Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

          As an aside, my wife has an uncle who is mentally retarded, but he doesn't know or refuses to believe this (Anosognosia). My wife, when she was young, came to the shocking realization that if no-one told him about his condition, what if no-one told her either. Because of this she was convinced for a while that she might be mentally retarded, but didn't know it.

          I went through something existentially similar to her: a few years ago, at the height of my then-untreated anxiety, i happen upon the thought "what if I'm God?" then got stuck on it being neither provable nor unprovable. until my boyfriend told me, "if you were God, wouldn't you know you were God?" and that, my friends, is why we got married (also cuz he knocked me up LOL)

          [–]Rob_S 1 point2 points ago

          sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

          ha! I think that's similar to how she figured it out. If she knew enough to ask herself this question, she was probably not.

          Good story though, I'd love to know what your thought process was for that.

            I have always dreamed of objects instead of people. On the rare occasions when I dream of entities, they almost always look like mundane and seemingly random objects. These personas do not represent people I know.

            It was around age 30 with a diagnosis of Aspergers that I put 2 and 2 together. I'm not really wired to be preoccupied with social matters.

            So I agree with you. I wasnt aware that other people were different; that they could be different. That seems to be one of the lynch pins of empathy.

            Of course we get that null awareness back; regular folks cant always quite fathom that we are different in ways outside their experience.

            Even the doctor that diagnosed me seems to slip a gear at some of my peculiarities, and hes strongly hinted that his son is on the autism spectrum. He should know better, but hes not wired to colour his perceptions correctly.

            I do note though, that as I age, I become more empathetic. My empathy was never an issue growing up because I was calmly indifferent, accepting. Nothing is more cruel that a heart that actually cares.

                    A friend who works special ed told me a while back that the firm "hug" sensation (doesn't have to be actually a hug) is something that a lot of autistic kids find especially calming. Dunno how much of that is based in science, but it just came to mind looking at that.

                      I have two autistic kids. It's called compression therapy, For some kids they need a full hug and to be held while others it's like a mini massage squeeze lightly then let go starting at the tops of the shoulders and down the arms.

                          They really do like the feeling of getting squeezed, but most of them hate human contact and get very upset over hugging, thus, as the other comments said, the hug machine. My mom also teaches autistic kids. (Cutest kids youll ever meet)

                            The hug thing and the opposite - the dislike of being touched, are not actually traits of autism. They are sensory issues and even neurotypical people have these issues. I think it's like 1 out of 4 "normal" people have some sort of sensory issue. Keep in mind even a seemingly minor issue could be regarded as a sensory issue.

                            It can come in lots of forms (in regards to the senses; touch, hearing, smell, etc.) but the two categories are hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity.

                            Hypersensitive people get overstimulated and can actually experience pain from seemingly ordinary things. So maybe a kid doesn't like to be hugged or the tag in a shirt makes him crazy or the texture of a piece of clothing is unbearable. Or perhaps loud noises or crowded places causes severe pain or anxiety.

                            Hyposensitive people are understimulated and seek out more sensory input. Hyposensitive people, as it relates to touch, often have a higher than normal threshold for pain or even a dulling of ordinary pain which can actually be endangering to the individual.

                            What's even more troubling is that some people can even be both hypersensitive and hyposensitive in different senses.

                            Autism deals with developmental delays, including social and speech. While lots of these delays can in effect be treated through various types of behavioral, speech, and occupational therapy and can in best case scenarios "normalize" many behaviors and help autistic folks lead normal lives, sensory issues tend to be a tougher nut to crack.

                            I'm slightly autistic, and I can attest to this. I've always hated hugs or even any sort of touch from people I don't know or don't like... but I absolutely love hugs from any of my female friends; the longer and harder the hug, the better. (Male hugs aren't as soft, and they're also rougher and sweatier and there's far too many social questions to feel comfortable with them, but I can picture enjoying them, too, under the right circumstances.)

                            It's like a kind of hypersensitivity, perhaps. I don't handle touching very well at all; I tend to overreact one way or the other, compared to non-autistic people.

