Marco stated that according to proponents of inclusion, children with dyslexia or ADHD could be discriminated against, automatically transferred to special schools, and not receive an appropriate education. He disagreed with this and wrote that children should not be broadly excluded from regular teaching if they can keep up, do not need assistance, and do not slow down others. He added that he himself has dyslexia and dysgraphia, did not need concessions or assistance while studying, and graduated from college. He suggested to people who want to achieve the same quality of education to work harder and not to force others to accommodate them. #inkluzivnívzdělávání #dyslexie #vzdělání (translated)

Joka kolmas vuonna 1997 syntynyt nainen on saanut Kelalta tukea mielenterveys- tai neurokirjon perusteella. Miehillä vastaava luku on alle puolet tästä. Ollaanko me nuoret naiset oikeasti sairaampia kuin koskaan, vai onko meille syötetty toimintamalli, joka ajaa pakan sekaisin? Mitä tapahtuu, kun: -Somerullaus silppuaa keskittymiskyvyn, ja jatkuvasta ylistimulaatiosta haetaan adhd-diagnoosia? -”Social contagion” tekee mielenterveys- ja neurokirjon oireilusta trendikkään identiteetin? -Jatkuva ”strong independent woman” -paine kieltää ajatuksen siitä, että nainen voisi kukoistaa parhaiten silloin, kun rinnalla on mies, joka kantaa vastuuta ja luo turvaa? Onko helpompaa ottaa lääkäriltä diagnoosi kuin kyseenalaistaa koko nykyinen elämäntapa? Ja pakko laittaa disclaimer loppuun vielä: En tietenkään tarkoita että kaikki diagnoosit olisivat perusteettomia, vaan haluan vain herättää naisia ajattelemaan että voisiko tässä olla muutakin takana😊 Kerro kommenteissa: Onko ihmisyydestä kadotettu jotain olennaista, vai diagnosoidaanko me vain normaalia uupumusta? 👇 #politiikka #suomi #feminismi #naiset #naiset #mielenterveys #feminismi

Interesting question: Could ADHD have evolved as an evolutionary advantage? People who screened positive for ADHD switched to exploration more quickly and, in this specific task, achieved greater reward-harvesting efficiency. They also abandoned less rewarding resource patches https://t.co/uRJVU5067p #ADHD #evolution #psychology #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
