Without a causal link shown it’s just peer reviewed correlation. Yes, there are things to suggest it helps with mental health outcomes but as the paper says directly, this is not a proof and there are other factors at play.

I’m not a fan of scientific studies where correlation is all they can come up with. If correlation alone was what we went by then scientists could propose public policies to reintroduce maritime piracy to decrease global warming - they’re inversely correlated after all.

Your link is broken, here’s working one:

Importantly, puberty blocker prescription was associated with lower odds of mood disorder and suicidality diagnoses, but only among transgender youths. While this result should be studied further and interpreted with caution, it aligns with prior literature10,32,33 and clinical insights.34-36 More research is necessary to determine the mechanisms behind this association; although puberty blocker prescription appeared to attenuate both outcomes, it was not alone associated with diagnostic odds for transgender youths reduced to levels observed among their cisgender peers. Due to limitations of the administrative claims database being analyzed, we could not adjust for factors like psychosocial support, and policy environment measures (eg, regional and national transgender equality) did not appear to be associated with outcomes, although this may reflect measurement error (eg, scores were not available for the full study period or inconsistently measured from year to year).

No causal link demonstrated, potentially affected by other factors like how supportive your environment is.

I guess that’s where the resources are going now.

Does anyone here use Apple Maps? I started using it as part of diversification of services couple of years ago and it was mostly fine but I now wonder if anyone at Apple does.

Voice navigation in particular must have been switched to some LLM that was trained on data that didn’t contain enough of my language. Now Apple Maps calls a „rondo” (roundabout) a „rumdaboots”, usually surrounded by some rock eating noises. It also lost ability to pronounce most numbers over 10, especially if they’re written with diacritic signs but I guess they didn’t test if numbers work either. I was particularly confused when it pronounced „Robert Schumann street” as „Robert z humana street” (which translates to „Robert from humanities class”).

Came in here to recommend Towerfall. Played it with 6 people once - it’s a blast and scales well enough with high player counts.

Poland, medium sized city so there’s pretty much nothing I could do through public healthcare which is nonexistent outside of biggest agglomerations.

There’s plenty of places that will charge you upwards of hundreds if not thousands of euros for a couple of days of diagnosis „experience”, for lack of a better word. I just looked up a local psychologist who does ADOS-2 certified assessments and took the results to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me formally after 2 visits that consisted of chatting about various life difficulty things. Cost me something like €300 total to get the required documentation for disability.

Unfortunately autistic burnout isn’t a medically recognised condition so it’s not like you’re going to get real help with that anywhere really. Maybe in some Nordic countries it’s more civilised. As it is now you’ll be prescribed antidepressants and encouraged to do more physical exercise. Which sucks, because it’s a very real thing and requires you to take things easy for a long time. I had to change jobs because I couldn’t keep pace but realistically even if I crashed and burned nobody would care. It’s getting better now but I had to lean on my spinal injury to get longer medical leave when things got too tough.
