Can I ask someone who’s been to residential a question?

I’m being admitted to residential tommorow morning and I want to know more about the admission process, what’s it like? Is there a strip search? How closely do they check your bags?

With how the usa rolls with bodily autonomy this is pretty fucking terrifying like … what is to stop them in the future from requiring “gene therapy” for disability, or schooling, or jobs.

this is a wasted effort in the name of eugenics lets be honest.

The Schizoid Dilemma

The schizoid dilemma is that the schizoid can be neither too close nor too far in emotional distance from another person without experiencing conflict and anxiety.

The central conflict of the schizoid is between his immense longing for relationship and his deep fear and avoidance of relationships (PDM Task Force, 2006). As Akhtar (1987) notes, while the schizoid is outwardly withdrawn, aloof, having few close friends, impervious to others’ emotions, and afraid of intimacy, secretly he is exquisitely sensitive, deeply curious about others, hungry for love, envious of others’ spontaneity, and intensely needy of involvement with others. When in relationships, the schizoid maintains a pattern of oscillating towards and away from intimacy, alternatively desiring, and being excited at the chance for contact, and becoming claustrophobic, smothered, choked, imprisoned and terrified of being devoured or smothered by the other. The schizoid then must break free and recover independence (Guntrip, 1969). The oscillation in and out of relationships is the real world enactment of these conflicts around involvement. The schizoid’s legendary avoidance of relationships reflects his assessment that abandonment of others is a lesser evil than facing engulfment and loss of self, despite his longing for relationships (McWilliams, 2004; Seinfeld, 1991). 

So I made two memes to demonstrate the schizoid splitting. Just like borderlines who split between loved/hated and narcissists between admired/garbage, schizoids split too… Between feeling engulfed/alienated. Except the schizoid doesn’t have a “positive” split. Both splits are painful.

You aren’t failing if you need more support, accommodations or help than you did before. It’s okay to admit you’re not doing as well. Needing a cane one day does not make you a failure and not needing it another day does not mean you were faking. Not being able to handle a social situation one day despite being able to handle a similar one before is okay. It’s okay when things fluctuate. Your worth and value never change even when your capabilities do.

Mostly because we tend to express emotions exuberantly when we’re young and get shit on for it.  But its the only way we can do it.  So we just repress. 

These conditions aren’t totally understood, but they’re there. 

In fact there’s a growing body of evidence that how parents act is the biggest cause of childhood anxiety.

So I made a submission on behalf of Autistics United Canada to the project for awesome and would appreciate if ya’ll went and voted for it lol. 

They’re a volunteer autistic run self advocacy organization in Canada and they’re really going to be able to stretch any money they get.  So thank you.
