Guess and check sounds crude but it's fairly effective on a range of issues. It's guess and don't check that causes a problem. Or guess and don't try anything else, etc.
Edit: I suppose you might be concerned someone never has the cptsd treated? I think that makes sense as a concern. However, I don't think treating the ADHD if the meds do that has to block investigating the cptsd. A lot of people can't do all that inquiry until more of their life is stabilized anyway. Cool if you can go straight to cptsd and that means you don't need ADHD meds...but nothing wrong if you go to ADHD meds, eventually discover trauma angle, and can back off the ADHD meds.
But wrt to lead, it would mostly be in brass components
It's very typical for there to be overlap between inevitability and environmental circumstances
Legs have to start, go up, go down, stop.
Wheels go brrrrr.
what seems more plausible to me would be ~<<poop helped something, something made life easier, autistic life is less obvious and disruptive to non-autistics when life is easier>>
Also, note that while your $500 scale may be necessary for absolute accuracy, splitting 10mg is not the same as finding exactly 10mg.
This is "bad, bored, tired" or anything else. "That" is the drug administration, experience, etc.
Much of addiction therapy is understanding that cycle and finding a different course of action between "my body feels this" and "doing other things instead of that drug"
I say this specifically because giving to others is undervalued for its internal benefits, and animals tend to be more accessible to direct love towards than humans with their complexities. But overall just giving is a way of transferring some of yourself into a more together context, and volunteering tends to be socially easier than like hanging at a bar or something...idk, just another autistic person who has/does struggle with depression in many contexts.
Volunteer at a cat shelter for e.g was only a tiny part of my burn out recovery process but it was still a really important catalyst and component. Maybe you can have some similar experiences too! Or maybe your own experiences are very different and it's not valuable for you, I'm sorry.
If you want I can ramble more about structural reasons for why this is a very good idea for autism+depression, but the point is really 'one extremely small and accessible suggestion' and so I don't want to overcomplicate it more.
Anyway if animals can't work for you, any other volunteering and/or metta/ loving-kindness meditation would be my second recommendations.
But it's really important for the volunteering bits that you are not maximizing efficiency. It is certainly 10X more impact if I was to work$ and donate that to the cat shelter. But in terms of the thematic healing goal, it is more important I spend time scooping poop for the cat gods at the shelter almost precisely because it's not a utility-value driven experience. Giving unto others, etc.
The hierarchy is certainly higher in agriculture societies it seems, but the complexity is up for some debate
Some birds have incredible metabolic rates --> take for example a humming bird.
However if I were to assume a canary has twice the human metabolic rate, it isn't a very good sensor. So, the canary dies half as soon? But the canary isn't even about poisonous gas. I believe it's about explosive methane gas, as their gas lanterns would need to be extinguished if the canary died, or else the gas leak that killed the canary could explode.
So, yeah, anyway. I think your information on this example is wrong, please feel free to correct me
I also would acknowledge the intent of offering neurotypical as an alternative might be kind.
However I also agree "normal" works quite well. It is especially distinguished by the quotes as "normal" and subjective, not normatively valued.
However this is not to diminish your report specifically, just that in terms of what I care about long-term it is the >2 weeks effects
My understanding japan has a surprisingly private train system, and China fits the model of "works when it's constantly expanding"
I would assume simple
There's one UK guy on YouTube that convinced me of the evils of water/iso sprays and the beauty of the proper silicone caulking tool.
The little wedge shaped caulking tools btw are not enough, as you need some stick to it so you can get around certain angles/items.
Basically you have to pay a lot more if the building value goes down
The American roofs mentioned are typically significantly inclined, made of a less rigid material (wood, asphalt shingles), and not built to the expectations of supporting as much.
When OP says 'the worst place' they mean it is not a structural place, it is hard to access, and it serves an important function that is best not to mess with.
Note, I do not fully agree with OP but I get the points made.
There was an outdated but relevant saying
'In America, you can criticize president Nixon anytime'
'Yes, but in Soviet Union you can also criticize Nixon anytime.'
The point is not that they're safer but that they're not a relevant concern in the same way. (According to OP)
The trouble with this book for me was that it often recommends deferring to the other persons sense of self over your own.
There are times this is right, and there are times where it is very shallow. In fact, it can even be very inauthentic & fail to develop your own internal tools.
I think if it helps you start something, great! But for me personally at the youthful age I read the book - it was negative. Today I'm sure I could read it and only take the positive. Mostly it depends on whether you think you "must" behave in those ways, or if you "could, sometimes, by choice"
Well, with such a low mean age it could also be very young people skewing the number, im fully speculating.
