I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >> 441534522
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yup. I could. This has strong, Trumpian vibes of “if we don’t test for it, it doesn’t exist” 110
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Omg that is awful It’s not the diagnosis that is damaging… it’s the lack of support and the stigmatization and bullshit like this 200
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I wasn’t familiar with them, so I just googled, and the first page that came up made me go “oh”. Letterboard. 100
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Reading your feed is a bit like “what new horrors are there in uk autism and psychiatry research?” 121

lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Unrelatedly, if anyone has tips for dealing with mold and mildew, give a shout! 210
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Moving from Ziv to Ahuza (different neighborhoods of Haifa) today. It has all the luxury features you’d want in a 1960s apartment! Such as this “dishwasher”. It pumps water into an upper cabinet and… well, the mechanism isn’t clear what happens next. It drools water back into the sink? 250

lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I’m assuming it’s “this child’s ADHD is so high, he keeps running into traffic” versus “child being distracted in school”…? But I guess this policy is okay with kids failing, growing up with low self esteem, and spiraling as long as the pace of disaster is slow? 100
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I don’t know where I messed up but my foreign language conversation app is now trying to teach me workplace English. Is this an HR intervention? 030

lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Ugh ugh ugh. And then it becomes a balancing act of following the GP’s advice without seeming obviously FND-y to anyone looking at your medical record 😖 110
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Ohhh nooooo. I assume the lack of trust on reliability is even more so for autistic women…? 110
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Oooof. It does read like that. Is this the one who diagnosed you with fnd? 100

lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Initially, Atlanta residents used shallow wells and springs for their water. After the Civil War, they tapped into the South River… and polluted it 000
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The closest river to Atlanta is the Chattahoochee River, which now serves as Atlanta’s boundary to the north. It was the location of Native American settlements 101
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The functions that a river served, the railway served those functions. Railways brought goods to the area, and wealth. 100
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Atlanta was founded by railway engineers as the place most suited to connect rail from the north to rail going to Savannah. But it wasn’t near a major source of water, nor was it a natural, logical site for humans to settle 100

lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Our apartment window frames, front and center, an inactive water park. Twins keep insisting to go there. I haven’t seen a single soul go down that fifty foot water slide. Gotta be closed till next summer. Haven’t had the heart to explain it fully, just dropping hints 010
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 09/09/2026It’s like Alston Christmas here at the Technion. Dumpster is full of mattresses, and clothes are strewn about. We are just trying to toss our miniature trash bags to keep our Airbnb ant free 211
lauren @laurens.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Ugh ugh ugh. I was going to say it sounds like American HR speak 000
