Quiz: Facebook Post or Cognitive and Social Disability. I was shocked by # 4. This will blow you away! I Cannot stop writing...help


Can you tell the difference between a Facebook trend and a Developmental Disability Symptom? I have worked as a Community Integration Assistant for people with cognitive disabilities and strangely I find Facebook to have most or all of their symptoms.  If Facebook was a consumer in a group home the caretaker would have his work cut out for him.


Facebook Trend Vs.   DD Symptom

1. The consumer will exhibit behaviors of inappropriate or outlandish actions to garner attention seeking behavior.  This is an attempt to get noticed and responded to by peers.



2.  The consumer will obsess repeatedly over a thought or an idea with the inability to stop perseverating.


3.  The consumer will be completely distracted by weird or peculiar details that should not be significant to society.


4.  Under great stress the consumer will protest with irrational claims and defenses that have no backing


5. In some cases the consumer will show signs of anti-social behavior to distance themselves from others



6. The consumer will sometimes have bipolar disorder that is extreme in both cases.



7.  The consumer will have an inability to share thoughts and ideas.   With poor motor controls they will not be able to be short and concise.




8.  And then there is confusion over what is real or fiction.
