This Is A Post That I Put On A Blog That Is The Start Of Something New For Me. I Don't Have Much On There

I felt that, Mr. Wheaton. I felt that in my own soul.

How do I stop rolling natural 1s on all my attacks?

Buddy, if I knew the answer to this question, my whole life would be different.

ABA is a policy that I definitely do not support. I have beaten myself up some days because I don’t feel “normal.” It still takes talking with my friends and family to realize that I am not supposed to be “normal.” I’m just supposed to be me. I am lucky to know several people who are willing to help me grow and develop my independence and skills rather than try to make me fit the mold.

Hello everyone,

I found an article from the Child Mind Institute that explains the controversies around ABA therapy. Here is a quick read of the article. The full article will be linked below:

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a therapy that helps kids with autism learn skills and lessen problematic behavior like hurting themselves. There are several different forms of ABA. All are based on the idea that reinforcing certain behaviors will lead kids to repeat those behaviors. Studies have shown that ABA is effective, but some parents and autistic self-advocates do not support its use.

One criticism of ABA is that the earliest version of it used punishments as well as rewards. Punishments are no longer used in ABA, but critics think it is still too hard on kids because it is so repetitive. Supporters argue that modern ABA is often much less repetitive and that practitioners are trained to make learning fun and interesting for the child.

Another criticism is that ABA is too focused on eliminating behaviors instead of building skills. Some practitioners agree that this can be a problem. They emphasize that therapy needs to focus on what kids should be doing, rather than what they shouldn’t be doing.

Finally, some autistic self-advocates say that ABA tries to make kids with autism fit neurotypical standards. They argue that autistic kids have different needs, so they shouldn’t be taught to look and act like neurotypical kids. Some of these advocates says that speech and language therapy is a more helpful way for autistic kids to build skills and independence.

As someone with a physics education, I can one hundred percent agree that this is the true beauty about the universe. There is so much wonderful in the world that we barely understand and may never know. And you know what? That's okay!

Today, I learned something cool. Both the website and the phone number on the new Super Mario Bros. Plumbing ad are real promotional stuff for the film. I even texted them and got the business card. This kind of marketing is pretty cool to me as it feels like you have entered the world of the story. The fact that they include references to the Super Mario Bros Super Show too doesn't hurt either (including the cartoon's Princess Toadstool voice actress).

I found this author while looking around on Tumblr. As someone who fairly recently has begun going through my own questioning phase and dealt with similar self-loathing issues, this resonated a lot with me. I highly recommend giving Mari Costa a read and a like.

old autobio from back in 2018. ive changed a lot, but this comic resonated with a lot of folks at the time

Normally, I don't reblog this stuff, but there is something important in this feed that I cannot believe that never clicked in my brain before. As someone on the Autism Spectrum, I am unfortunately familiar with the history of my disability and its connection to certain horrendous practices (just look up the name Asperger for example). The "certain exceptions" rule really does show the hypocrisy of the anti-abortion argument simply because of the fact that by their definition, life begins at conception. So, wouldn't a child born of SA be a life? And unfortunately, history has shown that this form of exclusion means that this exception rule may be allowed in other circumstances that are less "noble." It's why bodily autonomy is so important: let the person carrying the baby get the choice in the matter rather than a few people at the top who may change their minds at a moment's notice.

“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.

I went with the Minotaur Hug. Having hugged wookies and tree people at Disneyland, I know that a hug like that feels really good. And I always need that comfort.

fuck it I'm bringing back the poll meme from January