                            The way I explain it to people who don't know much about autism (I work with autistic kids, not autty myself) is imagine if while you're sitting in a chair you can feel the chair, you can feel your socks on your feet, your shirt on your back, things that most normal people feel all the time but don't pay any attention to.

                            They also make socks for autistic kids with no seams because some kids are irritated by little things like that, and it will drive them absolutely crazy. (Why people don't just turn the socks inside out, not sure...)

                              Been known for years. Lots of kids with sensory issues wear a weighted vest to simulate continuous deep pressure like this. Some kids it helps calm down enough to concentrate and do better in class. With other kids it just eliminates one thing that gets them stirred up.

                              I believe its reminiscent of "swaddling," i.e. when babies are tightly wrapped up.

                                You know the part of the brain that handles anagrams? Yeah that one, I don't have that. Even after it's pointed out I still need to pick the word apart letter by letter to confirm it. It's beyond me how people spot them.

                                  I'm diagnosed (HFA) and it ain't so bad. I went to special social training and attend therapy once a month (my choice). Relationships can be tricky but hey you're not autistic and I bet they're tricky for you too.

                                  Best things about autism:

                                  1. There can be real upsides in terms of knacks and skills.

                                  2. It's getting increasingly considered to be untreatable, which helps to avoid being experimented upon with modern meds.

                                  Social training in some manner is likely a good idea. When one is kind of foggy about social boundaries, there are things one can learn to avoid doing.

                                  Relationships can indeed be tricky. Understatement of the year.

                                  I'm not diagnosed but my own mother thinks both she and I are mildly autistic, so who am I to argue with her?

                                  Right. Though there seems to be certain skill sets that are highly correlated to instinctual expression. The whole mating dance for instance. Some times that doesnt matter though.

                                  Tried to answer this and managed to click my comment away...

                                  Will try again. I think it helps for mildly autistic people to recognize that they have some qualities that will inhibit them socially, some kinds of social blindness, and either train themselves not to do those things that cause them problems, or just accept that those behaviors will inhibit them socially, depending on how they feel about these trade-offs.

                                  The mating dance is highly cultural and social and autistic people are perfectly capable of instinctual expression and communication. It's the social and cultural stuff that we can be a bit blind about. It gets too complicated. And yes, it's all based on instinctual stuff, but for some reason it becomes too stressful to work with. There is a lot of anxiety going on with autism. I think the hyperstimulation angle is probably very important to consider. One can react via withdrawing, or via overreacting. I have done both. Lately I've moved more into withdrawing, because overreacting is more likely to give offense.

                                  We are all managing the best we can, we folks who rank relatively high on the autistic quality spectrum. But I do not think it is a good thing to encourage laughing at us. Another commenter on this thread suggested that. I made the same error on another thread elsewhere on reddit last night, about schizophrenia, and got roundly dressed down via PM by another redditor who is diagnosed schizophrenic.

                                  I do not write this to equate the two. But I thought the person who PM'd me had a point, and I wrote her/him back and apologized.

                                  Nobody really likes being made fun of. Pretending one is okay with it can be a helpful survival strategy, but really, it's just an act.

                                      Listen..as a mother of an autistic child and one who has worked in special needs, I would like to tell those yelling about being "PC" to get a grip. Sometimes its all the rules of being PC that put a barrier up between you and someone who might be different. How about just relax and be normal around them. Stare at us...ask questions...laugh! Isnt that how you get to know people? I guess Im one of the few parents that is proud of who my child is and doesnt need people walking around us on eggshells. Laugh cos sometimes he DOES do funny things! I love him for it.

                                      That's so true. Ricky Gervais has a new show called Life's Too Short where the main character is Warwick Davis, a little person and an actor. During the first episode I found myself wondering if this was exploitation or if it was inappropriate.. just because he's little and I was laughing. I shook myself out of it and realized that's insane.. if we don't feel comfortable around people with disabilities or differences because we're terrified of being inappropriate or insensitive, we'll end up depriving them of a normal life anyway.

