| If “has autism” doesn’t mean “has a diagnosis of autism” what, exactly does it mean? Can anyone answer that? A communication disorder stemming from a malformed or deficient frontal lobe, usually characterized by clinically significant delay in language development and difficulty with non-verbal cue... |

| I have both ASD Level 2, and ADHD-Combined. I can only speak for myself but I know the testing for each was very comprehensive, with PhD level specialists. My ASD assessment was over 12 hours and included margin of error, standard deviations, etc. My test results were sent to a second diagnostic ce... |

| One wonders what kind of definition of “actually autistic” one might be using if “diagnosed as autistic” is not the definition. Word salad. You can “prove” anything if you get to make-up your own definitions of words. This is an increasingly popular pass time. I mean.... the "definition" ... |

| A Palestinian national symbol is like ...the flag of Germany. Symbol of a nation and not a creed. An emblem of HAMAS (if they have any) would be like "a swastika" because it would be the symbol of a particular pathological creed and faction of that country. Same with a US flag and a KKK h... |

| https://www.researchgate.net/publication/368351237_Epidemic_of_False_Diagnoses_of_Autism Dr. David Rowland (Ph.D), speculates that 70% of diagnosed autistics, may not actually be autistic. It's true that psychology is an imperfect science, and a lot of people may be misdiagnosed with this-or-that di... |

| There is no way that anything in this world can be as bad as the Swastika. The Swastika is a very horrible symbol. Incidentally, I've stopped wearing my magen david necklace in public because I don't wanna be mistaken for a Zionist or Israel-sympathizer, so.... Yeah, we're actually already halfway ... |

I'll never take Men's Rights Activists seriously as long as they continue to deny the struggles of transmasc people. and family court judges are biased to the mother is custody cases, even though there are probably exceptions.

| ADL has lost credibility long ago if it ever had any. Their position has always been that any criticism of Israel is antisemitic. They are essentially a hate group. Yupp. We shouldn't see it as "off-brand" or "out of left field" that their CEO would take this position; this has ... |

| anti-Israeli violence is not colonialism , it is anti-colonialism. Calling Palestinians the colonizers is pure DARVO. Came here to say basically this. Also, It's impossible to credibly deny that Hamas is an antisemitic organisation Well, apparently it's not that impossible, since Barchan just denie... |

| Haha, "neurotypical" nothin', your average Christian is a walking grab-bag of neuroses and insecurities, usually inflicted upon them by their Christian parents and/or pastor... So really if anything, I'd say Christianity is a religion for Munchausen-sufferers. I'm sure neurotypical Christi... |
