Christian school cancels autism week after pastor calls activities 'demonic'

If take 100% of the people today, and you were to test them, you’d find that 100% have some sort of issue. They might still be high performing and functioning, but they have an issue.

Yes, we all have mental disorders.

Psychology isn’t a real science. It’s perceptive, influenced by fads and trends (LGBTQIA crap today for example), they can’t isolate the variables, often can’t reproduce the results... It’s mushy to begin with.

But then comes the fact that today having a mental illness can benefit one. The VA pension, give a punk kid that really should be backhanded a special accommodation (what MOST of these kids you’re referring to fall in), is used as an affirmative defense in law, helps get an early retirement and collect Social Security or a pension, give one attention...

Today, the parents of spoiled little punks, hide behind a phrenologist, I mean psychologist. They get their little punk a special accommodation so that he’s not held accountable for what are in reality behavioral issues the kid can control. The parents at home should be backing up the school or teacher, but instead want to pretend that their perfect little kid isn’t an @sshole.

Is there a mental disorder named: Gravis Podex?

I do.

I avoid all those pills, stay away from social media (they amplify weirdness and some of these mental issues you seem to think are real), don’t try to think about what sort of psychological issue I may have, have no electronics in the bedroom, workout every day, don’t eat $hit, and don’t subscribe to self victimization or an identity group that feels slighted.

And guess what, I really do enjoy life even being older, a cancer survivor and with kidney disease.

Happiness is something we create. It’s a state of mind.

Contentment is something we learn but it goes against what politicians, activists and business teach (content people don’t need to buy more).

Hope comes from faith. There is no hope in a glass or pill bottle.

And if you hop on the consumer bandwagon which includes most of this psychobabble, buy into the political identity and victimization junk, watch a lot of TV and spend time on social media (teaches you not to be content), keep electronics in your bedroom (won’t sleep right), don’t exercise, eat crap, ignore your spiritual well being, and think you can fix not feeling right with a pill- good luck.

That is correct. I, for example, never chose to be born with autism (high-functioning), and it caused me huge trouble for all my life.

Still, I‘m grateful that it’s not worse. Insofar, God has shown mercy to me, for which I am infinitely grateful, as well as for other blessings - even if these appear to be minor in the eyes of many others.
