Bazza Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures One of my friends from work has an autistic son, he gets in trouble at school. Latest episode she told me about was that he is a victim of bullying because of his autism. He was holding some scissors when he stood up for himself and the classroom was cleared like a bomb scare. That was the second bit of trouble in as many days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMiller Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Yeah, my wife has told me that there are both good and bad autistic kids, just like the rest of humanity really. Thankfully, she doesn't work in a public school, but rather a school specifically for special needs kids. So, she has tons of support and the school is super supportive of both the students and their families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures I think more (perhaps) the bad autistic kids are not getting the support and understanding they need. Or maybe they are super-special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMiller Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures I think more (perhaps) the bad autistic kids are not getting the support and understanding they need. This is more true than most people realize. However, there are some whose disabilities cause certain mental hardships that they just have a hard time dealing with even with the support of those around them. Usually it results in them hurting themselves, but there are times when it hurts others. However, as you point out, it is typically when they are left to their own devices for too long. That could be as short as just a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures From logical fallacies site: You used a personal experience or an isolated example instead of a sound argument or compelling evidence. It's often much easier for people to believe someone's testimony as opposed to understanding complex data and variation across a continuum. Quantitative scientific measures are almost always more accurate than personal perceptions and experiences, but our inclination is to believe that which is tangible to us, and/or the word of someone we trust over a more 'abstract' statistical reality. There is some truth to this, yes, but I'm still inclined not to discount personal experience as well simple. Science is not the only tool we have, neither is statistics, and personal experience can be compelling evidence. edit: eye-witness testimony in a court case.

Narf the Mouse Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Pssh...when was the last time you saw someone agree to a compromise? Any time a new bill goes through a government that has some of what everybody wants, so it gets voted through - And is this an incoherent piece of junk. Although that might just be my opinion.

Shadow Hawk Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures You are aware that Aristotle literally wrote the book on logic, well several in fact. (and true) "Aristotle, using the system of logic that he invented, proved that women are inferior to men because women have fewer teeth." And you can tell the difference between a philosophy major and a science major by how they react to this statement. The Philosophy Major will start looking up counter arguements and supporting arguements. The Science Major will start counting teeth. Aristotle was wrong. Men and women have the same number of teeth. He never looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
