How do you feel about model trains

a kid that loves trains is no longer a giveaway for autism. everyone seems to love that poo poo. kinda hoping dinosaurs makes a revival among kids though

The way to tell if your kid is autistic is if he actually builds stuff on Roblox instead of using it to roleplay

I just got a new job teaching at a preK for autistic little ones down near Coney island.

My phone keeps trying to auto correct autistic to caustic and that is exactly the kind of systemic bigotry we fight every day.

Does that still get used? As far as I know most of these organizations dropped some of their older names because it's kinda awkward for them to use the word as a medical term now:

in fairness, the organization refers to itself by its acronym (AHRC) for that very reason

Nah, that doesn't exactly turn me off though. The language used to describe people who are outta sync with social and intellectual norms usually gets coopted into insults so every generation or so you get the ivory tower pushing new soft words for the same basic poo poo.

AHRC was founded in the late '40s when "retarded" wasn't the insult that it is now. also i've heard vague accusations about them being bad but when i worked there, that wasn't in my jurisdiction

That's about the size of it on the language thing. People were saying retarded instead of moron or idiot, which were the previous medical terms and then we got mentally challenged and developmentally delayed and the 31 flavors of specifically diagnosable mental pathologies.

I haven't heard much of anything up or down about AHRC. I think about any school (that isn't a blood sucking anti-worker charter school) can be good given the people that work there genuinely give a poo poo.