                                      Exactly! If you avoid him and act weird around him you are not treating him like everyone else. Its ironic, isnt it? Just wish parents would get over their own fear of judgement that they project onto their kids. My son isnt high functioning, so he could care less. (Literally, he would walk through the store nude if he could, cos clothes are for fools, ya know) But if you ask a higher functioning child what hurts them the most, its that no one engages with them.

                                      Alright. I have a question. My boys are in scouts, and one of the scout leaders is deaf. It freaks me out, and I don't know why. He sits by himself, only with his own son, and I want so badly to include him in the fun and joking the rest of us do, but it's difficult because he isolates himself. What can I do?

                                      Just start by giving eye contact and a smile. It just freaks you out because you are not sure how to act. Being an adult, Im sure he is pretty good at reading lips. Just be friendly and yourself. Its all you can be and Im sure it will make him feel good that someone tried. :)

                                      PS. You should do an AMA. You've got a pretty solid perspective.

                                      I'm deaf and I have two words for you... PEN and PAPER. Okay, fine, "and" is three but everyone knows that doesn't count. Just bring a notepad and start writing to him, don't be upset by gestures, feel free to gesture too, deaf people are pretty cool with gestures even if they are bad like Me (points to self) Too(with two fingers up). Be extremely friendly every time you ask him to write something out, instead of frustrated, and try to read as he is writing so it feels like you're reading it real-time. Even if I am not terribly interested in the conversation, I always feel really appreciative when someone drops me a note like "oh we are talking about the game from last night" or "oh we are talking about getting pizza after" or tries to speak with me (I DO read lips but can't follow large convos). It may be unlikely that the deaf dad will ever really be part of the group as a scout dad, because large hearing groups w/o signing + a lone deaf person... it just doesn't add up, but you can be a personal contact, a friendly face and who knows, it may be a nice friendship - lots of hearing people do fine 1 on 1 with deaf folks, but groups fall apart communication-wise. I have two kids and I know that its tough to be a CODA (child of deaf adult) kid sometimes in situations like this! It might be nice for them to see if they can find a deaf/CODA scouts group!

                                          I have some friends that have a kid with Asperger syndrome. Most people get uneasy quickly, but I get waaay too involved debating Transformers vs. Teletubbies battle scenarios with this kid. Then we play with Legos.

                                          I tend to make people unconformable, I think it's partly due to the eye contact issues, whether it's to much or to little.

                                          But sometimes I guess it's because I tend to ramble on about various topics, and it's not until someone snaps me out of my spiel that I realize that no one else at the table cares about the different types of nuclear reactors and how their cooling systems work.

                                              PC = Politically Correct. If I'm not mistaken, corriek1975 means that people try to be as inoffensive (PC) as possible, resulting in a stigma against talking lightly about serious topics such as autism.

                                              It seems like society almost doesn't want special needs kids to be kids. We laugh and play with "normal" kids without a second thought, and all children should have that opportunity! Also dogs = special awesome therapy.

                                              I had the honor of tutoring a retarded dude in my third year as a physics T.A. One of the funnest students I've ever had and I and everyone I know who's come into contact with him love him to death.

                                              Our conversation was as normal as it can be. We'd shoot the shit, talk about what we're stressed about, and how shit-faced we're prepared to get after finals, etc. We still party together regularly, unless my schedule doesn't allow. To me he's just one of my friends; no special treatment beyond how I'd treat a good buddy. I don't understand those who'd want to segregate the explicitly mentally challenged from what we'd consider to be normal social interactions just because they can't do some of the things we can. It's fucking bullocks and extremely condescending when our standard of interpersonal relationships are kept exclusively to those who are either normal or should be assimilated before we can see them eye to eye.

                                              Thanks for the sentiment. I'm a mental health professional. I take children's development/education seriously, but honestly, kids do funny stuff sometimes. Sometimes all you can do is laugh. You're trying what you can and you just have to grin and bear it. Otherwise, the mountain of small failures will eat you alive. Focus on what a child can do and how you can get them to do more than what they can't do. Hell, try naming the different things a 'normal' kid can't do without getting frustrated.

