New research finds a link between unclean cooking fuels like natural gas, propane, and wood and developmental delays in children. Researchers looked at indoor air pollution exposure and early childhood development in a sample of more than 4,000 mother-child pairs in the United States. “Exposure to unclean cooking fuel and passive smoke during pregnancy and in early life are associated with developmental delays in children,” says Alexandra Grippo, first author of the study in the journal Environmental Research. “While cigarette smoke is known to be harmful during pregnancy, cooking fuel may not be viewed the same way,” says Grippo, who worked on the study while pursuing her master’s in epidemiology in the School of Public Health and Health Professions at the University at Buffalo.

About three months ago I started gravitating towards a state of regression out of the blue. No warning and it wasn’t a conscious decision. So I started searching the Internet to see if other people were having the same thing. Regressing without it being a paraphilia (fetish) or role playing thing. I’ve seen a lot of age regressors, littles, etc. But they all seem to have a “do not interact” stipulation. Some are completely reasonable as the things they list are disgusting and in some cases illegal. But they tend to list things like ABDL, ageplay. babyfur, etc., which are very similar to the “littles” or regressors. I’ve known people in those groups and they were, for the most part, wonderful people. I don’t know why there’s so much negativity and I especially don’t understand the concept of, “if you do this or that you are not worthy of interacting with me.” I can’t relate to that. Then again, with things like depression, anxiety, and other assorted disorders I find it difficult to relate with most people. But the whole “us against them” mentality makes me feel like sinking further into regression where I just want to stay in bed curled up in the fetal position with my Miku Hatsune dakimakura and try to forget about the outside world completely. Then again, I grew up with depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma so developmental delays made it impossible for me to relate to my peers or form normal relationships. I was always behind everyone else socially and emotionally. I don’t think that has ever changed despite being on medication now.

Sorry for the long post. At times I tend to babble (part of regression I believe) CONSTANTLY and irritate all the normies. I truly resent being treated badly just because people can’t or are unwilling to understand that it’s not intentional and completely harmless 😡

Anyway, the Mets are hosting the Dodgers at Citi Field in the NLCS tonight. GO METS 🥰

I have no idea how school for Fletcher next year will be a stress free experience for anyone involved.

I had started to make peace with having no choice but to go the mainstream route, then today I had to have 3 staff members (from the school, not kinder) help me carry a Fletch in full meltdown to the car all whilst he screamed “I don’t want her, I want my real mum”. We got him to the car where the staff asked me if he was adopted, when I said no they asked me who his real mum was then, I said that would be me.

Everyone just laughed at said situation, but I’m just lucky we were in such an environment and I didn’t get the police called on me for kidnapping.

When we got home we then had a 15 minute stand off for him to get out of the car.

Developmental Delay Treatment | Chaitanya Speech Therapy Chennai

Developmental Delay Treatment Developmental delay is a term used to describe when a child does not reach certain developmental milestones at the expected ages. These milestones can include walking, talking, playing, and socializing. While every child develops at their own pace, some delays may require professional assessment and intervention to ensure a child's development remains on track. Developmental delay, also known as developmental delay disorder, is when children fail to reach developmental milestones at the expected age. These milestones include physical, cognitive, social, and emotional developments. A variety of factors, such as genetic disorders, premature birth, and environmental factors, can cause it. Parents need to recognize the signs of developmental delay and seek treatment as early as possible. Signs of developmental delay can vary from child to child, but some common signs include delayed or limited speech, difficulty with motor skills and coordination, trouble with problem-solving and decision making, and difficulty in social interactions. Parents need to monitor their child's development and seek professional help if they notice any delays. Developmental delay is a common condition that can be effectively treated with early intervention and therapy. As a parent, it is crucial to monitor your child's development and seek professional help if you notice any delays. With the right treatment and support, children with developmental delays can reach their full potential and achieve their developmental milestones.

Empathy is a skill that is useful for building relationships but is ultimately not tied to morality or being a good selfless person. There are many people who are deeply 'empathetic' who love their families deeply care about their problems and feel the feelings of others- which causes them to act and they sometimes have the most fucked up moral codes and can be overly moralistic bastards who can't separate themselves from others problems because they judge everyone the way they judge themselves. Empathy is just the skill that allows you to see other people's perspectives which is useful in forming relationships and solving certain challenges but ultimately having the ability or not having it has no moral value. You don't have to feel what the other person is feeling genuinely. You don't even have to mechanically understand what they might be feeling based on whatever their situation is- you don't need empathy to be a good person- and a lack of empathy doesn't make you a serial killer/rapist. narcissists and people with personality disorders that affect empathy aren't going to murder everything in sight because they don't feel bad that your a burn victim and a lot of them will still be nice or supportive of you. But like don't hold them to a higher standard than you would someone who has empathy- they don't have to prove themselves to you inorder to be 'good'

