I appreciate the efforts he made in his life and I will for sure check out the Neo-Freudians, I might also be looking for a biography of his life and work just out of my interest for him.
I am working on trying to be less reliant on social media and reddit was a source of a lot of topics and things to dive into, I really miss reading so much so I am going back to books now that I have the free time. I have a really good base knowledge that I want to expand, and I find myself missing my textbooks but not the courses...

One of my biggest findings over time has been that information on the human mind is always in flux, and my interest in Freud is more so on him as a person and how he created some of the foundations for "Today's Psychology". I don't think he is at all a good person to use to learn about when it comes to current knowledge at all, he seemed a little out there himself.
I have been doing a lot of learning on cognitive bias and how to identify it as well and while I am not fully confident in my abilities to recognize them all, I am confident in my inquisitive nature and absolutely adore differing approaches and opinions as you can't really apply a singular logic to human emotions. I have seen a lot of articles that report results based on small sample sizes, or incredibly preliminary findings that really should be taken with a grain of salt until they are further verified.
I am actually a data analyst and I did 3.5yrs of a 4 year psych degree until I burned out and switched careers, but until that point I even liked reading the DSM-5 and learning about different kinds of mental illnesses, I never completed it though. I really like insights on the pathology and treatment of more complicated disorders such as personality disorders of all types, and I have a fascination with the history of treating mental health issues and have been reading about the Stanford prison experiment recently.
I have really wanted to find some books on ASD as someone recently diagnosed as high functioning autistic at 27yo, so I am going to look at the titles you listed. I really do appreciate the insight and thanks!

Hi everyone :) I am pretty obsessed with consuming information as someone with ASD, and one of my preferred topics to really dive into is Psychology, Philosophy, and Business ethics that can relate to the other 2 topics. I generally read a lot of articles, journals, and studies, but I have found myself really wanting to dive back into the course topics that I was learning about in college before I dropped out, as I don't do well in structured school settings.
I have been re-visiting a lot of Freud's work and other basic course stuff, but I do love more advanced topics that make me connect the dots between my personal studies and my schooling, so honestly just drop some titles for anything nonfiction and not as self help directed and I will check it out.
Thanks guys :)

Comment on Some general advice for all the new Tildes users in ~tildes
kuro_miko Link ParentHonestly as a long time reddit addict, I have waited and withheld comments (literally my first) until I have adjusted to the differences here because it is just so much friendlier and productive...Honestly as a long time reddit addict, I have waited and withheld comments (literally my first) until I have adjusted to the differences here because it is just so much friendlier and productive overall. Yes, I miss vegetating to pointless memes sometimes... But I also have made a strong point to expand my intelligence emotionally and mentally as much as I can in life and this is a great practice of reflection on bad habits and learning new ways to enjoy the internet. The world can be a very chaotic place for many of us and it is so vital to have an escape from that and to not bring every aspect of living into that chaos. There are so many things to appreciate about the atmosphere created here, and I think a lot of people are torn between standing up for their personal values and boycotting reddit, but being in limbo and not knowing where to go now. It is literally a grieving period and unfortunately some new users will learn the hard way that Tildes is not going to change just to make that process easier on them, there are plenty of places for aggressive emotions elsewhere on the internet.
Honestly I don't know who to believe with the presented info. It seems like neither parent is to be trusted but the father clearly is prone to episodes of violence in physical and sexual ways and it could be directed to the kid, but the mom is also hyper vigilant now and will report ANY bruise or bump as abuse and it may truly be an injury. This is a horrible situation for the boy and I only hope he gets the help he needs as time goes on because it seems like the system has failed him in one way or another and it breaks my heart to know he will likely have lasting trauma from this even if this is a case of he said she said.
