Ep. 200 Premium - asking a doctor stupid questions [AUDIO]

You guys should get Markiplier on

i really want an episode with sanchovies

To add one random guy's context to Slime's question about "Is autism as a catchall term useful?" -- My brother and I are both on the spectrum. I have what would be considered "high functioning" autism. I started speaking earlier than most children. My brother was non-verbal for the first 4 or 5 years of his life and had a lot of eating issues as well - he required very aggressive care to help him get to a relatively "normal" place. I'm by no means an expert - but I think that there is evidence to show that even though it looks different in different people, it *is* actually the same thing.

absolutely fitting that the 200th patreon episode is the autism ep

The last 10 minuites of this was some of the funniest shit I’ve heard in a while

The r word jumpscare got me during work dude

brilliant episode for spotify

This episode taught me that Nick only comprehends autistic people through Rainman

would love to see an episode with sanchy that would be sick

Holy fuck the Fanum tax pussy bit almost broke me in the middle of the office and I don't know how I could explain why I was laughing so hard

Love On The Rug, with Slime Ahnder

yooo nick i had a similar situation with my 2nd grade spanish teacher but because i colored santa a different color than everyone else lol also slime if i have tmj fr (this is probably useless cuz im 27) but i would recommend wearing ear plugs to any loud place, my jaw digs into my ear which makes certain frequencies harsher and i had my first major hearing loss event at like my 3rd concert ever mostly cuz of my jaw

dude…… thr last bit… i am almost died

TLDR: the term ASD or autism works as an umbrella term to help get folks with differing needs government/local supports they need to live a more comfortable life and hopefully thrive! Without the label they might not qualify for needed supports bc insurance 😐 However it’s important to remember that a label like ASD doesn’t tell a persons whole story. To add a note to Slimes question of why do we use the umbrella term autism or ASD; on the care worker and support side, it is a helpful term for folks who are diagnosed to get supports and accessibility needs met where ever they go (hopeful at a lower/no cost to the person/family!) AWithout certain labels, unfortunately, people who have diverse needs would not be able to use certain government or support agency resources due to not having the ‘right label’ or only being able to receive insurance covered care if they have a certain diagnosis. This concept applies to many disabilities, especially internal or less immediately ‘visible’ ones. These supports can look like many things! For the kids I have worked with it can be communication supports like talking tablets for non verbal students, specialized learning tools for home, personal care assistants (PCA) outside of school, medications for co-morbidities that help manage symptoms, and so much more like smaller but still important things like more accessible clothing! Having said that, these labels are really only helpful for, like Dr. noodle man said, getting a baseline understanding of a persons condition. A label doesn’t tell a persons whole story! I could say so much more about this but I hope this helps give a perspective, everything I’ve learned is from on the job experience and training, not schooling, so if anyone knows more and I’m wrong please correct me! Sorry if my wording could’ve been more eloquent. 💗 from a PCA/paraprofessional yardigan, congrats on ep200!

so insane as a european to hear about how homeless people are a part of normal life and how theyre treated in the US, feels like a cheesy political commentary short film

slime: im goated bc i havent changed in 40 years 😭

Nick genuinely asking if autism can be unlearned… I’m stunlocked trying to write this. It literally unlocked a new motion in my body where I rolled my eyes and my head. I appreciate being undereducated and wanting to learn, that’s awesome, but that question was a crit and hurt

Slime's like I'm not autistic but then also says he only started understanding doctors when he look at them as puzzle solvers hmm

hey will you guys text qt and ask why wine about it isn’t out yet

57:40 onwards may be the funniest section of podcast period

I (autistic) have not seen love on the spectrum, but i have had various support people/mental health professionals recommend it to me, so I assume it's probably average at worst in how it portrays autism.

i thought to myself as this episode ended “the last 3 minutes have been a highlight of this podcasts entire run” and then it got cut short bc it was too funny to top

About the Autism topic and specifically nicks question about if it can be “unlearned”. I was diagnosed with autism when I was ~14, as a kid I was extremely social anxious and had a really difficult time connecting and relating to people and was certainly very sensitive to most stimulus, the upside was I was cracked as fuck at math and read far beyond my age. Yet as I grew up I began to “learn” how to socialise well. The turning point was when I was 16 and I started working in my local pub and started playing rugby. The combination of getting physically fitter and therefore more confident and then working in a forcefully social job led to me now at age 21 being extremely social, and since I was hyper aware about my social skills I have now don’t personally see myself as ‘autistic’ while when I was younger I 100% felt very isolated and ‘different’. Also as a final note I believe the umbrella term of ‘autism’ and the ‘spectrum’ to be unbelievably diluted and frankly stupid to use as it’s so vague and undefined and it leads to people have false preconceptions (mostly negative) about people that have been diagnosed with autism. P.S. Up The Ra

I never comment in the patreon but it’s important to me that the guys know that the real “seeing a dinosaur”equivalent is Roman soldiers seeing Hannibal’s elephants in battle for the first time

Risk of rain mentioned
