Usually I can sorta follow along but I never could figure out what/why/how you decided that I was a parental figure for you. I'm touched.

Here's another frown: Comcast On Demand does not have Modern Family on demand. Bastards.

So, if I understand this correctly: You need extensive time to process shit, but then you understand it? That's not a disability, that's called being thick. Memorizing by repeating and rote learning methods isn't actual learning unless you can apply it - but part of the application also has to do with how quickly you apply it.

Can we stop labeling every fucking thing a disability? If you have trouble processing things - tape record it, and learn it on your own time, and that doesn't disrupt your class by you being the only one with a laptop. THEO HUXTABLE HAD DYSLEXIA TOO AND ALL HE DID WAS WORK HARDER GODDAMN IT.

As for breaking confidentiality: as soon as you receive public benefits to even the playing field, it's no longer a private condition (personal opinion, not legal). I worked as a social worker for people with HIV/AIDS and part of my work was coordinating medicare/medicaid, and I never breached confidentiality without their written consent (that included with doctors). But then again, I never walked into a doctor's office and demanded that my client be given preferential treatment.

This post made me so hard.

Also, isn't Gnome Rage getting a sociology degree? Or psychology? I think that renders the last 300 posts moot.

Ah so when you say "my mom" you mean moms in general? I'm so confused. Here I thought I got another son without labor...

All I know is that if she is in a psych course that this bullshit is happening, then the teacher really should be ashamed. Ignorance regarding this stuff is bad, but someone in the mental health field should know better.

That department head that was fired partly for this kind of thing? Head of the Psych department. Its a shame.

He should know better that getting an education in psychology or sociology isn't actually preparation for a real job outside of school.

Did I mean no to the question about moms in general? Or about you having another son?
