Ahh, yes - the studio that own Star Trek has turned against diversity, equity, and inclusivity. I foresee no repercussions from that at all. /s

Reminds me of UniversalMonk - the combative tone, the posting patterns. Not necessarily the same person but definitely following the same playbook.

I always liked the idea of a Venn diagram as a metaphor better. The central circle is you and then the autism traits are the circles overlapping with you (and sometimes each other!). How much your autism affects you is related to how much those circles overlap with you in the middle. Probably not perfect either, but I always liked it better than the oft-misunderstood "spectrum" metaphor.

Oh wow. UM really is just a malignancy that refuses to go away, isn't he? I'm all for allowing different opinions but if someone keeps peeing in the pool, sooner or later you stop letting him in.

I actually had that thought as well, and while they certainly might, I think they're aiming more for the people who add "reddit" to a Google search when looking for answers.

Every time I see a story like this, I'm always pretty sure it's an AI that was trained on Reddit content.

You don't have the right Cheers pic next to Kirstie Alley.

This seems very similar to articles I've seen for years saying "Maybe climate change wouldn't be so bad?" Which coincidentally will happen faster and likely be more extreme because of AI power consumption.

I was a tech reviewer back then and I remember them doing a demo at a show with a Humvee driving over it. Not even a banged up screen in the demonstration. Truly impressive. Gel "envelope" around the HDD, gaskets throughout for water protection, metal alloy body (back when everyone else was still using plastic).

Couple of years later and I got a smaller, slightly less ruggedized version to test as well and turned my 2 1/2 yr old loose on it and absolutely no issues. So toddler tested almost two decades ago!

In casual conversation IRL, if someone made this claim, I'd assume good faith. Or even in a reply to an existing discussion of Snopes. But OP decided to make a post without verifying their information and then went through and defended that take in the comments when people explained the actual facts to them. This wasn't done in good faith, it would appear.

This has the same energy as the folks running around doing a disinfo op on Wikipedia. None of this is true and either OP wildly misunderstood the situation or they're intentionally being deceitful.

Um…no… this is just gender-swapped RFK Jr (from her Wikipedia page):

A "both-and" approach (both prayer and medicine) to physical and mental health has been attributed to Williamson.[98] Williamson has said, "People who are prayed for get out of the emergency room faster," and "people who have been diagnosed with a life-challenging illness, who attend spiritual support groups, live, on average, twice as long after diagnosis".[11][99][100]

Williamson has stated her support for the necessity and value of vaccinations and antidepressants,[101][102] but has been criticized for her skepticism about the pharmaceutical industry's influence in setting guidelines for how they are administered, citing her belief that their profit motive could result in harm to patients.[103][104][105]

She has also criticized overprescription of antidepressants,[97][106] questioning whether antidepressants play a role in suicide, saying that the prescriptive definition between sadness and clinical depression is "artificial", and having called the process by which clinical depression is diagnosed "a scam".[107][102]
