Gotta love an organization telling me they don’t support telehealth assessment and when I ask why not they cite data from 1998. Idk if you heard but there have been a few changes to telehealth in the last 26 years 🙄

If you are new here, or you have missed me talking about this before, there is a thing in some United States where autistic folks are registered with the government. Are you in one of these states?

Dr. Amy, Psy.D. (dramypsyd@ohai.social)'s status on Wednesday, 11-Sep-2024 04:48:56 JST Dr. Amy, Psy.D. What Causes Autistic Burnout?
I have talked before about autistic burnout, how it manifests, and ways that people can cope with the symptoms. Well, this topic is on my mind again! (Don't worry, I am doing fine personally, but I am working on a continuing education course on supporting autistic adults experiencing autistic burnout.) I thought it would be useful to talk a bit about the causes of autistic burnout.

Also a fog advisory and severe thunder storm watch.
I miss when my weather warnings happened one at a time instead of all at once.

Anyone dunking on Gus Walz for his disabilities is a garbage person who can fuck off into the sun, and anyone defending him with "He's allowed to cry because he's disabled" can equally fuck off. He's allowed to cry, full stop. We all are.
I'll have more coherent thoughts on this when I calm down but it feels like infantilizing neurodivergent folks and I will not have that dammit.

I’d like to add: “An AI can never have its license to practice revoked, and therefore an AI should never be in charge of someone’s mental health treatment.”

The fake IRS scammers found my business number, so in case anyone needs to hear it: The IRS will not call you to tell you that you owe back taxes. The police will not call you and tell you that they have a warrant for your arrest. You cannot pay bail via gift cards over the phone.
Be safe out there 💜
