Speducation sounds the opposite of professional. I like it.

No idea about the quality of the service itself, but "Speducation" cracks me up. Sounds like an insult my brother and I would have used in elementary school.

This is very funny. I wonder how it got the green light.

According to this video essay: https://youtu.be/t7J_oybRfuc
not every disabled baby was left to die. There are fossil records of disabled individuals that were kept, including one skull of a child with a brain deformity that lived to about the age of 5.
Other species of our genus Homo would care for disabled members of the group.

I've read before about how there's been clear evidence found of different tribes caring for injured and disabled members of their tribe before the dawn of civilization all over the world. I would say one of the things that sets humanity as a whole apart from other animals is our ability to have care and compassion for the unwell.

There's evidence Neanderthal's cared for injured and disabled people as well.

Can't get the links atm but the big one was an old (40ish) man who'd been severely injured in a hunt or fight. I believe broken hips or legs, skull injury (had a collapsed ear canal and eye socket so was partially deaf and blind) and all that had healed years before he died.

I also recall a girl with a birth defect and she lived into her teens.

North02 on YouTube has a long video discussing Neanderthals and this subject. Pretty interesting to listen to it you have the time.

That's usually people who have demonstrated their value already. In a preliterate society that depends on oral tradition to perpetuate itself, that old crippled guy is worth keeping around. Not so much a tard baby that will never amount to anything.

 

[MysticMisty]

Sometimes, if you didn't die, and you weren't completely useless they'd keep you around. Maybe they had a sort of fascination with it, like how Hindus see some weird deformities as a manifestation of their gods, or how the Victorian era had freak shows.

Always thought it was the sub saharan and African countries that were more the "leave the mong baby out to die" places. Lots of fucky superstitions. Also a lot of Orthodox Christian and rural India and China.

Well certain Africans have recently discovered westerners will donate big bucks to the most unfortunate looking babies and Discover TV might even film them. There are several production outfits that seem to specialize searching out pitiful “monster” babies in Africa and then milking the fuck out of the tragedy porn addicted westerners. I doubt much of the donated money ever reaches the poor kids involved, but they usually do “follow up” videos for the ones that get the most attention. Those poor people are thrilled with some cheap cake and a few toys while the ppl filming keep tens of thousands. Occasionally a “follow up” will involve a much needed doctors visit but they never inspire much confidence Jack or shit is going to be done for these unfortunate kids. (I.e. triangle head baby.)

Many disabilities don’t become apparent until the child is 4-5. Retard means lagging development. As long as the kid has enough brain power to latch onto a titty and looks normal enough to not get yeeted, they’re going to have a chance to make it past early childhood. Shit, some of these disabilities probably had better survival rates before modern medicine made abortion an option. Like a downy fetus had a better chance of making it to 5 in prehistoric time than it does in modern Iceland.

What percentage of tard babies could survive past infancy without modern extreme medical intervention? Not Tinslee, certainly.

All of the ones in this thread. Feeding tubes are the only reason many disabled babies survive. Difficulties feeding was a death sentence for many infants, even many with minor issues like a cleft palate. Managing to nurse and breath on their own was mandatory for survival, now that can be taken care of with technology so a tons of babies live that would have never survived fifty years ago. You rarely saw severely disabled people (at least ones born that way) before 1960 because they simply didn’t survive. The old footages and photos of institutions they put people in decades ago show a population that is physically capable (even if they may have limb deformities), the issues tend to be mostly intellectual.

You just didn’t survive very long if you had a myriad of physical problems.

Sometimes, if you didn't die, and you weren't completely useless they'd keep you around. Maybe they had a sort of fascination with it, like how Hindus see some weird deformities as a manifestation of their gods, or how the Victorian era had freak shows.

It probably depended on how well off the society/people were. If there were extra resources they would care for others to the best of their ability. If shit was bleak and survival difficult, then not so much.

As always, being born to a powerful or well-off family helped a great deal. Imagine a powerful tribe head or ruler had a disabled kid. Other lowly members would see an opportunity to help serve the ruler by caring for and helping the child. Suddenly that child’s survival also benefits the witch doctor, the “healer”, those who help nurse the child, etc…

People weren’t that different (brain wise) 2000 or 5000 years ago, but they dealt with levels or hardship and survival challenges that I don’t think we can fathom. It doesn’t leave room for sentimentality but most humans have a level of compassion for others. But compassion can be in shorter supply when resources are scare and hard choices necessary.

Our modern interpretation of Neanderthals being hunched over comes from the fact the first intact Neanderthal skeleton found was an elderly man suffering osteoporosis!

It's the same link as before. I would have liked to have seen a picture of the skull deformity.

Any social media site called SPEDxchange that's for anyone other that TRUE and HONEST speds (i.e. former students) is even more retarded than my literal short bus-riding, autistic ass.

Also the term "speducation" is both horrifying and hilarious, and I hope any sped teacher who uses it unironically has it be used as an insult by students.

It's ironically funny.

Many genetic disorders, one of them indeed being Down syndrome, have heart defects as one of the symptoms, and until the 1950s, little if anything could be done for them.

There's a book called "Angel Unaware" that Roy Rogers and Dale Evans wrote about their daughter who was born with Down Syndrome in the 1950s, and died at the age of 2 1/2 from mumps encephalitis. She also had a heart defect, and they were honestly surprised that she lived as long as she did.

I have to say I'm impressed by how long Luna lived before she got her feeding tube. Something like six, nine months? Unfortunate that her mom eventually changed her mind and got one installed, but I wonder how much longer she could've gone on without one.

Yeah I would think even with prenatal detection and abortion of downie fetuses the survival expectancy for downs is still much higher now than it was for most of human history. One thing this thread has taught me about downs is that being a tard is one of the least serious effects of it, because it has a shitton of associated serious (and fatal) health conditions life heart defects, leukemia, and now alzheimers.

Unfortunate that her mom eventually changed her mind and got one installed, but I wonder how much longer she could've gone on without one.

Given how malnourished she got, I'd guess at not much longer. Which in her case would've been a major blessing
