Yes, everyone is on the spectrum and as you age characteristics become more pronounced. It’s just the way it is

[Jake_Brady_10]

Seems like he has also shut down his offical Instagram account today.

Because he had been getting up to mischief.

[Sameolds2010]

if your kid’s out and out hyperactive, he can be “on the spectrum” you could even have a footy fan “spectrum”

Not really, no.
When ‘spectrum’ is used in that context, it’s used as ‘Autism Spectrum’ - which is totally different from ‘hyper-activity’ (or ADHD) and should not be confused with each other.

Thats not exactly true either. ADHD is not part of the Autism spectrum but many of the symptoms overlap & having 1 of these conditions significantly increases the likelihood of being diagnosed with both. Some studies suggest up to half of those diagnosed on the spectrum also suffer ADHD. There is also some significant research into genetic connections between the conditions where a family member with ADHD is very likely to have close relatives diagnosed on the spectrum & vice versa.

Ok, fair enough.
Thanks for correcting me.

I get jack if the whole spectrum thing. I get that there’s some people who clearly suffer (sometimes) with Aspergers and then there’s others who might just have a subtle diagnosis which is more or less incidental.
What’s flummoxes me though is when these utter parsnips come out with everyone’s in the spectrum. Why fracking have the spectrum then? it’s like saying everyone’s on the heart failure spectrum, as in it functions fine or it’s packed it in.
But yes it’s a measurement by which to treat things. it’s when people that have no idea, and then those who are qualified into thinking they do, trot it out sounding like rob sich at the dinner party.

The spectrum replaced terms like Aspergers & I’m not sure you really understand autism if you think they suffer sometimes. The idea of the spectrum is that the common symptoms of autism like sensory processing can vary greatly in how they present from case to case. Everybody has different ways they respond to light, noise etc but its only when these responses fall below a standard level that it becomes a problem & its only when several of these occur in a person that they get a diagnosis of ASD. You for example may not read peoples facial expressions very well - thats a common autistic trait but it doesn’t mean you are autistic just where that part of you measures on the spectrum. From that perspective everyone is somewhere on the spectrum.

We’re waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off topic so I’ll leave it there.

I don’t know how you can argue there’s no suffering when you see a kid go off if they are exposed to certain things.
I thought that would be pretty obvious to anyone.
Yes off topic. Away we go.

I was watching the replay of the dogs v giants prelim in 2016 and Jake looks a good 5 to 10kg lighter than he does at essendon. Being that we wanted to develop his tank to play midfield it’s surprising that his bulked up as usually you trim down if this is the case. The club might of encouraged this because they wanted the extra size at stoppages, but it is interesting.

You can bulk up with lean muscle whilst losing weight. Which i believe he has done.

[Theclubsanga]

He can translate exactly what the opposition is saying…handy for understanding toothless Collingwood and Norf fans. Cool!

[Theclubsanga]

What the fark has happened to your cool profile pic? Now you’re just an ordinary nob!

[Tippa-the-Iceberg]

Had,as in recently?
Or b4 he joined us?

Huh? ‘Do you even lift bro’?

[Serenity_Now]

I’ve probably said this every year but this is going to be a looooong off-season.

[Jake_Brady_10]

As in since he has joined us and recently.

[wannabe]

Check the symbolism in the ink. He started with a visceral predator, the lion, capped off with a silent, deadly but wise predator, the great horned owl, emerging from under the huge spread wings atop the crest of acanthus leaves.

Read into it what you want. But its completely over the top.

All it tells me is that he makes poor life decisions and has poor taste in art.

[Speedy_Gonzales]

Are we talking just being a playboy or other?

[chris_64]

All it tells me is that he makes poor life decisions and has poor taste in art.

Getting ink is one of the the biggest decisions a person can ever make in life. Buying a house, marrying, they are not as big, because you can actually move into a new house, or marry another person, but the ink is going to be on you for the rest of your life **

** Its actually not important at all, because the decision doesn’t effect anyone else one way or another.

[wannabe]

Well, for some people getting ink is a big decision, others not so much.

[Deckham]

Nothing else mattress.
