Personal insult is the last bastion of those who've already lost the argument.

@SeraphinaLee222 @Lindsey121985 @AnnaRMatson Even if I just accepted this claim as true, I don't understand what point you are making or how it relevant to the conversation. But lets check. @grok is the average life expectancy of a person with level 1 autism 38 as the above user claims?

@normal_brandon1 @Lindsey121985 @AnnaRMatson The average life expectancy of a level one autistic who is high IQ with no other learning disabilities or comorbidities is 38 and the leading cause of death is suicide. These are people that can communicate with others, and attempt to form relationships with peers.

@KirkWilcox Amazon workers are free to quit at any time. This isn't slavery. They can find other jobs, or start their own business. They choose to stay because they are paid fairly.

@ciphergoth @blis5ful I'm assuming caring about you would correlate pretty well with providing a service that actually benefits you (as opposed to providing a service that takes your money and does not benefit you).

Hmmm.. that's worth thinking about. My best reply is that it has to do with the verifiability of the outcome of the service, and how that plays into ensuring the service provider is providing what the customer wants. If I get a hair cut I can see it in the mirror instantly. I can show my friends and they can clearly see it's bad. I can refuse to pay with little social pushback. This will tend to weed out bad hair stylists from the industry very quickly. With a therapist it's not always clear they are providing bad therapy. I can't see the results of the therapy in a mirror or measure it with a tool. My friends might not be able to see it, or changes may be attributed to something else. Nothing about the industry weeds out bad therapists well such that what determines if a person keeps being a therapist is if they keep making money (which is not necessarily in line with if they are helping patients)

@sleepy_devo @nyaraVT After following you for a while, and more specifically for the last 48h, I'm genuinely impressed you can remain so in favor of trans people while tanking so much aggression and degradation from them. Perhaps your a bit of a masochist?

Bro is this 🤏 close to saying I lost “pronoun privileges” because I keep calling him out on his performative bullshit. You’re transphobic. You use transphobic language. You view trans people as second class citizens and think you deserve pats on the back for it.
Dev@sleepy_devo

you specifically should be locked in an asylum. not because you're trans, not because you have gender dysphoria, but because you have a profoundly retarded IQ score and cannot actually function as an adult.

When taking these I notice some behaviors I engage in (and I assume I'm not alone) that could potentially be captured from a technical standpoint, and used in the data analysis. But I assume they are not because it would be technically more difficult.. and maybe even questionably immoral. Like often I'll read the question, hover my cursor over one answer, then change my mind and click a different one. That amount of time hovering and which potential answer I hovered over could be relevant. I wonder if that is already being captured, or if anyone has thought about coding that out before?

@jj_ckr @normal_brandon1 @AnnaRMatson Genetics is an evolving science in all the ways. I tested positive for a gene they wouldn’t have known about 20 years ago. Who knows what they’ll find in 20 more years.

Maybe you are correct about the specific Dr who made the diagnosis, but I still maintain there is strong financial incentive in many different systems (including the medical industry as a whole) to both improperly diagnose kids as autistic AND run the genetic test, regardless of what the result ends up being.

@normal_brandon1 @AnnaRMatson Yes the labs typically get reimbursed for testing just like any other labs. Though many will not balance bill. There are also research genetic test opportunities where the labs will run tests for "free" from grants/etc.

@normal_brandon1 @AnnaRMatson There is certainly some concern for financial incentives in diagnosis, especially in educational diagnoses and private clinics. The doctor wouldnt get extra money to run a genetic test, and the results can sometimes matter.
