#asperger — Public Fediverse posts

Sowohl Elon Musk als auch Greta Thunberg haben sich öffentlich zu ihrer Asperger-Diagnose geäussert. Der Begriff Asperger-Syndrom selbst hat seine Wurzeln in der NS-Zeit. Ist es angebracht, ihn weiterhin zu verwenden? Darüber und über andere aktuelle Themen, etwa die Zunahme bestimmter Diagnosen wie ADHS habe ich mit der Philosophin Francesca Brencio gesprochen.

Masto per la #MentalHealth di mio figlio.

È un ragazzino adorabile, dodicenne, creativo e diagnosticato #Asperger / #Autismo ad alto funzionamento da quando aveva poco più di 9 anni.
Da qualche settimana alle sue stereotipie (sfarfallamento delle mani, sguardo sfuggente, difficoltà a stare fermo) si sono aggiunti dei tic vocali sempre più evidenti, emettendo dei brevi suoni acuti non solo in condizioni di stress.
Sembra un po’ quello che accade a chi ha #tourette .
Che gli sta succedendo?

Notre petit #autiste a compris le principe d'une #devinette
Plusieurs fois par jour: il pose donc des #questions mais sans avoir de réponses cohérentes. C'est à nous de trouver le gag dans la #réponse et c'est un #jeu très créatif et amusant.

Par exemple: qu'est-ce qui a 25 pattes ?

Des suggestions?

( I still don't get the right-angled triangle sides' worked solution in the appendix though.
I literally did a physics degree, somehow.
The step up to (x^2 - 1) > 2n or whatever is fine.
Right after that looks like (x^2 + 1) - (x^2 - 1) > 2 from nowhere.
Like wtf?
Did I just have a stroke.
Where the hell did that come from and go, fucker-eyed crow?)

...no sabe gestionar sus emociones, y explota cuando se le confronta. Totalmente incapaz para valerse por sí mismo, que se infla a antidepresivos porque sólo ve un futuro negro e inciertoen cuanto le sueltan un poco la mano. Siento MUCHO todo esto, pero NECESITABA desahogarme.

Wow - the above mentioned links and articles shed light on Grunya Sukhareva, the russian/ukrainian [?] child psychiatrist who first described today's autism level 1 as early as in 1925, and who also highlighted the differences in representation of autism in girls versus boys [that we only "know" recently/as of "today"...]!!

My issue is...I don't know what is going on. There must be some dynamic, some rule that is invisible to me. I literally don't understand it. There is no conflict with anybody and the conflict with the quality manager was fixed from both our sides. She did apologize for acting out and I for being so sensitive about it.

The incompetence of the group lead is known, the errors I'm supposed to have done are made up why the hell is this still my fault?

Why is it my fault not to be able to do emergency samples in time coz the group lead decided to do the calibration too late so I couldn't run my samples... The group lead decided to leave early and so I had to read into a process I then only could do slowly coz it's not routine for me yet 🤷

My issue is that I already know similar things from my past... And I just don't understand what the damn issue is, why this happens, why me, where is my fault?!

( #adhd #audhd, #Asperger , #autism , #research , #science , #lab , #Heidelberg , #neurodivergent )

I told her the reason and that the prof apparently doesn't believe me and that I'm not there scapegoat for their bad management.

She was confused coz there is no issue with thawing the CSF... It's the plasma that can't be thawed. She went to the supervisor and asked and now apparently it's not the CFS I thawed but I'm supposed to have thawed the plasma.
And the is no way in hell I did that and I have prove of that.
For the routine amino acid analysis I couldn't find 1 sample on the list, so I went and asked and was told this sample can't be thawed and is stored somewhere else, I was sent to a colleague who does this analysis and she explained to me then reasons, afterwards....I scratched the sample number and name off my sample list and wrote the name of the analysis behind it as explanation of why they sample isn't done I wrote "AADC".

I never touched that sample and it's still today on the work list coz it wasn't done yet. I went through the trash today and found my old sample list that proves it that I didn't touch it.

Still somehow in being made responsible by the prof for everything, I can't explain it beyond he feels attacked coz all this shows how lazy and incompetent he must be managing his lab 🤷

But that never was my intention, I'm only doing what they show me.
So this really really hurts me.

This week... The group lead who is constantly overwhelmed and has 0 work structure, of whom I was told from the beginning constantly tries to drop her work onto others, doesn't clean up after herself, bashes her subordinates and leaves the lab early without fulfilling her duties.... Told me she already has to write 4 error reports because of me... The first week I'm now in her group and I'm being "trained" by her.

