There is merit in that study, though. Yes, there are naturally shy people. Or cowards, if you prefer that term. And yet… see a large group of dindoos, avoid eye contact at your peril. Look ’em straight in the eye. You run, they jump. Like a dog on a rabbit. If you avoid eye contact reflexively, you are signaling fear.
“How you doin’, fellas?” with a firm nod and a kind smile.
In this state, they don’t know if I’m carrying or not. Avoiding eye contact has nothing to do with racism, and everything to do with people knowing what happened to Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, and a hideous B on W story in the news every single night, and being justifiably afraid of black people in groups.
Most of my co-workers are black. We look each other in the eye.
But do you know what? Most of the inevitable dindoos — who actually did do — we see every night or on Drudge in the morning? They don’t work, so I’m unlikely to ever encounter these specimens. My n’as call me “fam”.

Okay, now I am LOL. I just heard on FOX and FRIENDS that a deaf org. is wanting us to not clap, but do jazz hands. And, I thought at that time that these groups are going to start slamming into each other. I mean, is jazz hands discriminating against blind people who won’t know what is going on? And, now autism against a really stupid suggestion about eye contact. LOL I can’t wait for the rest of the conflicts to crop up.

Sooooooooo….as the article admits, the autistic ‘sometimes’ have difficulty maintaing eye contact how aggressive should one be in attempting to get/maintain/regain eye contact with someone who does not want to have eye contact?
Since the autism industry has been so aggressive in mining….errr…expanding the definition of sutism as widely and deeply as they can, what about those who find assertively trying to maintain eye contact aggressive?
When will they start getting on us for our lack of proper interpersonal relationship with those in a persistent vegetative state?

When autism first was discovered and made trendy about the time Rain Man came out, I discovered a statistic. Autism diagnoses exploded, and yet mental retardation diagnoses shrinked to absolutely none, at the same rate.
Hmm… We should brag, as a society! We cured mental retardation in a two decades! It doesn’t exist any more! It’s like TB, or malaria! We fought the battle and won!
But then. In a world… where pharmaceutical companies make vaccines to protect us and save us from debilitating, painful, and deadly disease… while making money, which is evil… unless you’re an entertainer or sports star… Autism rises.
But hey! We beat mental retardation! Now to tackle ADHD and Aspergers.

Somehow I am reminded of the insane phrase “Shaken Baby Syndrome”.
It’s not a “syndrome”, whatever that means. It’s a person wrongly shaking a baby because they don’t like the wailing and fussing, and causing the baby to die.
Now? It’s in the DSM.

‘Mental retardation’ industry got too complacent and the ‘autism spectrum disorder’ folks done snuk up and stole a bunch of stuff off their plate. Despite all the ‘awwwww’ warm puppy commercials it’s an industry where emotions are leveraged for cash, much of which never makes it past the accounts of the managers.
Czarina was a co-director of a state facility for the developmentally disabled for many years and, just after she retired, the state suddenly decided to dump every state-owned DD facility into the laps of private contractors. The contractors political ties to certain people in the state aside, it saved the state millions. The resident’s quality of care dropped and their status became more one of warehousing than treatment but what the hey, it saved the state $$$$$ and made the contractors $$$$$.
It’s all about $$$$$, my GGS’s school even tried to say that instead of his diagnosed ADHD thry were going to test him for ASD. We got ahead of that, had him tested by a private MD without a self-serving agenda, and took the test results back showing he was a normal 4th grader with ADHD, zactly what his original tests showed. I’m betting the object was to get as many kids as the can recast into a new group they can get extra Federal dollars to deal with. The regular lump pool of funds for ‘problem’ kids doesn’t go far enough so they have to be creative in generating new funds. That their efforts would mark kids forever as ‘mentally challenged’ and effect their treatment by the system from thereon out doesn’t matter…it’s for the greater good$.
Years ago, when I was still going to med insurance-related conferences, we’d hit the hospitality suites run by pharma…they had all the best stuff. We’d be drinking their name-brand booze late at night and listening to equally sotted drug reps telling us how the notion of ‘cures’ was passé, the namevof the game was now ‘longterm management’. There was nowhere near the money in curing someone as there was in managing that person’s condition for as long as possible. We have armies of folks managing the developmentally disabled, many to a ridiculous degree, and pharma developing an endless stream of ‘new and better’ drugs to do whatever. Now the ASD folks get to jump onto the cash train so the larger the entourage they bring along the larger bite of the pie they’ll hope for.

And on the eve of a potentially wet one. Local weatherguessers are caught twixt the need to blow smoke up the combined posteriors of the tourists at Jazz Fest regarding approaching storms and honestly telling locals to put floatation gear on their ducks. So far, or at least over the last three days, the estimates of rainfall have run from ‘jes a skosh’ to that duck thing I mentioned previously.
I do believe it was last Jazz Fest the skies opened up and they had to cancel it. Attendees stayed away in droves and the organizers had to issue rainchecks for this year. The Fest used to be a local thing before organizers smelled money, locals are used to being drunk and wet, but apparently the more civilized non-Southerers find being damp almost a sin. OK, the northerners don’t sweat sin, but it’s something like that.
I’ll let ya know if the critters start showing up on our patio asking for sanctuary. We are big on granting sanctuary to edibles.

Moons ago the Air Force used to take all of the crewmembers who didn’t have enough flight time to qualify for flight pay, load ’em all on a plane or two, manifest them as ‘crew’ and go burn holes in the sky until everyone got enough hours.
Also may be pilots getting mandated air time and doing ‘touch and go’ landings/takeoffs to get practice in controlled crashes (landings). Also some aircraft that have undergone maintenance need to be flown yo make sure it doesn’t hit the ground untol the pilot wants it to. I just love the sound.

No, I think this is the real deal. I love the sound too.. They are never early in the morning or late at night… Saw one come in for a landing close up… (fighter) It was bigger than I thought…

Could be. Not out of the question that a Reserve/Guard air group would be told to accomplish certain training to be ready for deployment at a moment’s notice.
We have Reserve/Guard fighter aircraft at a base south of the city that are responsible for realtime defense missions in a certain part of the Gulf. They practice on weekends and weekdays and obe of their flight paths is right across our NOLA house. They have altitude and speed noise abatement limitations but, every now and then…

Hey, nyet? Are you there?
What’s the scoop on the upcoming Seattle May Day events? Is it something to be concerned about? I know someone who is up there and planning to return Monday evening, and there’s been some talk of shutting down freeways, maybe airport?

Are you guys talking about the little red dot that appears in the bell on the upper tight hand corner of the page when someone responds to one of your posts? I’ve noticed that it is there for a brief second if a I go to a page that has the WP bar but then immediately disappears. I missed some responses.

I have noticed that, too.

I was wondering if it was due in part to my refusal to configure the WP settings completely. It’s just setup enough for me to comment here and next door.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen
