I am autistic and I cannot see how other people interpret my posts, so how am I supposed to know I'm being judgemental? I can never predict how people will respond to my posts so I'm sorry.
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
As an aunty to 2 small children I've been covered in my fair share of wee, poo and sick! It's all part of the job really and I'd rather get a little bit mucky than leave them to sit in it. It's never occurred to me to wear gloves and I don't think I ever would. I always wash my hands after though!
i dont find them judgemental, i find them kind of fasinating, you ask things that would never occur to most people
That's cool. Thanks.

I think that your OCD is probably contaminating your viewpoint.
When I go to the loo I wouldn't dream of using gloves to wipe myself after and as a result I wouldn't think of using gloves if I dealt with a child's nappy.
When your talking about it being disgusting etc I think it's important to mention that parents have been looking after children for a long long time without using gloves and have survived so it can't be that unusual!

I must say I agree that this thread has come across a little bit aggressive, though I completely understand that you struggle to identify things that may appear judgemental. I think in this instance it would have come across better had you just asked why people didn't wear gloves when changing babies, without adding "why on earth" and saying it was "gross", as that adds in your personal judgement, which to the reader implies that anyone who doesn't wear gloves is ridiculous. I think it's also a bit touchy because it refers to cleanliness and hygiene and people can get self-conscious of people ostensibly insulting their hygiene.
I hope that makes sense, and this is definitely not meant as an attack, I was just trying to explain.
I really don't get how changing a small child would not be the most disgusting thing ever and the stuff of nightmares and projectile vomiting. Obviously that is just my thought and fair enough to people who can stomach it though.
I only know of one person who eats poo any they will not be named here.
Some people should know who I'm talking about.

It's not like we enjoy it, but we'd rather get on with it than have our child sit around in dirty nappies all day. Babies can't clean themselves and that's just life. The human race has managed to suck it up for thousands of years and just deal with it without being immature and carrying on about how "disgusting" it might be. With disposables these days you just roll it up and chuck it out. Hardly taxing.
OP, I know you are autistic, I think the whole of RYL does, but perhaps you could try to keep your questions more of a factual nature instead of putting your own judgements in it - with words such as "why on earth" and "gross" that imply judgement. Perhaps keep your emotions out of it as I understand you find it difficult to interpret other people's.

There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.
Ok I need a list of words / phrases that I should not use because they are insulting / aggressive / judgemental, like "why on earth" and "gross".