The 4 error reports did hit me hard coz I know that's not the case.
I refused to accept that. The biggest issue was that I apparently thawed CSF on Monday that isn't allowed to be thawed until 1 Parameter is measured first.

Funny thing is... She did that on Monday with me, she printed the sample list, and went with me to the -80°C freezer and searched with me 4 missing CFS samples. I'm new there, I'm doing what I'm told. I didn't even know this was relevant and specially if my supervisor who trains me is doing something with me... How the duck is this my fault then if I'm doing what I'm told?!?
How should, how could I have known?!?

Funniest thing though... Today I told a colleague that I'm quitting when I found a new job, coz I'm not taking this crap off being made responsible for suddenly everything that went wrong even before I started work there.

( #adhd #audhd, #Asperger , #autism , #research , #science , #lab , #Heidelberg , #neurodivergent )

A bit more things... But that is the main stuff.
Yes, I'm making errors when the workload is too high or when I actually wasn't correctly trained / told like that full blood samples can't be frozen. It was a Parameter that normally comes already as plasma sample and that full blood came was the first time for me. So because it was late, not told to watch out for that and I was told to freeze any samples over night, I froze it.

I was trained by people who actually did things wrong and had been trained wrong themselves already.

What insanity is it that I'm supposed to suddenly do things fully correct or have read up on it if I don't know what it all is I need to pay attention to?

The funny thing is, they now started to fully restructure the workplace I'm at and changed the batch documentation, the storage, the #sop s , and they move the devices actually to a new room that is bigger and has more climate control power.

I do get along with everybody at work, I'm nice, I smile, I feel good and happy when them, I'm empathetic, helpful, humble and apologize if I made a mistake even if it's not my fault, I'd even spend over night there if that was required coz I'm really damn passionate about lab and #medicine etc.

But somehow... I'm still the ass...
The prof "hearing different things from others about me"...

They used perchloric acid at 60% and 10% without gloves, fumehood, any protection, vortexing samples with the acid inside without caps closed, without protection goggles 🤯

I took my thermal cam with me and found the room in working in is too hot and climate control can't keep up and that the thermometers are 1. directly below the cold air outlet, and the 2. Directly next to the entry door with the corridor that it in general 4°C cooler. So both don't represent the actual temperature correctly.

The fridge is stuffed too full and unable to cool correctly so the usable by dates on enzymes etc can't be guaranteed.

The way the batch documentation is done is very bad and leads to errors as the way and amount it needs to be done regularly interrupts your workflow which with a high workload leads to errors.
This happened already multiple times.

The way orderings are done leads to errors coz nobody is directly assigned to go through our stock and no time frame is reserved for it. This leads to 1 person be ordering an enzyme and nobody checking up on it, or multiple people ordering the same stuff in parallel. Also happened multiple times. One time the enzyme wasn't actually ordered and nobody knew until we ran out, the other time we got a year's supply of bile acid reagents coz 3 people ordered at the same time.

I printed it and gave it to her, telling her "I did my duty, I know it's not a manual handling issue and I have prove. But you can do with it what you want and keep it as handling error, add it to the error report, make a 2. One or throw it away."

We now like each other again. I proved it's not my fault but I gave her the freedom to accept that or persist without me being mad or fighting it. It felt like I found a good way do peace could be restored.

This conflict really helped me to understand a bit more about myself coz I had similar issues in the last where I felt utterly doomed by what seemed to me like people randomly giving be hell because of 🤷 I don't know, they just hate me? Or it's instinct they feel I'm different? Or they feel inferior to me? I have no explanation for it but I know know this is somehow related to by #asd ...I think... Coz I mean... It's nuts.

But sadly it doesn't end here, I really hoped it would have.

You see, I started this new job in September last year and the QM told me I'm to tell her everything that I see with my fresh eyes that goes wrong in the lab or in general comes to my attention. Coz they want the lab areas in working in #accreditted/ #validated by #RILIBÄK .

I told QM I'm a bit uncomfortable about it and don't want this to turn into a boomerang.

Well, I did my analysis.

