#trauma checklist

[brucewaynehater101]

I've been thinking about what each Batkid would score on the ACE (adverse childhood experiences) test.

It is a very shallow measurement of how fucked someone's childhood is. It isn't comprehensive and isn't eligible for comparing trauma. It's merely a list of shitty things that could happen to a kid (and there's no measurement for frequency or intensity). You can look into it more yourselves.

For scores, the higher the number, the worse it is. 10 is the max. The questions are about someone before they turn 18. For these questions, I included Bruce as one of their parents. I didn't include Barbara or Duke because I wasn't confident in their answers.

Alright. Here's the scores I got:

At the top of the list, we have Jason. He has 10/10 on the ACE test :)

Next up, Steph and Damian are tied at 9/10.

Cass and Tim are tied at 8/10.

Finally, we got Dick at 7/10.

I used the americanspcc.org questions for them. If you got different scores or have numbers for Barbara and Duke, feel free to respond.

#dc comics #dc universe #jason todd #steph brown #damian wayne #tim drake #cass wayne #dick grayson #trauma isn't a competition this was just me being curious about what scores they would get #having a higher or lower scores isn't synonymous with being more or less traumatized #all of the kids went through bad shit #just because someone has a lower score doesn't mean they had a better childhood #the ace test is more like a fucked up checklist than an actual trauma measurement

shaking crying throwing up because I know that I will never be able to make the edit of former robins grieving their idealism, set to Miley Cyrus’ “used to be young,” that I see in my dreams 😪

“I don’t dress the same”????

“I know I used to be crazy”?????

“You say I used to be wild/I say I used to be young”??

“THAT’S FINE, I’VE HAD A GOOD RUN”???????

I heard this in the car and was unable to have a single thought unrelated to Batman’s interactions with each of the Robins. I just sat there quietly, unable to cope. I am trying to be mature and move on from this, but I am not, nor have I ever been, mature when it comes to this lot

the urge to trauma dump on main

#i will NOT #but i made a joke about making a checklist of my trauma and using jeans trauma to check off the boxes and now 👀👀👀 #no i won’t #i can’t #that’s funny to me and only me #personal.txt

I'm NOT saying that Palpatine's autistic, but I do think it would be so easy to get the average therapist/psychiatrist to label him autistic (in that typical loving yet condescending tone 🥰)

T-Rex arms

Special interest: Sith & accumulating power/politics; doesn't show many interests beyond this and can spend most of his time intensely engaging in the interest, preferring it over social contacts etc.

Collects items related to special interest (Sith artifacts)

Once he's emperor, he doesn't appear much in public anymore, instead preferring to engage in his special interest (study the dark side)

Also, the comfy black robes. Bet there are no tags on that thing

Little to no emotional empathy (yes, no empathy autistics do still exist)

He does have cognitive empathy and social skills, but... "he must have taught himself and learned during his political training, he's so intelligent after all 🥰"

Little to no attachment to other human beings

He appears kind, so therapists would be biased ("this person can't have a personality or behavioral disorder, they complimented me and psychopaths aren't capable of being nice, while autistics are just loving angels by nature and incapable of deliberate harm 🥰")

Criminal behavior as a teen? Noooo he just didn't understand social rules and lacked theory of mind 🥰

He's single and has never had a steady romantic relationship, which "clearly points to social-communication problems". If you think this is ridiculous, that's only more of a sign that you don't understand how social structures work 🥰 Yes a psychiatrist said this to me

Exaggerated facial expressions

Lots of bright red in his apartment and office because of chronic understimulation

If you were to present these traits to therapists they would go oh I know what this is :D

In other words: sending Palps to therapy would not accomplish much and it wouldn't even be his fault lol

I don't have bad experiences with the mental health system what gave the impression

#as someone who got diagnosed with ASD within 15 minutes after a brief checklist this would be a very realistic scenario #therapist: 🥰 me: 🥲 #I might have a small therapy trauma I realize now #palpatine #sheev palpatine #darth sidious #sheevposting #autism #autism spectrum disorder #actually autistic #if I can get diagnosed that fast while meeting less than half of the criteria then Palpy would for sure get diagnosed #Palps has more autistic traits than I do #wouldn't mind claiming princess sheev as a 'tism icon though

no one:

me, doing small talk: haha did I ever tell you about that time my ex tried to kill me

#sometimes I talk about traumas with people and I'm like 'what the fuck was my life until now' #like I'm not even making things up to be a pick me but y'all you name it I probably have it in my trauma checklist

[quicktimeeventfull]

also anime!L and manga!L are also different characters, and lots of people (i am one of them) engage primarily with the manga, which throws an extra element into the whole concept of anime!L being canonically psychotic. it’s an interesting issue and to be like. 100% clear. i’m not actually suggesting people should do anything other than be aware of what history that scene is invoking when they engage with it.

