| In my opinion, most cis people probably don't "feel a gender". It's more when your gender and bio sex don't align that issues arise. That said, I also believe that non-binary is real and that being agender is real... it's a nuanced thing. To me, agender means that not only "not feelin... |

| Having read the full article now, I do believe good points were made. I personally don't have an issue with the way we define autism or the official labels used or the spectrum understanding, so no full agreement there, but I think it's a sensible piece overall. |

| What makes me autistic (among other things) is I cannot innately read nonverbal social cues. Something in my brain just doesn't exist that's meant to help me do that. Communication is only a small percentage verbal, so I'm blind to most of it. Wouldn't say I'm socially skilled at all. The fact that ... |

| You probably have looked up the symptoms of BPD? How many of those can recognise in your daily behaviour? When I read your post I noticed that you mainly struggle with feelings of (perceived) rejection. In order to 'qualify' for a BPD diagnosis you'll need to be a lot more dysregulated on a daily b... |

| I remember a Chinese woman who was curious about Christianity started reading the Bible. She was surprised that it didn't really contain any advice on how to live, but was rather a history of the Jewish people. ACKSHUALLY-- The history ends up being pretty significant and relevant when it comes to ... |

| Yeahhh... I may be very religious, but I'm not conservative. I feel like the whole "everything I don't like is woke" scare shows incredible ignorance and miseducation. (Edit: also, I'm in favor of "woke" tbh.) |

| I homeschooled, too. I “graduated” high school with just a basic arithmetic knowledge of math. I bought some books before taking placement tests for college, including Algebra 1 and 2 for Dummies. I ended up doing quite well and even ended up tutoring math in college. It was hard getting to that po... |

| I guess my thing is, as a religious person, if I believe God exists and I follow an organized religion around it, and I believe that following this religion is critically important... yeah, duh, I'm going to teach my kids to follow my religion. But I'm also going to equip them to study and learn and... |

| My impression was that their parents often just handed them a book for a guided self study and didn't study the books themselves in order to try to answer questions intelligently. I really think it's gonna depend on what you use to teach math, and how. I had major major issues with math, but I also... |

| I do think there's poor religious education versus good religious education. If I had my druthers, religious education insofar as the goal is to teach children how to practice a religion, would dive into academic study and the why's of why said religion teaches what it does. Or at least equip kids w... |
