One thing ...Ari that's a really important idea. One thing I've had people be really hostile to me over was that I suggested that if people are refusing (or have refused) psych drugs or "treatment" that it is not okay to force them on it just because they can't currently object in the way you want them to. Rejecting an idea beforehand or even pushing away a drug that's being handed to you seems like a pretty clear refusal to me, but according to a lot of people it doesn't count.<br /><br />That seems pretty basic to me, but if someone is sitting in one spot crying for multiple hours every day (or whatever "nonfunctional" thing) then people start getting mean if I say to still respect that person's choices.Panchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695297748121188470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-53197122801876472011-07-08T13:18:28.308-04:002011-07-08T13:18:28.308-04:00I wonder if the shaving requirements holds also fo...I wonder if the shaving requirements holds also for females and their legs, once they are old enough to "need" it? Since that is as much a cultural standard as a shaved face on a male.<br /><br />This is part of why I worked so hard to learn to type. It is unfair that I be subject to humiliating, painful, and senseless things just because my objections would be in the form of screaming instead of typed words.<br /><br />Any objection is an objection, it shouldn't require words to be acknowledged. Non-autistic people are SUPPOSED to be so highly-skilled in non-verbal communications, so why do they demand words before they will listen? It makes no sense to me.Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365712318809125395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466691337834051176.post-90156661384723824062011-07-04T13:37:01.874-04:002011-07-04T13:37:01.874-04:00Oh, I had that "They've got to be shaved&...Oh, I had that "They've got to be shaved" experience when I worked on a Summer camp for disabled people. It is so totally stupid to shave someone who doesn't want to get shaved. And of course, you can extrapolate this to everything that is not really a problem.Saia Sikirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781079192557627122noreply@blogger.com