( #adhd #audhd, #Asperger , #autism , #research , #science , #lab , #Heidelberg , #neurodivergent )

So I know I have #adhd and apparently must be on the #autism spectrum in some other way too coz two weeks ago I started to have a real crisis when at work a #Sarstedt Pipette Tipp Fell of a Eppendorf Pipette with a precious enzyme in it and the quality manager said it would have been a "manual" error. Meaning I don't know how to use a pipette. I know the issue for some time now and 4 other people confirmed that occasionally these tips fall off from some pipettes. The QM told be she asked them and they didn't confirm...My world collapsed coz when I can't trust my own eyes, my memory, my own hands and I don't realize it, it means at any time, anything I do could be wrong. I felt for a moment as if my whole model of reality is collapsing.

That moment I realized... Okay this is so ridiculous but I know this issue from many times before in my life, this must be part of the #asperger or whatever.

My solution then was to analyze the shit out of it.
The #research plus 20-200μL Pipettes from #eppendorf are spring dampened and the Sarstedt Tipps are a tiny bit too tight, so there is about 1mm space left in the tip when you mount them coz the spring isn't strong enough and so the plastic of the tip hits the pipette tip dropper and you can't insert the pipette cone into the tip any further. I took μm measurements, took pictures and wrote 3 pages explaining.

He described the syndrome too sort "useful" autistic people from the ones that would be gassed.

``Further controversy arose in the late 2010s over allegations that Asperger referred children to the Am Spiegelgrund children's clinic in Vienna during the Nazi period. The clinic was responsible for murdering hundreds of disabled children deemed to be "unworthy of life" as part of the Third Reich's child euthanasia programs (as part of the T4 Programme), although the extent of Asperger's knowledge of this fact and his intentions in referring patients to the clinic remain yet to be ascertained.``

Litterally go talk too the greater autistic community, we are split on this issue becouse most of us beleave he was a nazi that oppressed our people, but others dont want too change the word that was used for our disability when we grew up as its a become a part of our identity.

Yes. A large number of disabilitys are and were described only too oppress the members of those groups, have you ever heard of a lobotomy? How that was prescribed too practically anyone who acted even a tiny bit "unruly"? Its only in the modern day were describing a mental disability has become anything more then a attempt at oppression, but even today, they label you "crazy" and you immediately lose a lot of your human rights, some people are even afraid of getting diagnosed for this reason [but i am formally diagnosed fyi]

Special ed kids are a easy target for both classmates AND teachers too pick on. Not one teacher could handle me, they treated me more like a caged animal then a child, and this is the experience of many autistic people who have trouble fitting in.

There was a now removed article called "borderline-personality-disorder-bpd-a-fake-disease-they-made-up-to-punish-victims" about how people with bpd is as much of a diagnoses as it is a silencing. Your words stop mattering too normies when your "crazy", and im unable too hide it my super autistic over emotional personality when im online, so i have a LOT, LOT of first person experience being treated like im subhuman becouse of armchair psychologists guessing my disability correctly or viewing all of my behavior through the lense of "crazy"...

AUTISTS/ASPIES SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN NAMED AFTER HANS ASPERGER AND MINORITY GROUPS SHOULD NEVER BE NAMED AFTER SCIENTISTS OR DOCTORS EVER AGAIN UGH!!!!!!!!

Ive written multiple long essays about my struggles and how my disabilitys affect me long before i ever read about them online

Litterally go read up on your history of who a lot of these scientists are and what they did too innocent people, i shouldnt have too deal with ableists justifying the genocide of my people

When i was younger i would refer too the combination of my asperger and bpd traits as "being a mushroom" and went at length about how my special interests, social struggles, and abandonment issues all stem from a condition ill call agaricism, i dont need too show you all my years of independent research too know that nobody has the right too f###ing name MY disability after a nazi. I am a agaric. That is my disability. I have written at length about this, and i can even copy paste some of it if you really dont beleave me.

Ahem, here is the essay i wrote two years ago.

-

Being a fungus represents being "other", a third option, or non binary. Not only do fungi not have a gender binary but fungi fall out of the "animal plant" binary that was once thought too exist.