Intelligence is the ability to problem solve which even with severe impairments can be improved and even if you struggle with having a low IQ you can still be functional/independent if you have coping mechanisms/proper support. It's not a measure of worth and doesn't matter that much in terms of your ability to be successful/competent in a lot of situations. Being 'low IQ/R37@rd3d/stupid' isn't a choice to be ignorant and should not be attached to a person's worth- the intellectually disabled aren't symbols of the anti intellectual movement they are it's biggest victims. They have romantic/sexual relationships get into drama fuck nasty and drink. They hold down jobs and learn things at school and go to college and do the exact same things as a 'normal' person- and no it's not easier for them because they get help from the gov't or school- accomodations and financial support are not unfair privileges or signs they are too stupid/incompetent to go to school or get hired for this job because they need a tool to do it. They get to go to school vote and hang out in the grocery store just like you- just because they struggle with it doesn't mean they should hide their existence and starve to death because they can't go out in public because it supposedly inconveniences you that much- non one should have to confirm to a social contract they never signed and could never maintain for the majority's comfort

Emotions are responses to stimulation- emotions like fear or anger are like pain- stop doing that it's bad for you. happiness is like pleasure- it tells you to keep doing the thing or that the thing is good. This can get mixed up because of illnesses like depression or addiction but it's not wrong to feel good in response to something you know is bad. It's just a blip in your brains functioning. You aren't a bad person for having the wrong emotional responses or having moments when your emotions get the better of you- it's part of being human. Our minds make shit weirder than it should be. It's just chemical responses- having an inappropriate response is okay so long as you don't act on evil shitty behavior because of it. And even then you can get better after those moments. You can learn to regulate your emotions. You might still feel the 'wrong' emotions but who the fuck cares outside of controlling ableist assholes

For the love of god stop moralizing/insulting a person's lack of skills/abilities/competencies I beg of you people- it's okay to not be good at things!

Its like claiming because a person can't do long division/drive they will clearly cause the end of the world and they are the source of society's ills because now people have to drive them places and they use calculators

I can walk and I can run because I have strong legs - that doesn't make me any better than a person who can't because of a physical weakness- they can still get around through other means and even if they can't it doesn't make them lazy or a failure

You can empathize/feel sad when your friend's uncle dies- that doesn't make you any better than the person who doesn't feel sorry for them- that person can still be a good friend without empathy-

You can solve complex math problems without accomodations because your smart- that doesn't make you better than a person who needs extra time or calculators

And if you try and argue that you are technically better because you don't need the help and that means you are clearly superior in terms of skill because your not deficient in some nebulous quality and how everyone has their place and should stick with it

or that people who can't feel empathy are secretly evil and just hiding it and if you have these issues and are acting like a good person still your just being manipulative because it's a mask guess what?

You're a fucking social darwinist. And someone who would absolutely support the thought police.

You feel the right emotions and have the right thoughts- but does that mean you act on those feelings and thoughts?

You're stronger than a guy who is physically weak due to a disorder

You are better at seeing than a guy who is blind

You are better than a guy on wheelchair at going up the stairs

Do you feel superior? Do you want to flex? Do us disabled people have to constantly go 'nonono no one with autism has incontinence or anxiety attacks or low iqs and we are all super friendly- we are good normal not even disabled autistic people' to be good enough?

Like the definition of disabled basically tells you we either can't do something or can do it but with a lot more difficulty and that it significantly impacts a part of our lives

The only good disabled person to some people is someone who isn't disabled at all.

Also at anytime you can become disabled. Not just physically but mentally or intellectually. It's not a sign of inherent superiority and your abilities can be taken away not because you failed but because that's how the world works

You could get a brain injury that impacts your ability to feel empathy

You could develop dementia or memory problems from a whole host of things

You can sometimes just wake up and have a mood disorder

Your at the top because of your skills not inherent 'good' qualities and those skills can be rendered useless or again get taken away because they don't make you superior- but you can also improve and get better- it's in flux- it's like working out a muscle you can improve these skills- maybe not get buff or strong but better and it's not tied to something you have or you don't

It's mainly about effort

You think other disabled people would understand this but a lot of them don't. Instead of preaching acceptance of people outside the mold people who are incapable of fitting inside it these people just go 'we actually fit the mold and better than you guys who made it we just chose not to because we are superior due to nebulous qualities that make us more logical and kind' and 'im just like a non disabled person and not impacted at all by my literal disability that wouldn't count as a disability if it didn't disadvantage me'

A lot of these people as kids heard things about their disabilities that were always said in an incredibly negative horrible way that impacted their self confidence and so they went 'well Im not like that- and I'm actually better than you guys cause I have all the good qualities you claimed I didn't because of my disability' they faced stigma.

