Do we really need to exchange the furniture to match current trends? IKEA basically invented fast fashion for furniture, but we don't have to operate that way. Not to mention that is highly unsustainable.

I think you're mistaking two things. Being around neurotypicals and teaching him proper social skills and coping mechanism.

Normal kids can and will learn the latter from other kids, but it is way harder for autistics. He can learn social skills for sources that are made with autistic way of thinking in mind and that will be more humane (?) I think.

He will also need to learn a bit different set of skills than neurotypicals (like more emotional regulation etc), I don't remember exactly when I found it, but there is a theory or sth that autistic people develop differently AKA on a different timeline.

Being in regular kindergarden will likely result in bullying so please keep that in mind.

You can also look at how it influences you, like bad stress in making you unable to cope and can cause some mental health issues. At one point there can be just too much, in dog training that is called threshold and individuals have their own capacity. So 3 life events that you would handle no problem separately, could be way worse when they happen at once.

Yes, because men is treated as default so people assume there is no need to specify.

Not in polish history nor pop culture. Given that she insisted on using both it is kind of disrespectful to her.

You're obviously right, forgot that I have to check if my country existed in a given time.

This is kinda of sad, because wikipedia has her page titled as Marie Curie too. It is a bit ironic imo, because poles are very proud of her and yet at the time the country failed her, by not giving the possibility of attending university.

European here, is stating your ethnicity normal on uni applications? What is the reasoning behind that? To me it seems very odd as being female in IT I try to hide it when I can (having resume without photo etc) and I would be outraged if we had to state our ethnicity/religion/other on resume.

Stardew Valley is basically westernized Story of Seasons (ex Harvest Moon) and both of them are more grindy than AC

Aren't you shooting the messanger?

You're comparing black people to mules? Seriously? They contributed their work not to mention what people from US did to native americans.

I hear what's your saying, but should be that their right? Right to f!#(& up their lives, because they decided it that way.

Well I think fortunetelling was some primitive form of therapy. When I was in my teens I've got really into that stuff and it is actually written in tarot books, that the intent of the whole thing should be listening and helping people. There are few discourses in therapy and not all of them focus on facing past trauma, that doesn't mean they are bad because of that (CBT for example).

You have a point with giving untrained/unregulated advice, but when I think about it something seems odd. Like when you ask your friends, close ones, they aren't therapist, their advice isn't regulated and even they may have bad intentions. Talking to other people about your problems at all, no matter who they are seems helpful.

Sitting for extended period of time no matter how 'right' you do it is and will be bad.

Have you tried adding more carbohydrates to your diet?

Well from what I've experienced google diversity movement (I didn't work at google, just went for an event for minorities and am in their WIT community) is shallow AF, like they still don't give a damn about human beings, but would like to call themselves diverse, because it is nice thing to do. Rachel has excellent post about diversity branding: https://uxdesign.cc/how-diversity-branding-hurts-diversity-6...

It is not a mistake when you tell someone you're female and they're saying your not, at least where I come from :)

You assume that was an error, based on what?

But that's their choice. It was used as an insult in a pretty straight forward way (I was there you know?) and I didn't mean honest mistake of guessing wrongly based on name or nickname. I have experience being told that I can not be a woman because women don't play wow on fridays.. yea or because I'm a programmer. This even wasn't a one time incident.

Ben would you mind then being called she/her then if that is so silly? I'm a hetero woman and I've been called a male few times when gaming and this is not silly, people are rejecting your identity and I can't even imagine how bad this is for trans/NB people.

That is a known pattern for people in discriminated group that they want to behave like the majority and take it to the extreme. So female bosses in environment when females are underrepresented may behave like that. It goes hand in hand with internalized sexism (and she tries to prove that she is not like 'other girls/women'). This and more interesting patterns like that are described in What works for women at work.

Most of things taken to an extreme get toxic and there is such thing as toxic femininity. There is the divine feminine, but please do not forget that most of the deities or gods were actually male. To me what you're saying seems like a big over generalization.

Maybe it is just higher fat content? I mean fat got a lot of bad rep and people may not be consuming enough healthy fats.

This is different situation here. He is not doing therapy nor treatment for this guy just evaluating for the study.

https://www.drawdown.org/ It has research backing each solution and

Have you tried going to physical therapist? Mine has a theory that in most cases longer legs is just wrong adjustment of pelvis.

Please read a bit about autism in adults (especially mild forms) because you have no idea how it works.

Autistic are not necessarily introverts. Autism is more like social blindness than introversion. Considering the fact that human is highly social animal it makes life harder. Calling people with ASD introverts is like calling people with depression just sad.

IT is a good fit, just show her project euler or more math heavy branches of IT like machine learning. Oddballs like people on the spectrum are fine here.
