I'm honestly not understanding what you're trying to say here. But I guess that's okay. I at least can pick up the condescension and contempt.

Nah I'm championing it. I've spent decades in this system and worked with people who do the diagnosing. Your position of reverence for the process of diagnosis or the authority of those doing diagnosis is not well founded. People who are too poor to get diagnosed are still needing help regardless of wheather an academic has weighted in on the subject. Diagnosis is an opinion, to get insurance to pay for healthcare. That's all it is. I can recommend you some books on the subject if you actually care to learn more about the topic of how diagnosis actually works.

Diagnosis is being given a paper that makes dickbags believe your lived experience is legitimate.

You don't, and shouldn't, need a diagnosis to know you are neurodivergent.

 

What's a theory that you'd hate to be correct, but are convinced is likely?

aka: early tech adopters!

these folk are always the ones trying new things, especially anti-corporate things. They aren't keeping people away. this is just how the bleeding edge of new technology. The communities natural grow out over time as more people show up and start to outnumber them. But it's thanks to them that niche new stuff gets supported in the first place while it builds up it's audience (and reduces the friction to joining)

Hello all!

Margaery is my favorite character from the series. But I wanted to hear what people think about her!

To what degree is she authentic or aware of the larger Tyrell plans? What is George saying about femininity? And what role does her PR have in translating into actual power in the series?

Just like listening to people's thoughts on her character.