I resonate especially with the fly agaric, but not for aesthetic like many others do

Mushrooms are the first "not a plant not a animal" organism most people learn about so it serves as a window in too the fact that biology isnt so black and white

Mushrooms are often a vegan alternatives, that along with subverting the expectation of being fly poison strongly represents being vegan too me

Being mycorrhizal also just represents caring deeply about protecting nature, as well as wanting too connect everything

Being mycorrhizal represents how i can get really attached too those closest too me and want too give them everything

I resonate with being "the fungal web" since i was essentially raised by the internet

Being psychoactive represents being "awakened" and able too see things about the world that others cant [such as with veganism]

Being considered dangerous and toxic represents how it feels like everyone treats me, how i tend too be destructive [or rather self destructive] around somebody who doesnt know how too handle me

And being a fruiting body means im something thats meant too be eaten, meaning i have a deep desire too be essential too life and needed by others, sometimes leading too detriment becouse of my toxicity

-

It may not be the best written, but its there, for all too see. I coined my own disability, a disability i both suffer from, and spent time and effort researching. I dont care if you dont beleave in me. Nobody has a right too name SOMEBODY ELSES minority group, especially not something ridiculous like what is often mispronounced as "ass burgers"

Im also not saying that my word should have been the one used, i firmly beleave that the people who are struggling with the condition should be the ones its named after, like the amber alert, it shouldnt be named after some random abuser. Imagine if the amber alert was named after her kidnapper instead like wtf

Obviously a condition or a virus should be named after a victim. Thats the entire point. Just like black people were named by the slave owners. A similar thing happened too autistic people.

A lot of us got bullyed back in school for being named "aspergers", its a huge deal, but aside from that its litterally the history of my people and we should NOT be associated with a nazi every time we want too say our name.

The person who accually did the work was the people who were suffering from the condition. I did the work in naming my writing about my own condition that im accually suffering from. Its a huge deal when the voices of minority groups are completely ignored, its the same problem of native americans getting renamed and whitewashed by europeans.

People with aspergers have existed for thousands, perhaps millions of years, we are a minority group just as much as women, black, or gay, we should not be treated like mere property and named after the man who enslaved and murdered us.

Excuse my language, but imagine if jewish people were named after hitler.

People who have aspergers often say from a young age that they knew there was something different about them, even if they didnt know the words. We are a ancient culture that has existed for as long as people have.

Religious people coined there own names, trans people coined there own name, non binary people coined there own name, each and every country got too coin there own name.

Aspergers and other disabilitys should be no different. We are a minority. We arent something too be cured and wiped out. I should have a story i can share my children, about how we should be proud too be aspergers, but what does our discovery come from? Nazism. Who are we named after? Some guy that tortured us.

Do you see the problem here? I want too be proud too be who i am. I didnt choose too be born this way. I didnt choose too get bullyed in schools or called "ass burger" as a insult, but i was.

All im saying is at the very least the name of human minority groups should be named by the people themselves, not by white supremacists.

Like, i dont even care about the "ego boost" part, thats not whats important, if they had created there own invention and named it after themself then i wouldnt complain, but the fact is: not only is it actively degrading for people like me suffering from these conditions too be named after the person who abused us, but on top of that its just plain goddamn confusing. What happens when you have somebody whos real name is asperger or parkington and they introduce themself? Now the word belongs too a minority group, so not only is it actively degrading when the person its named after turns out too be a nazi, but its actively confusing and effectively removed a name from the name pool for no good reason. Dr parkington might be a good person, but even so, it doesnt fix the inherent problem that minority groups deserve a name that will make us proud of our legacy for hundreds of years too come, something that wont be ruined if bad stuff comes out about the person its named after.

Im a minority, and i want too be proud of my legacy. I was US too be remembered for US. I dont want too be a statistic, and i dont want too be a "finding". Is THAT so bad? Too want too be treated like a goddamn human being? Too be able too name OURSELF like just about EVERY OTHER MINORITY GROUP? Your genuinely part of the problem. The fact that you would call us a "finding" like that genuinely makes me sick. We are people. Treat us like it FFS.

The fact that they think the doctor who "discovered" us deserved too be remembered more then WE do is genuinely sickening, like, just get that nazi line of thinking out of your head and accually treat us like people rather then mere "findings" PLEASE.

I litterally DID write about my own condition, and i would have coined it too if i was born back then with the money too publish my findings. You really underestimate how HARD it was too get your research out toot he public back then, even if you were a great researcher, the rich get richer. Without being able too sell books and papers, your research went away no matter how much time and effort you put in.

Genuinely, i promise you there were others with aspergers just like me who wrote about there conditions as far back at 1800s, but there work was lost simply becouse they had no way too publish and share there findings. Printers were expensive too non existent back then, and most things were word of mouth. HE. DID. NOT. DISCOVER. US.

Ive puts hours and hours in too researching my disability and making up my own words for it before i discovered the terms. Just becouse i have god awful grammer and writing doesnt erase all of my my time effort and self discovery.

Yes, i have experienced both systematic and normal ableism. I have been treated like a caged animal and forced too do things i would prefer not too elaborate on wholly on the basis of my disability.

