Thank You for sharing this. I completely agree!
As someone with axis ‘disorder’ friends a lot of trauma based reactions leading to diagnostic criteria or various very understandable symptoms get reated very poorly and it both angers and upsets me.
I do not currently have the energy to argue or correct the others in this thread. So I’d just like to say thank You for at least attempting to bring this to other’s attention, we need more of this.
Finally, a positive comment! Thank you so much, you made me believe posting this was worth it
You are welcome. Please do keep posting more!
Well, that’s one exception to Betteridge’s Law.
No, it’s not an exception. The correct answer is no.
The article is talking about “health problem” in its last paragraph. But Narcissism isn’t a mental disorder or a mental illness; it is a personality disorder. (The narcissist is not suffering from the disorder; it’s the surrounding people who are.) The whole text is based on the author’s wrong understanding of the fundamentals of the subject, which renders the whole article useless.
I’d rather read a seven page essay on how triangles aren’t real than endure this God awful “article”.
What is this drivel, and why are you trying to share it?
I’m sharing it because I don’t like slurs and I don’t like people urging doctors to use diagnoses as weapons.
I really can’t tell whether you’re trolling or genuinely misled. Either way, can we please stop using faux political correctness to try & suppress any legitimate idea that just so happens to rub any self-declared militant snowflake the wrong way? It’s a stark abuse of (and disservice to) the legitimate fight against discrimination.
Yes, Trump is obviously a narcissist. Yes, anybody who claims that that statement has anything to do with ableism either doesn’t know what either of those words mean or is intentionally trying to cause trouble.
It’s not faux. I’m a person living with NPD. I suffer the abuse every day of people who heard that my disability was what we call evil people. You can say that slurs don’t harm disabled people when you’re disabled like I am. When you have lived experience of the struggles of people with NPD. Otherwise, it’s just a neurotypical talking down to a disabled person about how wanting to exist free of harassment and abuse is “performative”.
So, besides all the assumptions you make and, let’s say debatable conclusions you draw from them: your point is that the solution to the problem of this particular case of (perceived) ableism is that we simply pretend that Trump is just your regular low-key average Joe? Or are you attempting to solve the problem by prohibiting a word that you personally don’t like to hear and calling it a day?
I’m still not sure I understand what you’re getting at.Edit: spelling/grammar.
Of course he isn’t an average joe. He’s a rapist, a felon, a fascist, a traitor, and a would-be-dictator. Why do you think someone has to be neurodivergent in order to be extradordinarily evil?
And please stop nisgendering Me. My pronouns are in My bio.
