I want all the money I put in to be refunded in nonsequential bills, and give it to me in one of those fancy metal briefcases please.

    Better hope he’s not warming us up for future plans.

    Aktion T4 was a campaign of mass murder by involuntary euthanasia which targeted people with disabilities in Nazi Germany.

    The killings took place from September 1939 until the end of World War II in Europe in 1945; from 275,000 to 300,000 people were killed in psychiatric hospitals…

      I’m having second thoughts about getting an official diagnosis 😅

      I’m cool just saying I suspect I’m autistic, probably not though. Lovely weather, right?(moves Legos to hidden basement room and encrypts Minecraft and Satisfactory saves)

        There are two main points to getting a diagnosis:

        1. Access to mental health services and acomodations, which will often require “proof”. Up to you to decide if you need that.
        2. Getting “closure” and self-understanding. Which is what most “high functioning” adults are really looking for with a late diagnosis. That does not require your psychiatrist to write anything down though. In your position I’d explicitly ask for that.

          Counter-point: RFK has access to your diagnosis.

          Caveat; an ASD diagnosis probably won’t matter if you already have a history of treatment in another mental illness.

          Take me, for instance; diagnosed ADHD at 16, refined diagnosis to ADHD-combined at 21. That was a decade ago, and I’ve been on stims and on/off other meds in the ensuing decade. If RFK gets his ‘detox’ camps I’m fucked either way, yet I’m still hesitant to pursue an on the record ASD diagnosis despite prompting by my doc.

          Thankfully my passport arrived yesterday. Maybe I’ll ask for the official diagnosis once I’ve sorted out tickets and a visa…

      He’s already talked about “work camps” for people who are “addicted” to things like SSRIs. He was mask-off Nazi before Musk was (if only by a few weeks.)

      He’s a disgrace to humanity.

        You overestimate how difficult it is to stand up to so many people so hell bent on you dying. Violence cannot be used as a deterrent on them, because they don’t the consider long term consequences to their crusade. If they did, they wouldn’t do it
