people described as "special needs" are more regularly passed up for jobs than people described as "disabled"

for a moment mom started using "disabled" instead at my request

she's reverted to "special needs"

my mom doesn’t beat around the bush and just explicitly mentions the disabilities by name

It was more shown in an experiment where participants were asked to rate whether they would hire someone based on whether they were not told they were disabled, told they were disabled, told they were blind, or told they were special needs. The special needs group was consistently least likely to be hired across all age groups.

I think Mom uses it because of the autistic Mom group she is with. Two of them refer to their kids as "special needs" instead of autistic, and they once invited us to a Christian prom night for special needs kids where the parents could watch them dance. We declined partly because of the terminology they used.

[up][up] I think this might be my first case of using the Political Correctness Gone Mad trope, but that kind of bullshit is what exactly I'd HATE to see.

Calling needs special is kind of offensive.

If you need a wheelchair to move around, that isn't a special need. It's as much a need as love, social interaction, food, water, shelter, and privacy.

Every single time I read Chapter 70 I cry at the fact Wukong killed the little demon.

Frick you, Wukong, he was a good boy.

And the freaking translation I'm reading called him Gocome.

What kind of horrible name is Gocome.

His name is "Can go, Can Return".

Wait, did they just translate the cave as Horndog Cave? What in the frick?!?

Do you know what the OG text says? XIEZHI CAVE. Xiezhi are mystical beasts, and that translation has made it horrible.

A square-shaped Enix creature - No, not that. They made a game known as Life is Strange and it got majorly popular.

Also a certain video game franchise that just so happens to share its initials with that of Mc Donald's' most popular item.

It was known for such villains as Sephiroth, Kefka, and Exdeath.

...Exdeath? Seriously?