One was normal and liked a drink, the rest were either too disabled or also had mental disabilities. We gave that guy three pints and he knocked them all back in a single slug through a straw in under 30 seconds each. That guy was awesome!

                                                Those kids can be so much fun to hang out with. My best friend in preschool was an autistic boy. He was completely enamored with the Jurassic Park movies, and would gravitate towards anything dinosaur-related. When we were twelve he invited me to see the Barney musical just because he loved the dinosaur characters so much. It's been close to eight years since then, and that's still an awesome memory. I hated Barney, but hanging out with him was always fun. I haven't seen him since then, but a family friend (who used to run the preschool) told me that when my friend hit adolescence he started having serious behavioral problems and will have to live with an aid for his entire life even though when I was friend with him he seemed to be rather high-functioning...

                                                Later on I went back to the preschool and worked with an autistic five-year-old who would look at people and make snoring sounds if they said 'goodnight' to him. It was hilarious.

                                                Fascination with dinosaurs seems to be a common thread with autistic kids. I wonder why that is?

                                                Fascination and obsession is common especially in high functioning and aspurgers. One of my students ruminates and gravitates towards titanic and maps.

                                                    nose and eyes make three geometrically opposed circles, then there are repetitive circles cascading down increasing in size. i would try to present this child with shapes or fractals to see if this hypothesis is correct. geometric art maybe?

                                                    I was thinking perhaps it was related to the textures. I know certain people with autism are either attracted or repelled by certain textures, and everything in this photo looks so fuzzy and soft.

                                                    this could be the answer, i think though that you are on the right track either way, it probably has very little to do with the actual objects in the picture, the dog, towel, mirror.

                                                    Actually, I'm more inclined to think that the picture is showing the kid an emotion that he can easily resolve and enjoy feeling for himself, without the stress of looking at a person.

                                                    I'm slightly autistic, and I'm quite convinced of the oversensitivity theory when it comes to emotions and empathy... at least for some people.

                                                      Or just a picture of a really cute dog maybe?

                                                      Slightly relevant random information:

                                                      The dog's tongue looks to a bit too large for its mouth. This is fairly common among mixed breed dogs especially onces of different sizes. Breeding two different sized dogs does not necessarily create a balanced average between the two, but different parts ending up as varying sizes between them. For example, short dog + large dog can give you a large bodied dog with short legs. The same is most likely true for the dog in the picture as it gained the tongue size closer to the larger of the parents.

                                                      ...I don't think anyone actually cared to know that. I'll uh.. show myself out. Have a nice day.

                                                      That's interesting, because it looks almost exactly like a papillon, which is a pure breed dog. I wonder if it's a papillon mix.

                                                      Toy breeds can have a big difference in sizes especially in areas with a lot of puppy mills/backyard breeders who aren't very selective about breeding practices. It's possible even just an oversized papillon bred to a smaller one can give some oddly sized parts. Really though it's virtually impossible to tell what breed it is from just seeing its face.

                                                            I feel the need to point out that many autistic people are reassured by the feeling of pressure/"hugging" around their bodies, but not if someone else is in control of it - this is why some autistic people like wrapping themselves in weighted blankets. Temple Grandin, the autistic animal behaviorist, has written about this, and even devised her own "squeeze machine" that she could control herself. So basically this dog, who is wrapped in a towel and looks very pleased and relaxed, is the embodiment of the physical reassurance that many autistic people hope to achieve. Not surprising the OP's autistic student is so attached to it.

                                                            At first, the thumbnail led me to believe that it was a seal with a weird face...

                                                            Perhaps Comealongthingy is referring to the problem some autistic individuals have with holidays, birthdays and events that disrupt routines.

                                                            Yep very true my kids are out if control right now- family changes routines at home and excitement about holidays. Way too much for them. Love my job though!
