And here I thought it was neurological

Over at HealthBase I did a search, knowing full well from Sady of Tiger Beatdown’s description that it was horribly flawed.
I searched in Asperger’s Syndrome. My own disability. Aside from not being treatable with drugs and HealthBase suggesting the first 5 pharmaceuticals to treat it with (symptoms and bonus diagnoses might be drug-treatable), and under [...]

Minister shows restraint

Recently there’s been a lot of concern about the use of force in psychiatric wards here in Denmark. Many stories of patients being restrained to their beds for weeks on end have rolled over the headlines, and the Council of Europe have expressed concern that there seems to be an overuse of patient restraints in [...]

It’s only Parkinson’s

I’ve been wanting to take a picture of something for a while. But since I seldom carry my camera with me I haven’t yet had the opportunity. If I do get a pic, I’ll post it, but for now I’ll just tell you about a man I’ve seen downtown many times. Or, rather it’s not [...]

No Thanks, America

I’m all for receiving exports from you in terms of science, inventions, good books, music and actors. That’s cool. But there’s one thing I would’ve appreciated you’d have kept for yourselves:
40 Days For Life
This despicable anti-abortion propaganda group has now begun their first serious campaign. On the road leading to Holbæk hospital they have placed [...]

My nation’s ableist shame

A man named Jens Holst recently took it upon himself to demonstrate just how crappy disability access is in Denmark. Of course, his focus is on wheelchair users as that’s the groups he’s part of, but suffice to say that’s plenty bad enough. Once we start taking into account accommodations for invisible disabilities it won’t [...]

It’s official

I have Asperger’s. Finally. The appointment I’ve been waiting for for months now rolled around.
It was with some trepidation, I went. My experiences with psychiatrists and psychologists  have been bland at best. Really poor at worst. I’d heard good things about this guy, but as we all know: just because one person has good chemistry [...]

Appearing normal

I’m probably an Aspie. Nothing’s certain yet, as the psychologist I had didn’t know jack-shit about it. Right now I’m waiting for a psychiatrist appointment in September – he’s reportedly a good one. But I can’t allow myself to hope too much, because if it falls through, and he turns out to not be as [...]

Self-defense, murderous rage, same difference

On Sunday night the news broke that a 13 year old girl had died after having a fight with her father. Not long after the media started speculating that she must have been mentally ill. Surprise! An article in English has this to tell:
Odense man charged with murder says he was only trying to knock [...]

They’re really opposed to breast reductions out there

From the sometimes strange and sometimes frightening list of search terms that bring people to this blog I have drawn these little tidbits.
woman wants breast reduction
That one appears rather neutral. No problem there. But then the ‘fun’ starts.
breast reductions are bullshit
