Lol, like I have ever had mental bandwidth. Childhood trauma represent!

Spot on with the “I’d really like to get the depression under control before I let you function at your job.”

Because fixing the unfixable is somehow more important than making sure I keep my job so I can like…eat. And live indoors. And afford the healthcare that is paying them.

I would welcome getting to turn down the volume of my sensory issues. It causes more distress than acceptance can fix.

I literally made this mistake 3 weeks ago. Worst oatmeal ever.

Huh, crazy. A remaster would be neat, I really enjoyed FF9.

Am neurodivergent AF. I’m the kind that needs ALL OF THE LIGHTS. Not cool tone (hiss) but neutral to warm toned lights. I need the overhead and any and all lamps at the same time- gotta be lit like a goddamn stadium up in this bitch.

We exist.

Am summer fae. Hard disagree. The worst part of summer is indoors where they abuse air conditioning to create a dry frigid wasteland.

And wildfire smoke which didn’t use to be a thing where I live.

My two nearest local papers are run by one company (I think) and their tech people are savvy as fuck. None of these paywall bypass sites work more than once, EVER. Archive doesn’t even work.

THANK YOU Chartreuse is the one I feel like should be a red.

What? In the myth of Narcissus he was not cursed. There was a prophecy but no curse. Echo was the one who was cursed. Narcissus was just so vain he fell in love with his own reflection because no one else could compare.

Ah yes, the booby hatch

Thanks! You’re the real MVP.

Technically I believe they call it a medical drama but it’s quite “soapy” one could say based on the repetition and quality of plot lines. I think you’re thinking of telenovelas for Spanish speaking countries. Soap operas are basically the same thing as telenovelas with some regional cultural variation.

Hm. I think we’d just have to specify our special and unique process only works with water-based paints and primers. Could get away with the hybrid paints though and I think there’s good enough hybrid primers to make it work.

This is partially correct. An actress with ASD joins in the last season.

They also have had ASD consultants (medical people, not people with ASD themselves) for their entire run and emphasize that ASD people are unique. They repeatedly reiterate that the main character is not representative of all people with ASD but they do have quite a few cringe-inducing scenes throughout most of the run.

It’s a soap opera, man. It’s not a great representation of anyone but I give them points for trying.

It’s an American remake of a K Drama featuring a medium to high needs savant person with ASD becoming a surgeon. The scene depicted above is a narrative mechanism the show uses as a way for the audience to see his thought process in a visually interesting way.

The show has plenty to dunk on but there’s nothing wrong with not having an actor stare into space for 20 seconds of dead air while the character thinks of a creative solution.

Edit: I should note a similar mechanism was used all the time in other medical shows like House

Fascinating. I wish I could read the paper (RIP sci hub) but the article and the abstract are quite thought provoking.
