The Bluebird, formally dubbed Compartment Car by its purchaser, the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), was an advanced design PCC subway and elevated railway car used on the New York City Subway system from 1939 to 1957. The articulated unit, 80 feet long, 10 feet wide and 12 feet high, consisted of three compartments placed on four trucks, connected by fully enclosed, hinged passageways. The Bluebird was an example of Art Deco industrial design, presenting a clean and mildly streamlined appearance. The Bluebird was designed during the Great Depression as a fast, physically attractive and comfortable mass transit vehicle that would attract passengers, while instituting significant economies in production, operation, and maintenance. The car's lightweight body and running gear, combined with its short truckbase and segmented body, permitted it to operate on the oldest elevated structures, with their light loading tolerance and sharp curves, as well as in tunnel sections, where policy prohibited the use of the wooden cars typically used on elevated lines. A single Bluebird unit, numbered 8000, was purchased by the BMT as a prototype for a planned fleet of equipment that could operate universally on both standard subway lines and older elevated lines. The BMT expected the Bluebird to preserve its investment in its elevated railway lines without expensive upgrading for heavier subway equipment, while attracting passengers with its interior comforts. Tests demonstrated that its greatly improved operating parameters could have cut significant time from existing elevated train schedules. Bluebirds were the first PCC rapid transit cars utilizing the advanced running gear originally created for new-design streetcars. In addition to quick acceleration and braking, use of PCC technology meant that Bluebirds could share a significant parts and maintenance base with the Brooklyn transit company's planned PCC trolley fleet, achieving economies of scale and efficiency. The Bluebirds were built by Clark Equipment Company of Battle Creek, Michigan, maker of PCC running gear. They were the only rapid transit cars ever built by Clark, and the only passenger rail equipment ever built by the company, other than one PCC streetcar.

Aralan posted:Everything I know about autists comes from watching movies and also observing posters in games autistic girls I believe that somehow we are missing the point that autism may be underdiagnosed in girls. Fact is, there may be more girls with autism than we may think. Autism has different symptoms for girls than boys. The article on autism should reflect that. Angela Maureen (talk) 00:54, 18 March 2015 (UTC) Per WP:MEDRS we only typically use high quality secondary sources. This is not that good of a source [7] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:20, 18 March 2015 (UTC) This is a complicated discussion. Will add something with a better source to the epidemiology section This says "Many studies document the higher prevalence of ASD in boys than in girls. One contributing factor may be an influence of gender on diagnosis. Some studies report more severe social and communication impairment in girls than in boys (Hartley and Sikora, 2009 ), but girls may be more encouraged and trained to behave socially by their environment, possibly leading to some mildly affected girls going unrecognized. Moreover, the gendered social environment is different between the sexes, which may lead to perception of the same social deficit being categorized as shy in girls and unresponsive in boys, contributing to the diagnostic bias towards males ( Goldman, 2013 ). Additionally, the tests used to diagnose an individual may be biased towards the male specific pathophenotype, and may not include the aspects necessary to diagnose a girl with a mild form of ASD. Moreover, because of the awareness of the sex bias in ASD incidence, ASD is interpreted as a male disorder ( Baron-Cohen, 2002 ), making it more likely for clinicians to diagnose boys with the disorder, as they are a risk group, than girls. " http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24705124 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:28, 18 March 2015 (UTC) What's wrong with this source? Was it primary reference? Tell me, please. Angela Maureen (talk) 02:16, 18 March 2015 (UTC) No evidence it is peer reviewed and published by a high impact journal. Not pubmed indexed.

Prodigious Savants all share the same characteristics: Lack of short term memory. The presence of organic brain disease, brain trauma, or inherited genetic abnormalities. Extraordinary, 100% recall of anything they have ever seen, heard, smelled, felt or touched in extreme detail. The ability to reproduce anything they have ever heard, especially music with lyrics. A near total inability to learn symbolic language. For instance, another language, higher math or science. They don't lack interest, but the capacity for rote memorization and already know the answers to the bigger questions in science intuitively. Lack of short term memory. The ability to identify, and, in most cases, fix, virtually any problem they encounter. Unusual empathy. Since savants see the world from a different perspective, they have extreme empathy towards all living things. The above section was written by Nathan Solo (Solomianski), prodigious savant HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Mar 27, 2015 |

this thing isn't autism at all. it's ridiculous idiots unwittingly obfuscating the fact that a single person can only be any good at so many things at once (damaged people perhaps even less so) and completely subscribing to current-day society's insane cultural expectation of everyone being good at everything, which isn't even remotely possible. remember that kids as blank slates are so simple that they've even been used as commodities in the past. the thing they're getting diagnosed with these days isn't autism, it's an absence of culture. culture is defined by physical need and external stimuli. take these away from the child and even the healthiest, least damaged kid appears as if they were completely soulless to the lovely, alarmist parents of today gently caress these fuckers. gently caress it all. ppiss piss pis pisssssssssss fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart fart
