I read a news story about a guy who died from rabies after receiving a kidney transplant. Although nobody was aware when he died, the donor of the kidney had contracted rabies after being scratched by a skunk several weeks before he died and his organs were harvested.
I got curious about how the donor got scratched by the skunk, but instead only found this article from August, which informed me that the U.S. has a rabies outbreak, and has more deaths from rabies in the last year than several previous years…
Not sure if people were already talking about this outbreak, and I just missed it? It’s been a bit of a weird year, and there’s been a lot of crazy shit to keep up with.
Anyway, this is also how I ended up reading the sentence informing me some people are worried dogs are getting autism from vaccines.
Outbreaks of rabies seem to be rising across the U.S., CDC surveillance shows
Genuinely what the fuck do they think a dog being autistic would look like
Love me some capy blapies! Truly the coolest rodent of all time. Except for my friend’s pet rats, those guys are the coolest if not a little too pee happy.
I mean, dogs and cats can have mental illnesses or disorders, it’s just that they tend to be less impactful due to them being, well, pets. They have no responsibilities
From what I know, they can have traits reminiscent of human autism
I had a cat that was clearly autistic.
I think that might be the default mode for cats.
What, how? They are very loving and emotional. The autistic people ive met are very intellectual and not very emotional… Very much living in their heads. But I have only met like… 3…or something. :)
But yeah, with my experience, I wouldnt put autistic people in the deep compassionate loving category. Maybe im wrong.
Just cause we don’t show it outwardly as often, doesn’t mean we autists aren’t very emotional. I think more so than most non autistic people. Remember it is a spectrum. For example I’m like gigantic and fairly well built (think Jason Witten but shaved head) and I’ll surprise (scare) some dates because I’m not afraid to cry on occasion. But it also may be my upbringing more than my diagnosis.
I need to meet more of you guys in my life. :)
We’re generally not “not very emotional” we just show it differently and less. But it could seem so if you can’t decipher the differentness.
Yeah another guy here said the same. Thank you!
“All Cats Are On The Autism Spectrum”
I imagine most golden retrievers I’ve just are a little autistic. It’s why they are so dopey.
Hell, with some dogs I’ve met, I would argue most dogs are autistic already😅
