I suppose if you had a narrative you wanted to do confirmation bias on, and you tried really hard, and didnt read the study you might be able to think that This isn't a study, it's an event lead by 3 doctors. I really hope it's a positive event, I'm probably being overly cynical based on pervious experience with The Help Group. WeeWeiWiiWie posted... There's a high degree of overlap in development theories of these groups. I haven't personally seen that research, but if that's all this event is then great! kingdrake2 posted... anyone who say LGBT is a mental illness is completely wrong. i call it a lifestyle choice. I agree with the statement that it's not a mental illness, but I wouldn't call it a choice. Being gay/bi is not a choice. MrToothHasYou posted... So your implication here is that being disabled is a bad thing. No, my implication is that new outlets/trolls/terrible people like to cherry-pick and will say being LGBT = being autistic. I worked with adults with developmental disabilities for 5 years and my wife's younger and older brothers both are on the spectrum so I'm really protective of the group as a whole. --- --- <cite>The_Hat posted [p:960114806] in Webcast: T...
