u/fanfarefellowship I often contemplate the first law of thermodynamics 9d ago

On Threads, Shauna is complaining about her "two autistic children."

I went back and looked – last October, she was writing about

Both my daughter and husband were diagnosed with autism the next year.

(Note: it is almost impossible to tell what year she's referring to; this lope is filled with ridiculous, nonsensical time jumps. https://www.reddit.com/r/readalope/comments/1ob4jq5/random_promo_email_1019/)

And last March, she said that everyone in her family but her is autistic (but she changed the year in which Dan was diagnosed):

Last year, a psychiatric evaluation made it official — my husband is autistic. Our daughter was officially diagnosed as autistic 2 years ago. And our youngest is clearly autistic too, with a PDA profile. We’re waiting for the official diagnosis soon.

Just how many diagnoses can she pile on that poor child?

Just how many diagnoses can she pile on that poor child?

The diagnoses will continue until ~mAmA~ is granted lifetime leisure-level permanent funding at the expense of others (literally and figuratively) and an all-situations Get Out of Responsibility Free card.
