need. For example, specific therapies could address sensory issues and could prevent burnout. There are ways to reduce the symptoms of anxiety disorder and depression. There are also ways to build resilience in the face of significant social stress. None of these approaches are likely to be appropriate for early-diagnosed cases, where different types of support are needed.
I’ll have more to say later. When I’m not rotting…as much.
I like knowing where people stand so I’m not offended by this truth.
Probably believes in CBT for everything too. So tragic yet expected.
I don’t disagree with everything she said in the article but this is asinine for people having problems right now. There’s a cure!!!!!!!1111!!!! If you don’t die first….
Re: autism (since this paragraph doesn’t mention the word anywhere). And searching for the paragraph brings up the whole article. Unless AI has ruined search that much. Wouldn’t know but you could put this paragraph in an LLM and it’ll give you the link. It should any way. Not checking.
