Correct. someone I know was working at a university that offered a Paediatrics course by distance education (people from all over the world enrolled) and they were investigating a new way to get course materials out. Previously they sent people a CD-ROM with slides but then were notified that some of the images of naked children (eg. "here is what this rash looks like") were found in photo collections of paedos.
SHH is actually why there are pretty stringent rules now regarding how to name genes.
This is the other half of my half baked sperg about the EDS and autism genes from the other thread. I had a series of fascinating conversations with a father of a boy who had both autism and a brain tumour caused by issues with those genes. We both concluded that one possible underlying cause of autism could be a failure of this pathway "snipping" excess connections causing the developmemt of an autistic brain that has more pathways than a neurotypical brain, and in the case of severe autists has so much signal noise they can't function. Whenever I asked him was it a glial cell tumour he wouldn't answer because I think I was too close to his big pet theory. He was an incredibly clever sperg.
I agree with you. They don’t seem like cows to me either, just a family dealt a shitty hand who is trying to make the best out of a really difficult situation.
There's also Robotnikin, Mothers Against Decapentaplegic, and Lunatic Fringe. All very good band names.
Any kind of artificial body opening is going to be a magnet for germs, and a trache is certainly no exception. The nose does a good job of filtering out harmful bacteria, and she isn't using it as much as she should.
I am so intrigued by this idea and the cross with the possibility of some kind of genetic link between autism and hyper mobility. Do you have any studies or anything you can link that could start me down a way-too-intense rabbit hole into looking at this kind of thing?
The ironic thing about naming it sonic hedgehog is whatever autist named it that probably had some SHH action going on himself. Yes I'm saying himself because it was almost certainly a dude.
I'm afraid as far as I know most of this particular line of possible connection exists inside my head and the heads of other spergs and maybe some researchers and specialists. Not much has been published. There's a putative link between autism and EDS. The bits all make sense if you go and look them up separately. Eds and autism. Eds and glial cells. Autistic brain vs neuroypical brain. Eds brain looks like autistic Brain. SSH pathways and snipping. I've done enough acid but I didn't do enough academia to have all the proper information to actually go and do a literature review and try and put it together. What we actually need to do is feed @Thomas Eugene Paris fuck tonnes of hallucinogens and I reckon kiwifarms can crack the autism code.
Autists do tend to congregate in STEM so you're probably right. It's autism all the way down.
I think that's exactly what she is. She got her glasses when she's cortically blind just like Luna. Most glycosylation disorders are degenerative. She looked "there" as a little baby, but suffered a day of over 18 seizures and has never been the same since. Even her mother admits she has never been the same after the one before she was on keto.
Not sure she's thread-worthy in and of herself but you've provided enough supporting evidence that I think she probably does belong in here as part of the herd. I'd like to see more of mum being cowish though, outside of the kid's medical issues. With Paisley we get the monat nonsense and Luna is Healy-adjacent and drowning in Robyn's other woo insanity, and we get a fuller picture of mother-as-cow as a result. So far Havyn's family seem more tame. Are the parents prone to mad histrionics or spazzing out at doctors or internet detractors or anything? They have potential but the laughs are thin on the ground heretofore.
OT as fuck but thanks for the oblique Pratchett reference <3
Hard to tell but the 2 doctors refusing to keep treating her thing implies that as one of the possibilities. She called hematology "her favourite speciality" probably bc they kiss her butt.
