I just found
this article, which highlights the value – and lack thereof – in labelling, particularly for people on the autistic spectrum. It was a similar article, in 2004, that got me to quit the ASD suspection back then – mostly, cause I didn’t want to be thought of as having a “fashion disease”.
The thing [...]

Girl’s Family Sue over Injuries in Womb
Posted in End-of-Life, Premature Birth on February 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So, now foetuses have gained the human right to claim damages cause of injury. I think I could do a better lawsuit, having been born prematurely cause my mother’s gynaecologist was doing a nonsense experiment on low-dose aspirin in the prevention of premature labour, while she was not advised to take effective measures to prevent [...]
Brief Mental Health Update
Posted in Autism, Behavioral Difficulties, Personal, Psychiatry and Mental Healthcare on February 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Went to the mental health centre with my parents yesterday. Turned out the folk had gotten an ASD suspection herself, too, and that was why she wanted to see my parents. I could’ve known that she suspected one of those disorders with onset in childhood cause why else would she ask to see my parents, [...]
Preemie Surviving after 22 Weeks

A preemie born at 22 weeks survived. So what do I think?
This particular case – so sensational that it even made it to the Dutch media -, involves several issues relating to prematurity and the pro-life cause in general. Firstly, I see some pro-lifers, like Wesley J. Smith referring to this fact in relation to [...]
Thoughts on “Realism”, My Current Situation, and Self-Confidence

Now that my “real(istic)” situation seems to have been defined on Monday – well, mostly, cause they do want to wait for the mental health thing to be finished before having me leave -, I keep having images in my mind about what my situation was like when I first came here, how it evolved, [...]

We got a date picked for my leaving training home. Well, Arda got one. It’s going to be June 1. I’m too confused to write a clear entry on it. Renee informed me about the decision this morning, and pointed it as if it were cause of my behaviour. I namely freaked out quite majorly [...]

Wanted to do some meme, but couldn’t find any interesting Wednesday memes. So I decided for this one. Whaha! It’s cool, and of course, it’s true, huh?
The medical specialty for you is…. Psychiatry
Psychiatry is the best of all specialties. As a psychiatrist, people
may claim that you went into the field because you yourself are crazy. [...]
Had the Mental Health Discussion Today
Posted in Behavioral Difficulties, Personal, Psychiatry and Mental Healthcare on February 2, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Had the mental health appointment today, cause last week that psychiatrist the other folk wanted me to see was called out of office cause of an emergency. We only found out upon arrival cause they supposedly had no phone number in my file. How come they do have a file – and how many files [...]