Autism/aspergers IS a race and i have friends that have the condition who agree. You can NOT erase us. We are *REAL*.

Aspergers isnt a slur, and many people still prefer too be called aspergers as its what they knew growing up, ive been referring it as aspergers in this comment chain so you understand who im talking about, but usually i call it autism. The community [yes, we are one, just as much as any other minority] can often be torn on the subject, with some of us preferring one term or the other. My gripe with it is both that we should never have been named after him in the first place, its not something our community should have too argue about at all, this never should have happened too begin with. Some of us who feel like the term aspergers reminds us of all our opression, and others who prefer the word becouse we already internalized it as our identity. A lot of us are proud aspies. This doesnt change that being named after him too begin with was a horrible tragedy.

The name pool was neather argument nor excuse, i was mentioning it becouse it points out the fundamental flaw, especially with common names [becouse these are almost always last names] it creates a inherent issue were you end up with people named after a minority group they arent a part of, or they end up named after some horrible disease.

END OF VERY LONG RANT THING IM SORRY OMG IT JUST MAKES ME SO UPSET!!!

Ich lese gerade "Robert Chapman "Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism"

Was soll ich sagen: Ich war schon immer ein kritischer Sozpäd was Diagnosen und Psychiatrie betrifft, aber die Geschichte der Psychiatrie, wie sie hier erzählt wird, geht über jedes ungute Gefühl hinaus.

Das Buch bietet nicht nur eine wirklich gut lesbare Geschichte des Kapitalismus, sondern illustriert in einem parallelen Erzählstrang, wie sich Vorstellungen der Gesundheit von "Harmonie in Körper und Umwelt" passend zu den Forderungen des Kapitalismus zu "Funktioniert vs. Kaputt" reduziert haben.

Sehr dankbar bin ich dem Autor übrigens dafür, die schon lange in meinem Kopf lebende Frage zu beantworten, warum psychiatrische Erkrankungen immer noch so geordnet sind, wie sie im Großen Ganzen seit den 1910ern geordnet sind - obwohl mensch meinen könnte, das neue Forschungsmethoden (z.B. bildgebende Verfahren) auch die Taxonomien der mentalen Gesundheit revolutionieren könnten (wie das z.B. in der Biologie in den letzten 100 Jahren mindestens 3x passiert ist, wo es z.B. seit den 1960ern die Gruppe der Fische nicht mehr gibt. In der Psychologie sind die Ergüsse von Kraeplin und Jaspers von 1903 bzw 1913 dagegen immer noch state of the art.)

@jmimkes1
Im ICD war #Asperger schon immer als Unterform des #Autismus- Spektrums eingeordnet. Lediglich die Bezeichnung wurde vor einigen Jahren in Autismus- Spektrum- Störung umbenannt... Ob das dem besseren Verständnis dient, mag bezweifelt werden.
@Asterix

Neurodiverse folks, would you disclose your neurodiversity in a job interview? What are your experiences with either approach?

I am autistic but still in the process of getting a final diagnosis (I have one from a psychologist but not from a specialist for autism yet.) In a few days I am going to send an application for an office position that sounded nice to me and where I had the chance to talk to their recruiter about on a job fair. I really hope this works out.

However, I am still struggling with the question if I should disclose my autism in a possible job interview. I am on that part of the spectrum that is/was classified as Asperger and can mask okay (from what I know), and imo it would be rather a help than a hinderence in doing the job from what I could tell. But it's also the main reason why I could only work part time and the job offer is likely going to be a full time thing.

So if I mention that part time would work better for me, they're going to ask why and need a good reason. After all it means hiring another person for the other half of the day. And I feel really uncomfortable with lying and being uncomfortable or evading the question is a thing recruiters might spot. That's part of *their* job. So now I don't know.

For context, I am in Germany and there is no legal requirement to disclose any disability unless it actively contradicts Doing The Thing. The company also says they welcome a diverse team and don't discriminate based on heritage, disabilities etc. but ofc that might just be talk. (Companies also have to pay a fine if they don't have a certain number of officially disabled people employed but many companies rather pay that than actually hiring anyone. And even with diagnosis there's still a lot of bureaucracy inbetween diagnosis and getting the paperwork for me to count as disabled employee on a legal level.)

So this question is not about legal obligations but at judging how a possibly neurotypical recruiter would react when hearing I am autistic. If they see it as a positive thing or at least don't mind or if they trash my application the minute I am out if their door...?