They had these traits/symptoms applied to them regardless of whether they fit or not and then those traits got stigmatized and they were made to be these spoiled brat tyrants or future manchildren or abusers because of the way people act like these symptoms manifest. They made struggling with emotional regulation sound like you were an evil Karen or abusive partner in the making and that you cried over spilt milk and pointless things that you were the kid throwing a tantrum on the floor at McDonald's. They made the fact you didn't share the same interests as them into something terrible saying you were boring and would live a meaningless life

People act like if you have no empathy you're the next Hitler and you're going to eat babies with the kkk and sell kids into sex trafficking for profit because of you don't have empathy what's preventing you from being evil (a lot of people believe the baseline human is to be a selfish abusive prick who goes out of the way to be evil and that the only things preventing us from falling into those temptations are society and 'empathy')

People act like if you feel the wrong emotions or have the wrong thoughts you will act on them and become a pedophile (because of you think about doing something it's the same as doing it and your going to do it)

People act like we are going to blights on society and that our symptoms always manifest in ways that hurt others and that gave them the right to hurt us as children heck even as adults. Psyche abuse (which often gets brushed off due to stigma and creates insane power imbalances), infantalization (which no it is not fun to be treated like a kid all the time- it hurts people's self confidence and ability to care for themselves), neglect (because if you neglect a person with a developmental disability they will DEFINITELY start to mature and not just stagnate and suffer because they have to actively learn to take care of themselves with help from others- it won't kill the kid) etc it's uncomfortably common for disabled people to have trauma or atleast have faced adversity

So to protect their egos these people developed superiority complexes. Our symptoms arent fully neutral they impact us. But they aren't these negative or positive qualities like we try and make them out to be but when you've faced so much stigma so much ostracization so much 'if you can't sit with us then don't and know your place even if it means literal death and if you can sit with us if you try really hard (to the point it burns you out) your just lazy and need to change' you get angry. You got arrogant. You feel entitled or get indignant because you didn't deserve the shit you went through but it still hurts so bad. If that means dunking on others who are like (unintentionally because they still think these symptoms are evil/unsightly and often don't know other disabled people who do have these symptoms) then so be it. If it means dunking on people who are in the same group as those who hurt them so be it even if those individuals are innocent.

It's a toxic mentality but people can grow out of it. It's just also one of the hardest things to do.

"It's neurotypicals who lack empathy ACTUALLY'

stop. Lacking empathy is a common neurodivergent trait. It's common for people with personality disorders. We're not neurotypical. Empathy is a value neutral trait and says nothing about a person's character. You're not owning the NTs when you say that--you're just making other neurodivergent people feel unsafe around you and painting us as Bad People.

Hi all,

I don’t want to go on a long post about everything, but please see below link and read our story.

I am very touched and grateful for someone to reach out for us for help. I feel a mix of emotions from embarrassment to absolute joy.

I will add on to our story below that my son Jameson is now going to need a therapist (experienced in all aspects of developmental delay) to be in his classroom for 20-30 hours per week.

I appreciate any shares of this you can give. Everyone is in a tough place right now, so please don’t feel obligated to donate, but please read and share.

The Playground

Looking at this picture it looks like an average playground, right? A place where moms and dads take their little kids to play outside and learn to socialize. For most kids this is a place to squeal and run around with other kids that you don’t even know. Funny how kids can just jump right in where there is no judgment or shame or the tricky navigating that takes place as people begin to age and…

Intellectual disability means having below-average capacity for intellectual functioning than the general public. It also manifests in having challenges with adaptive behavior. 

[buggirl-lunesta]

Hey guys, I know we’re all recovering from the t3 video, but infantilizing Haruka and robbing him of his agency by repeatedly saying that he did nothing wrong and that he’s innocent because he has a developmental delay disability is not the inclusivity win that you think it is. Killing that little girl was wrong. Haruka knew that before he did it and he recognized it after as well. To argue otherwise would be an insult to his character. sometimes its better to just say “yeah he did all that but i love him anyway” instead of saying someone isn’t capable enough to be responsible for their actions
