I binge watched both seasons this weekend and I loved the first season, especially Dr. Heather Collins and Dr. Samira Mohan. But season 2 was a let down for me. All the characters that didn’t come back were black women. Dr Collins was written out and even the social worker and the medical director were written out. And then I watch a full season of an empathetic caring brown doctor be berated by her hypocritical boss only to find out she’s not coming back next season! Are you kidding me? Why is it that the only characters leaving the show are black and brown women? And how Robbie treated Dr Al-Hashimi was terrible. I guess I just came on here to rant, because ain’t no way I’d go to a sub of white people and subject myself to their racism.

Hello, my brother and I are both adults. He has a learning disability. He may also have autism, but he hasn’t been formally diagnosed yet.

I’m struggling because this weird thing happens where he doesn’t use critical thinking skills to solve problems. He was able to excel in college, but sometimes seemingly common sense situations stump him. This next example didn’t happen in exactly the way I’m about to describe here but it’s similar to our real situations.

Let’s say our mom asks my brother to go to the store and buy the ingredients for a new dish she’s making. He goes to the store without asking for a shopping list or even asking her what the ingredients are. He gets frustrated and calls me to ask what he should do. I think it’s obvious but I tell him he could either call mom and ask her for the list of ingredients since she’s the one cooking, or even look up what ingredients are usually used in this type of dish.

If he can’t find something in the store (say paprika), he’ll get stumped and give up. The next logical step would be to ask an employee where they stock the paprika. But he doesn’t think to do that. And then he gets frustrated when he can’t figure things out.

He will be able to explain every detail about the nba draft but can’t figure out how to complete a task.

He has a therapist but I don’t know what they talk about because he obviously isn’t obligated to tell me.

I hope this makes sense, but is there a way I can help him think more logically to figure things out? It may not be my place but I feel helpless doing nothing.