#like i know people online & also in the world at large tend to take ‘this is problematic’ as ‘you should or shouldn’t do X’ #& that’s not what i mean at all #i don’t have any solutions or proposals i just like thinking about lit analysis u know #i think its important and i dont think its reducible to a checklist of Correct Actions #i had to do a whole course of wildly abelist seminars about mental illness in literature back in university #they were so awful that they sometimes randomly pop up in my mind #not like in a trauma way just in a like ‘what the actual hell was that’ way #so i think about this a lot

@talesimagination said: 2 for Dialga (I think he has a bag, if not, 1 is fine) *from Kuro*

>>From this meme

//Dialga actually does not have a bag, unless you count the occasional bag of poffins xD So pockets it is! He also did not start with pockets. That was something he added to his human guise's clothing after many visits to the mortal realm indicated it might be a useful thing to have. Enough people had given him things that it became a problem as he couldn't just pop back to his tower to drop them off without freaking out the people who didn't know who he really was. Luckily there was an easy solution. As for what's usually in said pockets, well you said 'from Kuro' so I'll give you something in character, as if Kuro had asked :)

     A pause as Dialga contemplates what could have prompted such an odd question. An answer does not come quickly enough to prevent awkwardness, so instead the Guardian of Time simply reaches into said pockets (one on each pant leg, emulating human clothing) and stiffly removes the contents to display in his hands; in one hand a small spiral notepad with an image of Palkia on the cover, and a black pen that clicks instead of a cap. In the other hand a business card for the Veilstone Department Store, and a small, clear gemstone he'd picked up from a shrine offering to him earlier today. As for the purpose of everything but the gem, Kuro is likely the only person he would ever admit this to...

     ❝My memory is not what it used to be.❞ When you are as old as time itself it becomes exeedingly easy to forget the insignificant happeninings of the mortal realm, gone in the blink of an eye as they often are, even if you did not intend to. The business card and gem are returned to their pocket, but the notepad in the other hand falls open. He tries to shut it but it only closes after stiff fingers fumble with it long enough for Kuro to glimpse awful handwriting in the form of a checklist. Several items are crossed out, the only ones left alone reading 'tak to Palkia abowt mownten' and 'repa Giratina'.      When he finally manages to get it closed it and the pen are swiftly returned to their respective pocket, no emotion on his face as if his clumsiness had not occurred. Don't you dare bring it up. ❝Does that sate your curiosity?❞

#talesimagination #{{ a message from afar | INBOX }} #{{ old myths and legends | HEADCANONS: DIALGA }} #{{ experiences in the mortal realm | THREADS: DIALGA }} #Dialga V { Main } a loaded god complex #//Left this as rebloggable and with thread tags if Kuro feels like responding. No obligation to though! ^v^ #//His checklist bits with proper spelling and grammar: 'Talk to Palkia about mountain' and 'Repay Giratina'. #//This is referring to the climax of Platinum. #//It's only thanks to Giratina that Dialga and Palkia weren't forced by Cyrus to reset the universe. #//He wants to talk about that trauma with Palkia but worries Palkia will think him lesser for being traumatized by it and so puts it off. #//Continuously. #//Repaying Giratina is that he hates being indebted to others & has yet to find a way to balance out that particular act of theirs. #//And yes when looking for a notepad he saw pokemon branded ones including him & his family & convinced someone to buy him the Palkia one. #//I imagine they were confused why an apparent Dialga fan (his clothing) wouldn't choose Dialga xD #//He will never tell Palkia about that. The embarrassment would kill him. #//The business card is because the basement level of the Veilstone Department Store has a shop that sells poffins. #//He usually goes to Hearthome with berries and attempts to make his own at the building for that. #//But sometimes if he acquires money (or flaunts his identity) he'll get better poffins from the shop.

Why self-diagnosed autistics are valid

medical diagnosis can be expensive

humans are the experts on their own minds

family may prevent assessment

diagnosis criteria is a poor checklist of stereotypes

diagnosis criteria ignores gender, race, sexuality, culture & more

medical diagnosis confirms autism, but doesn't create it

discrimination within the medical profession may prevent diagnosis.

Assessment waiting lists often long

medical trauma may make assessment unfeasible

#self diagnosis #why it’s valid #I find it perfectly acceptable with doing the correct research #the diagnosis process can be complicated and sometimes not a very pleasant experience #i honestly think I had ADHD too but I have no idea if I am #actually autistic #self diagnosed adhd #neurodivergence #neurodiversity #actually neurodivergent #feel free to share/reblog #Neurodiverse Journeys (Facebook) #autism awareness month #autism acceptence month

I really just get stuck on the fact that Gabriel killed Dean over and over, don’t I?

#oh well #it’s torture #but it’s played for laughs #and then Sam cries about being around Lucifer #it doesn’t even occur to him that Gabriel might represent this for dean #because we as children don’t see our parents fully as ppl for a long time #so deans trauma sometimes does not register outside if Sam talking the therapy talk #Sam’s empathy and sympathy can be very checklisted sometimes #and I love that about him let’s be clear #is awkward folk need checklists #but sometimes also a good kick to the head

You know, between the halfling nature, the overall trauma, and now a sword that detects specific kinds of creatures by glowing, Orym is slowly ticking off the Frodo Baggins checklist
