@sayanythingto @Dubious_Angel Ok fine - any woman obsessed with “being hot” is autistic. Happy now?
English
A woman being invested in being hot is definitionally not an autistic special interest:
'Persistent restricted, repetitive, and inflexible patterns of behaviour, interests, or activities that are clearly atypical or excessive for the individual’s age and sociocultural context.'
almond mommy@poutypierrot
I don't think most men understand that hot women literally don't have time to have many hobbies because maintaining hotness is extremely time consuming. there are so many autistic females whose special interest is being hot.
English
@DDTimor_Leste @Dubious_Angel a) i disagree and i think you’re misunderstanding my point about the inherent flaw in the definition b) where did this definition even come from i don’t see this requirement when i look up autistic special interest online anywhere
English
@sayanythingto @Dubious_Angel There is a reason - it doesn’t fit the criteria. In the same way a man being really into a sports team doesn’t fit *unless* they’re doing it in a way that’s “atypical for their age and/or cultural context”. An autistic special interest isn’t just “my favourite thing”.
English
@DDTimor_Leste @Dubious_Angel no im saying there is no reason to exclude some women’s special interests (likely what they were exposed to at a young age and latched on to) because they are typical of their social position. it should be about the degree of interest rather than the propriety of that interest.
English
@sayanythingto @Dubious_Angel So rather than accepting that someone does not fit into a diagnostic category for whatever reason, you think the category should just be modified and expanded until they do? Do you understand that categories by their nature must be exclusionary of some experiences?

“everybody fucking hates me” was ingrained in me at 8 years old so now to this day no matter how close someone is to me i will always wonder if they actually like being my friend

To call this “eugenics” is nonsense. People aren’t aborting Down syndrome fetuses for the future gene pool of humanity.
They’re doing it because they don’t want to have severely handicapped children. They’re doing the best thing for themselves and their families.

Gonna be honest. I know I’m biased since I have a genetic lung disease and I’m happy I was born. But I am so against in utero testing in general. Beyond finding out the sex of a baby; why are we testing them for diseases if we aren’t trying to practice eugenics? Theres an argument to be made that having knowledge of the condition can help save a baby quickly at birth, but how often is this what it’s being used for?

It's worth pointing out that Down syndrome is caused by de novo (meaning not inherited) mutations and that affected individuals very rarely reproduce, so the debate about aborting such fetuses doesn't have much to do with eugenics in the strict sense of the word.

u have to realize at some point that no amount of self awareness and intellectualization will ever fix u
English
@Midwest_expat @Pellegrinoadict do you think this is an indicator of how negatively you feel about real people living with down syndrome? and should that change your perspective here?
English
@Pellegrinoadict It’s more like 70%, but maybe you’re one of the ones that wasn’t aborted so you can’t look up the research
English
90% of the people with a trisomy 21 diagnosed pregnancy get an abortion, & about 40% of people are anti-abortion, so what that suggests to me is that a whole lot of the people taking the time to "oh I would never"
Are wrong

Nobody tells you exclusion wounds make you unintentionally callous toward others’ positive feelings about you since you’ve never learned to believe on an intuitive level that a person might actually be hurt by your absence or lack of affection. Example: ghosting like it’s nothing
