So, let me explain: I’m from Slovenia and I was looking for some websites, to send to my grandma (who doesn’t speak english) to educate her about autism (sinced she claimed I have a learning disability, despite me being great at school). Here’s the link to the google search if you want to translate and read the results and I can’t find a single website with any decent information. Almost all claim autism is always commorbid with an intellectual disabillity, we still use Kanner’s profile of autism, Aspergers syndrome, etc. and of course ABA, diets, cures and the vaccine bullshit are often promoted. The serious problems start, when you notice, that the medical system is (at least from my experience) as terrible or even worse, than the websites. I probably already complained about having to go trough a lot of hoops (and bankrupcy in the process (yep, the joke is stupid)) to hopefully get the driver’s license next year. It’s probably best if I just make a list:
- first the medical exam (I was accused of having an Intellectual disability)
- Psychological exam (the psychologist didn’t respect my sensory needs by loudly talking on her phone (or purpusfully sabotaged me) and I failed a concentration test (wonder why) and reflexes (this one’s on me), but not the intelligence test(so I don’t have ID, wow we figured it out!))
- I have to forgo another PSYCH exam in a year and hopefully not fail
I will probably finish high school and university (at least that’s deacent here) and move to somethin like the UK, where I’ll probably at least have a right to go anywhere further, than the next village.
P.S: If anyone finds a decent slovene text about autism please post the link here.
Perhaps ChatGPT could translate a good article from English? I’m not bilingual myself, but I know people who’ve done translations and were reasonably pleased. It claims to be able to translate to Slovene, but sometimes AI lies.
You can’t rely on LLMs for things like medical translations. It might inject the random bullshit in
My expectations is that the AI could do the bulk of the work and OP whom I assume reads both, can look it over and fix any issues.
AI shouldn’t be relied on to do anything on its own. It must always be supervised and double checked.
Well, at school, we learned this when some of my schoolmates failed a report which started something like: ‘Picasso was a plummer…’.
Thanks, now the only problem is explaining my grandma, how LLMs work. Still easier, than to protect her from disinformation or explain it normally.
We had a similar situation here in Poland in the 00’s and the early 10’s. I was a kid then so i don’t remember any of the bureaucracy but i do remember having to go to a bunch of doctors to finally get an reluctant aspergers syndrome diagnosis.
Well, I heard a lot of bad things about Poland (especially about LGBTQIA+ rights), so I could assume, it also applies to autistics. I’m curious (not gay /j), are there any problems you face because of your diagnosis?
I cant say i have. other than being the weird outcast kid in school, That’s a universal thing i imagine. I have not yet entered the workforce so i don’t know the situation there.
Well, if you don’t need a medical exam to get the job you’re probably fine.
Well, I was never an outcast at school. In primary school, I was a very charismatic person (I’m terrible in that department now), was usually nice to everybody, while still not masking many of my autistic traits (The only threat were the teachers, as I never took anything seriously, but could still get away with it by having good grades). In high school, half of the class likes me and the other half hates me (like in the p2w mobile game CoC, you can’t be in both clans) and I’m on decent terms with the professors.
Well, that’s probably the longest text I’ve written in a long time (and probably nobody (including me) actually cares about it).
