I'm an LPC and I feel like I should be able to diagnose Autism spectrum disorders just like I can in an office setting.
Edit: Report this post for trolling now. My next session is here so I'm not bored anymore and Rito doesn't have a delete thread button for the OP. I had my fun.
mccoll3 votesReal psychologists have a Phd .
Maximum Morde1 votesA Masters level professional degree is adequate for diagnosis in most cases, and for certain health care professionals like Nurse Practicioners, the prescription of medication as well.
mccoll1 votesNo, real doctors who diagnose diseases and other other such adversities don't have master's degree. Now why would you let a 5 year degree be able fuck with peoples minds, when A REAL DOCTOR spends 10 years of his life to diagnose any other disorder or diseases in every other part of the body, including INCLUDING THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. I call bullshit on anyone with a masters in psychology or less. The department of labor agrees with me . THEY ARE JUST COUNSELORS, THATS IT.
Maximum Morde1 votesCool story, they are still able to issue a legally valid diagnosis. Please become better informed. If you hold some magic reverence of PhD holders, clearly you haven't met enough of them. Many, many idiots have been issued a PhD that defies all logic if you actually knew how stupid the person is, especially in the social sciences and psychology.
Just like you have folks that have been playing League for years and years and are still Bronze, you have PhDs that boggle the mind.
Nahui2 votesLol no. That's just you be condescending because of a degree you earned just to insult people. You can't diagnose someone over a game. Especially not one round.
Maximum Morde1 votesIf I can diagnose over Skype, why not League?
Nahui3 votesBecause Skype is voice interaction where you can judge based off of tone in context. You can detect emotions.
Chat is emotionless. It is only given subjective emotion by the reader. A self-fulfilling prophecy would lead you to a bias against those you "want" to have some sort of disorder. It's a video game, played in short 20-60 minute increments. Autism is not something that simply can be determined in such a short session, especially over emotionless chat. Perhaps you could diagnose it over a long series of games, but not one game.
Strike that. You can diagnose people. So can I. I can tell people their mothers are dead when in reality they could just be in the other room. You can do anything. It does not make your diagnosis valid. Remember that being certified in something does not mean diagnosis is valid. You can think that maybe they have a disorder, which is fine. Opinion entitlement is perfectly okay. But, bringing it up in game is just a passive aggressive move.
You can deny it under the guise of helping people, and perhaps you truly believe that, but it is passive aggressive. Rather than lashing back out against toxicity, which is what I assume this is for, you are sugar coating it by "helping them" by saying "Oh, you are autistic and this is how."
The fact that anonymity exists makes it so that the "personality" conveyed in this short 30 minute average session is rather artificial. At best, you'd be diagnosing a false persona.
Just hit the mute button and play lol.
disregardable1 votesI wouldn't be shocked if Riot banned you for hate speech tbh.
Maximum Morde1 votesLegally valid mental health diagnosis isn't hate speech. How can people get the help they need if they don't know what their issues are? I just want to see everyone suceed.
Quite frankly I find your attitude incredibly insensitive to all the people who are actually Autistic, the vast majority of whom are functioning members of society who just needed a little assistance to identify and learn to work around a few issues.
J E B A ł T E D1 votesStop trying to be manipulative, lmao
disregardable1 votes{quoted} On your account, it's noted that you consistently call players "retards," "bitches," "morons," "shit," and use derogatory terms against other players like referring to them as "autistic."
It's Riot's choice, not mine.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesWell, to be fair, there is a complete difference between talking about diagnosing autism compared to calling someone autistic in a derogatory way because you're angry at them. OP is talking about diagnosing autistic, which isn't exactly the same thing as what you quoted.
That being said, OP is dumb dumb and is not doing anything close to what he is claiming. Probably why he is only a LPC and most likely works for a high school.
CoolMike1271 votesWhoa, that's taking things a tad too far... being verbally offensive isn't the way to help people get better.
Maximum Morde1 votesIf a legally valid diagnosis is verbally offensive, then how are people ever going to get the help they need?
J E B A ł T E D2 voteslmao you should diagnose yourself first. You don't just tell people this shit and expect them to take it lightly or non offending. How many times have you been banned? Be honest.
Assuming you are even a legit counselor, all of your patients came to you because either them or their family members were concerned about their mental health. You don't go to them. You just don't. And this is what you're doing with it? Talk about a license being held in the wrong hands.
Maximum Morde1 votesI suffer from mild narcissistic personality disorder and OCD. I have never been banned and only chat restricted once about 2-3 years ago. Well, as long as we aren't counting games other than League. If we are, I've been banned a few dozen times for various offenses ranging from spamming F Yo Couch in Iron forge on an RP server, to hacking and botting in MWO, to team killing in CSGO, etc, the list goes on. But I'm well behaved in League for 3 years now.
CoolMike1271 votes[zombie-brand-facepalm]
McAnnex1 votesYou don't strike me as a legitimate medical professional.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesProbably because he isn't lmfao. Not too mention that lpc is a fancy way of saying "I work as a high school guidance counselor."
Curious Kat1 votesIt's just a troll dudes, ignore it, you are feeding it more and encouraging it while it's bored.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesLMFAO, dude is a guidance counselor with a superiority complex xD
Maximum Morde1 votesI only counsel children now though. I couldn't stand the idiocy of adults who should have known better and just need to stop doing the things that they have done before that always led to bad outcomes. Now the only adults I deal with are the parents of the kids. Even that is bad enough.
Young kids, I can work with though. They don't know any better and their innocence is a precious quality. They truly see the world through an amazing lens.
PDE5 Inhib1 votesI couldn't stand the idiocy of adults who should have known better and just need to stop doing the things that they have done before that always led to bad outcomes.
On other words, "This statement perfectly sums up why I have a masters and not a PhD."
Maximum Morde1 votesPossibly. It could also have been that I was enrolled as a non degree seeking graduate student, took ~70hrs of classes, but didn't want to bother going through the hassle of writing a dissertation and defending it when it wouldn't have made a difference to me or my business. Credits aren't expired, I could always go back and do it within the next three or four years. Most likely won't. I detest writing. Barely forced myself to complete my Masters Thesis, and that was only because without it I wouldn't have been able to run my own practice.
I'd say the biggest reason is that I don't have the drive to do what a PhD is really supposed to do, research and publication. It doesn't interest me at all. And I damn sure don't want to be a professor. I can't stand campus politics.
If I were to break it down, PhDs produce research, Masters consume and apply that research in a practical fashion.
It's also possible that I'm just a flaky person who gets distracted and loses interest easily so only rarely finishes what they start. That's the more likely answer. I switched degrees about 6 times before I finally ran out of money and had to finish something.
