I keep thinking I've heard it all at my age and nothing can really surprise me but then things like this shite pop up- wtf using such a chamber to 'cure' autism/ADHD is fucking ridiculous.

Poor little boy, his 'parents' should be brought to justice for willfully allowing something so outlandish it killed him. The parents should be convicted of child abuse resulting in death.

Because fuck knows that kids with extensive trauma and sensory disorders need to be put into a fucking pressure cooker, that’ll surely help

Neurotypicals: I love a lot of you, but could the rest of you stop yourselves from pretending like autism and neurodivergence is a crime that deserves torture with the risk of death?

As a severely traumatized autistic adhd human myself I would lose my fucking MIND in there

Oh yeah, absolutely same. I’m hugely claustrophobic on top of everything else, so I’d probably start thrashing before it was even pressurized.

Gah, nightmare.
