Shows that those psych-whatever-ists knew drat about the (ancient) greek language, because ‘word’ would be ‘logos’ and ‘alexi’ is actually a greek surname of ancient decent, that would mean ‘defender’. The ancient greeks would never have named the condition that way! My impression is that various Freudians and Anti-Freudians converged on the term in the early-mid-20th century as a means to make themselves sound smarter than any of them really were.

Source: As someone named Alexander, I just finally felt vaguely offended enough by the term to start digging a little deeper:

And also, nothing about the condition as described by modern sources ever made any sense to me - which after reading the article I linked, wasn’t even a surprise to me anymore. Sorry, rant over.

TL,DR: It’s another piece of etymologic fallout from a historic shitslinging match between researchers and practitioners, but one that didn’t get resolved conclusively. Because brains …

Haha, in some parts of germany you can do that yourself. on foot. with a zipdisk.

Yep, that’s a mood.

seeing it capitalized in the post title didn’t help. 😆

Yeah… I had to read that 5 times before I brained it correctly.

Hi. Thanks for the welcoming.

I’ll be mostly hanging back, though. Only acting on reports and illegal content attacks. It’s an emergency lifeline that is good to have set up before an emergency happens.

Long story that played out over months… Went to the doctors with depressive episode. Got diagnosed burnout. But from what??? So… I dug into researching psychology. Turns out, I inherited the family 'tism and could trace anecdotal evidence back 4 generations. Nobody ever bothered to investigate before. Presented my findings to my therapist and her reaction after listening to it all was (paraphrasing) “You didn’t KNOW?”.

So, yeah… No ‘officially on paper’ official diagnosis yet. I don’t plan on getting one, because it turns out, the main cause of my problems isn’t Autism, it’s ADHD on top (that one got official a few months later), but now I am doing better with that under control and unlearning all the masking I did.

I don’t think I have strong preferences for any specific part.

Legendary feeling of Catharsis: Definitely worth it.

I just hope he got all the papers he needed before that and a new job in the bag, because doing this without either of these conditions fulfilled can haunt you later.

But I am pretty sure he did.

‘Information Submissive’ sounds perfect for me. It got just the right amount of hinting at kink. 😇

I am going to use that description from now on.

Now I am 100% convinced that we have met before, digitally.

Sorry for the harsh reception. I thought you were just some random troll invading ‘for the lulz’. (Your all-caps reaction to sharkfucker420 really enhanced that first impression)

How many people are in your swarm?

May I suggest that whatever drugs you are on are probably dosed too high and you should seriously consider taking less.

Except, this post is supposed to be from your sober self. Then you should take more.

Just one? /j /lh

Well, the 6th of May was probably okay in Germany. The news must have impacted on the 7th and I imagine that day was rather unpleasant for those within earshot of a certain bad-tempered dictator.

😆

yeaa… I’m guilty of that sometimes, but usually it’s because I prefer reacting to the literal interpretation with another pun over having to stress about giving a quick, serious and polite answer to the intended meaning - basically I am stalling for time to think about it.

Depending on what [topic] is, prepare yourself for a 30 minute rant that I have prepared several weeks in advance.
