If it was present before puberty, it is almost certainly hyperlordisis.

It can result in herniated spinal disks, but depending on the degree it can be quite correctable with physical therapy and regular exercise.

Perfect bird time

Oh yeah, it’s rolling brownout time!

Really excited for all the datacenters with zero power infrastructure, just big empty warehouses for nothing.

Okay grandpa, let’s get you to bed. Everybody knows it’s called MSNOW.

Wasn’t her dad a blimp pilot?

As a kid I was like, ah yes. Blimps! A common mode of transportation. But why don’t I see them? Hmm, must be a coastal thing.

Squats, bridges, hip flexor stretches, and lots of walking can be effective.

Autistic people don’t have a harder time building or maintaining muscle, they typically do less physical activity than their neurotypical peers. It seems to be somewhere between an executive function thing and a vicious cycle where poor coordination and low muscle mass lead to poor performance and frustration that leads to not exercising which worsens coordination and muscle mass.

I see we have a Michigander posting here on the Hexbears.

“You recently complained to me about L.L. Bean and how they discontinued their lifetime guarantee.”

That’s not quite right from a medical standpoint. While presentation can vary a bit, there are really consistent musculoskeletal features common to Autism and ADHD which are caused by reduced muscle tone. These are so common that some of them are actually diagnostically helpful.

Virtually all autistic people will have some degree of hyperlordisis of the lumbar spine related to an anterior pelvic tilt. You can also often see rib flaring as a result of this too. Both of these are also pretty common in ADHD and account for the balance board differences from NT people. The severity of ADHD/Autism symptoms are also proportional to the severity of hyperlordisis. That is to say the more severe one’s ADHD or Autism is, the weaker the muscle tone will be and the more the pelvis will be tilted.

Also common but not diagnostically helpful for Autism are scapular protraction, a forward head posture, and a shortening of calf ligaments caused by tiptoe walking.

Because all bodies are different and the degree of pelvic tilt and severity of muscle tone weakness varies there are naturally going to be variations that most people wouldn’t pick up on, but a physical therapist would be able to identify the commonalities.

TL;DR autistic people have a fat ass

This is so real. I’m exhausted all the time and have no stamina because of ME and it’s wild how often people assume that me needing to sit down every 5 minutes means I’m on opiates and nodding off.

It’s not even visually remotely close.

Clearly I am secretly a misogynist.

…I’m actually just really tired of seeing people do cracker shit in public. I really feel like whites have completely dropped the mask on their racism again.

Didn’t he stop doing the accordion hands thing immediately after the stroke?

No.

Consider why one would even bother interviewing an AI “actress.”

This is just viral marketing bullshit.

That’s really bizarre. Cops tend to keep their head on a swivel and walk a straight line with very efficient body movements. I kinda walk like a cop because I used to be a long distance hiker before I exploded my knees.

The autism gait is essentially the exact opposite, clumsy and uncoordinated body movements, typically unable to follow a straight line, and usually looking down at the ground at their destination. The pelvis is tilted incorrectly and there’s a slight lean.

I think the only behavioral thing that might be in common would be having bent arms. Autistic people sometimes do T-Rex arms, where cops may keep their arms bent while jogging or power walking because they’re accustomed to reaching for crap on their belt.

The bot fused together open-source intelligence with secret signals intelligence in government holdings and reached its fateful conclusion about the material the ship was carrying.

Some random unverified tweets, then.

Officials say the US can’t afford to fall behind in integrating AI in case it must one day fight China or another adversary who would potentially be able to stay one step ahead of the US.

What the fuck. This entire sentence is just awful. Just fuckin carrying water for these fascist dorks.

Dragonflies are so cool. There’s so many little darners in my area during the summer and it’s awesome to watch them do fighter jet aerial tricks while hunting little bugs.

They actually can bite if they feel very threatened, but most species can’t really hurt you or break the skin. I think A. walsinghami might be large enough to give a noticeable bite, akin to pinching yourself with your fingernails.

Oh yeah, that’s a giant darner for sure. Great identification!
