To be fair...there are actual data that supports what you wrote.Gawd - this just reminds me of the fact my B.A. is in Sociology; where they teach you that basically the major sources of oppression come from white, Christian, heterosexual, males. As a baby gay, I pretty much latched onto that - "it spoke to me." I believed myself to be a victim in a system stacked against me and I must do anything I could to push back.

Yeah, the data supporting the existence of systemic and interpersonal ableism, racism, heterosexism, sexism, cissexism, etc., is pretty clear. The data supporting 100% of people's ex's having a PD or autism having a base rate of 75%, not so much.
I didn’t say anything remotely radical in my post or anything about you (other than that I had a different experience), so I’m legit confused, but this conversation is going to ruin a good thread, so I’m going to drop it.
Needs more bad medical advice and recycled audio.
Now it feels like TikTok
Some days, doing what I do, it really feels like this is true. Definitely selection bias in my sample, but I can go months without seeing a kid who I don't give an ASD dx, and I'm pretty conservative in making the diangosis. Too many kiddos and not enough clinicians to go around.
I think you might be joking, but in my admittedly brief forays into TikTok, this was all it seemed to be (with the addition of people jumping up and landing wearing different clothes). Am I missing something? Am I that old guy who just doesn't get it? What is the end goal of using TikTok? Is "using" even the correct verb for what you do with TikTok? Why won't these darned kids get off my lawn?

One of my supervisors in autism assessment clinic recommended that we pay attention in environments with a lot of typically developing kids so we would continue to have a good baseline for what typically v. atypically developing looks like. Very rarely did a child get referred to our clinic without meeting the criteria for something (ASD, language disorder, ODD, PTSD, etc), and he pointed out that over time, it subtly shifts your baseline.
This can also happen if you work primarily with older adults who have some degree of cognitive impairment. Always helpful to try to review and reset those "within normal limits" internal heuristics.
Apparently, spreading the Gaylor Swift fandom! I was talking to one of my best friends the other day who doesn't follow Taylor Swift, much less Gaylor discourse, and she independently brought up some big drama that just happened in the fandom without me mentioning it, because she saw it on TikTok. I was a bit shocked!
This is a great point, and an important practice. Given the nature of my work and the lack of diagnostice services in the area, my referral sources are triaging to me the most obviously, significantly symptomatic kiddos. When these clients become the standard, there is a natural tendency to compare all clients against this norm. If i didn't take steps to counteract this (e.g., doing sample evals on kids with no developmental concerns a few times a year; making faces at toddler in grocery stores to see the typical reaction; etc.) I'd run the risk of not giving a diagnosis to kiddos at the milder end of the symptomatology spectrum. Fortunately, the ABA treatment-side of my business is staffed largely by 20-30 somethings who seem to give birth quite often, thus i have an eager supply of practice cases with parents who understand the importance of keeping knowledgeable about non-ASD early development.
Basically:
Instead of catching up on reports, I've spent the past half hour or so educating myself on the Gaylor and Karma "conspiracies." I blame you, @futureapppsy2 (though it is a fun diversion)!
Gaylorism is the truest rabbithole to fall down.
Do I have to pick a side?

Well, there are various options within Gaylorism—Kaylor, Swiftgron, Tilly, Toë, Biswift with and without Toe belief, pure Gaylor, etc. It’s a whole world!
There’s a reason I posted about an elderly dog here. That and we’re behavior specialists.
I’m far from religious but I love the bumper sticker that says “lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am.”

Ok- I've done some more "research", and I'm leaning towards Swiftgron. The tattoo removal seems like more than just a coincidence. I'm not buying the whole "collage is a composite of Swift/Kloss" argument. That said, I couldn't figure out umlauts when searching, so trying to investigate the Toe stuff just got me a bunch of pictures of Taylor Swift's feet, which I quickly closed so as not to be placed on any FBI watch lists or risk not passing my next CORI check.
