I’ve been amazed at the Tourette’s bs that has been circulating - I’m not on socials where I am sure it is even louder. Aren’t we all meant to be woke now?

Faux Victimhood screams louder than actual afflictions.I’ve been amazed at the Tourette’s bs that has been circulating - I’m not on socials where I am sure it is even louder. Aren’t we all meant to be woke now?
There would be no end to the crying of internalized racism and Uncle Tom allegations if Jordan or Lindo said anything that could be construed as trying to minimize it, which is why I'm sure their PR people have advised them not to. The whole thing is such a Streisand effect moment; so many gorillions more people got to hear the dreaded N-bomb get dropped now that it's become an international scandal. If they had just ignored it and moved on it would have blown over, and nobody would be victimized by the nigger word every time they open social media or a news app.I feel for people with actual Tourette’s. It must be so frustrating to see what looks like an incredibly difficult condition to manage be treated like a fun larp by teenagers who want attention. And then to be called out in the media for a completely normal Tourette’s tick. Poor guy.
And the two actors up on stage? Boo fucking hoo - must be so hard to be a rich, successful, well respected actor. If they had an ounce of decency they would put out a statement saying they appreciate people’s concern and while racism remains this was not a racist attack. It was a man with a medical condition and the media needs to stop with the shaming and move on to things that really matter.
Trying not to think about our inevitable death let alone romanticize itACTIVELY DYING!
So, what are the rest of us doing? Passively dying? Assertively dying? Timidly dying?
Used to be when the great musicians of the generation went off the rails we were sympathetic; "oh he was abused by his dad" "oh he tragically went deaf at 30 years old" "he would have been great forever had he not married Yoko Ono" but Ye apparently can't get this graceI'm not really. I've seen people claim that Kanye West's regular bipolar meltdowns and obvious mania are just what he really thinks, thus should be permanently cancelled and condemned. It's very obvious that these people know nothing about disability or severe mental illness, despite claiming to have ALL of them.

Ngl sometimes I wish I could ge tin on that kinda grift. I assume that was Vicky's aim too. Oh, to be late.Totally. John Lennon famously beat the shit out of his first wife, and beloved musician David Bowie almost certainly fucked an underaged girl, but in both cases their expressed views are “right” so those uncomfortable facts are ignored.
The whole approach to social justice and disability advocacy has been a disaster for the people who most need the help because the only tangible results were to create a small number of highly paid “disability advocacy” positions that lecture major companies and recommend things that will never happen.
I’ve sat in presentations where some blue hair getting a 50k paycheque for a three hour workshop has told a room full of execs that we should accept autism self diagnoses as legitimate and people with autism should be allowed to set their own job boundaries. So if someone with autism should set their own start and finish hours and be allowed to deviate from them and they should be free to leave meetings the find not helpful and we should also respect that they may go “non verbal.” The event ended with a short video that implied refusing to sleep with someone with Down’s syndrome was ableist. None of those recommendations were implemented of course.
Meanwhile, someone who has an unfortunate outburst related to Tourette’s is scorched in the media as if he was giving a keynote speech for the kkk. It’s not even that his beliefs were wrong, his verbal tic was problematic so he goes into the proverbial gas chamber of public scorn.
I don’t think politics have anything to do with it, just the era these things occurred. Jerry Lee Lewis was a fanatical right wing Christian, he married a 13 year old cousin, savagely beat his many wives and even murdered one! (never did a day in jail for it) Elvis was a staunch right wing guy and everybody was fine with him dating a 14 year old and marrying her when she turned 18 made it perfectly fine.Totally. John Lennon famously beat the shit out of his first wife, and beloved musician David Bowie almost certainly fucked an underaged girl, but in both cases their expressed views are “right” so those uncomfortable facts are ignored.
As a woman... I was going to say something else but what the fuck. That sounds like TESTOSTERONE POISONING or popping lipomas.Putting this

This post from the munchie thread absolutely needed to be brought over here.FWIW to answer some questions about FND; treatment basically includes completely ignoring the symptoms and returning to baseline functioning/as close as you can. Inpatient or day programs will involve, as mentioned, OT, PT, psychology/therapy and an underlying thread of them all is “planned ignoring” aka OT during their appointment is neutral or non responsive when they show FND symptoms during the appointment and then responsive/more interactive (and therefore reinforcing, psychologically) when they aren’t displaying symptoms. If someone passes out this means not trying to wake them up much or anything, just chilling until they wake up and resume session. If they’re flapping their hands around you just sort of ignore it as much as possible while working towards your session goal still (I.e. guiding them through an exercise machine use). If they work or are in school they have case management for continuing to attend with whatever basic accommodations may be needed, which is basically for the teachers to ignore the symptoms unless they are causing danger. Essentially removing all sources of secondary gain. Similar approaches are sometimes used for chronic pain. My knowledge is about programs for kids though, I don’t know if as many exist for adults. Using an assistive device such as a cane during these programs would not be allowed as it is reinforcing of the FND behaviors. Vicky markhoff (oft mentioned munchie with her own thread) has claimed that going to one of these programs was abusive and called APS on them while she was in one on her parents dime lmao. Also, if their symptoms aren’t so severe they would basically just benefit from regular cbt again focused on coping skills and functional improvement. Some folks, like the ones we see on here a lot, aren’t really going to benefit from any therapy approach though bc 1) they insist on finding a medical cause (even after ALL testing has exhausted these avenues, people will even go back to tests they’ve had done and want them repeated etc etc) 2) they don’t want to get better because they enjoy the attention more than they mind the loss of functioning. There is definitely a difference between FND and faking BUT attention as a reinforcer is major in the maintenance of both.
you wnet a different direction to me regarding putting into words the indescribable, I went here:“I love academics because I love the moment someone puts words to something indescribable”
And yet, bitch refuses to write any essays herself because she doesn’t understand why they are necessary for a humanities degree![]()
