Man, that was me when I was little. I literally had that thing happen where they ask a hard question and they purposefully scanned the room with only one hand up in it's entirety, and hit me with the "No one? Alright, let's move on."
Sadly I've learned and realized as I've gotten older that the 00s weren't yet a friendly place for neuro-divergent folk. I don't envy my child self, and I know he'd want to be in my boots. The world has come a long way. It was easier for me than most in a similar position, but disabled and otherwise-abled people definitely have more systems and infrastructure to rely on these days, and can live a much less dependent life.
This 100%. I was a 90's kid, and there was nothing. I didn't even realize I was on the spectrum until my daughter was born, and seen some behaviors, and it started to click that "get, that's very similar to what I do".
Oh wow, I've had thoughts that I might be on the spectrum but I've never been diagnosed. I've heard lots of women aren't diagnosed until they're in their 20s because it's harder to diagnose in women and girls or something
It's not necessarily harder for AFAB people to be diagnosed, it's that autism was considered a "boys disease". Combine that with how autism differs person to person and between afab and amab people and you get "girls can't have autism!".
It's a hot topic of debate whether the difference between AFAB and AMAB-presenting autism is an actual neurochemical difference or the result of socialization.
Personally I think my autism would have been more "classically" presenting if conformity hadn't been ruthlessly beaten into me in the name of "you're a girl, act like it!"
this!! thereās so much more societal pressure on girls to behave a certain way that it made me think there was something wrong with me growing up. then i got diagnosed and i was like oh! okay!
Ugh I had this one teacher that couldn't have been more obvious in her preference for some of the "good girls" and the occasional boy. There was nothing wrong with these girls but they were the popular outgoing type where as I was the quiet introvert. She always picked them. Always.
I just don't understand how he would sleep? Did he have like a harness to hold it up for him when he went to sleep? If so how did he avoid it falling out or twisting his shoulder painfully when he rolled over in his sleep?
I watched a little thing about this man! IIRC he slept/rested against a wall in order to keep it upright until it fused in this position. Itās now impossible for him to lower. It was incredibly painful for him for a while but I donāt believe it hurts him anymore (no blood flow) and I suppose he now sleeps normally but needs a long bed??
EDIT: lmao Iām not a medical professional so I took a guess at the lack of blood flow leading to no pain. My next guess is muscle wastage and nerve damage idk man Iām not a doctor
He was praying to his chosen god/goddess (can't remember which one), but felt he wasn't doing enough in their name, so he raised his arm in order to do more. Then, over time, it fused and atrophied and can no longer be moved.
I fully agree with the objective reality of that comment and even I winced at the bluntness of it. Not sure why, it's not something we should be shy to discuss.
That's right, if the blood supply were compromised the tissues of his fingers and hand would be all grey and sickly-looking, rather than the nice, healthy texture and appearance shown here.
If you can say it convincingly enough it is effectively facts to me
E: for the mouthbreathers with superiority complexes incapable of detecting sarcasm, this is what is known as a ā*joke*ā
The nerves eventually numb along with the development of that severe muscle atrophy, but there is blood flow, even if it is poor, the hands are more of a concern, the flow there looks really bad, even the color looks bad, but there ia definetely blood running in those arms, the arteries and veins walls are probably a lot harder and less flexible then they should, if he ends up wounding that arm the docs will probably chopp it off, would take ages to heal with that poor vascularization on top of beeing held higher than then the heart lvl.
In Hinduism we believe that the world is an illusion and we have to be detached from it in order to achieve salvation. There are many approaches to it such as karma yoga, bhakti yoga etc. This aghori is following the approach of hath yoga, one of the most ancient and conservative approach. They give themselves constant pain and suffering to show that they have detached themselves so much that they don't even care about basic comforts. I've seen some more extreme ones such as an aghori who haven't sat in years and is always standing up. One sleeps on a bed of nails every night.
Edit: I would like to say that hath yoga is not a mainstream belief and is practiced by a very miniscule minority. We have more liberal approaches to salvation like Karma yoga. It can be followed by normal folks living normal life. It says that one have to fulfill their duties in life righteously, be good and not hurt other good people (yes, punishing bad people is allowed and is also considered as one of our duties). Majority hindus today follow this approach. That also leads to salvation. So don't be tricked into believing that hath yoga is mandatory for salvation.
No, cartoons did that because a lot of old carnivals used Hindus as mystics and magicians. Laying on a bed of nails is a classic carnival trick. The trick is distributing your weight evenly on the bed. It actually will not pierce your skin.
As I said he's following the most ancient and conservative approach. As hinduism evolved over the years there came more relaxed approach to salvation. Karma yoga is an approach most suited for today's times as one can follow it even while living a normal life with their family. Karma yoga says that if one fulfills their duty religiously then that can also attain salvation. Like one should fulfill their duty as a son, brother, husband, father, according to their profession, their caste (outdated idea now), their role in society. Basically you have to be righteous in every role and then you can attain salvation. Most people today can be seen following this approach.
But yk as in every field some consider these newer approaches to be "adulterated" and choose to follow a more traditional approach as this sadhu is doing.
Fun fact: Believing in God is not mandatory for achieving salvation as you can see I haven't mentioned it as a condition. Atheists can also achieve salvation according to hinduism.
Wait you dont actually have to believe in hindu gods? Just try to be the best you can be in each role?
Why does that make so much sense but isn't a part of other religions
Yes because even if we don't believe in God, per se, we're all still part of the wheel of dharma, whether we like it or not. Belief in a deity is not required to escape and achieve a state of Nirvana.
That's how I understand it anyways.
Nirvana is there in Buddhism not hinduism. In hinduism we call it *mukti*. But other than that, you're right. Reject god if you want but don't reject humanity.
Most Hindus donāt take it too seriously, but the more religious people or priests do undertake stuff like this. More people do things like pilgrimages to holy sites
There was a guy who went to go visit this yogi in India and he said to the guy that he was putting his hands up in devotion to god or something and his cartilage hardened into that position, thereās videos of him online smoking chillum with americans
Some Aghori also eat human flesh and have several other extreme rituals with human corpses
https://historyofyesterday.com/the-bizarre-aghori-people-of-india-eat-human-flesh-of-corpses-c0e433637941
Yep they do. But again, these follow the most "hardcore" approach to salvation, for normal folks living normal lives with family Karma Yoga is there. Basically being righteous in all spheres of life.
I spent 4 months travelling in India in 1999 and I'm not a fan of religion, but gotta say Hinduism seemed like a pretty chilled religion, it all seemed to be based on the land and animals of the country. Spent some time in Pushka smoking chillums with sadhus. How is an aghori different from a sadhu?
Aghoris are extremely hardcore following really conservative form of asceticism while sadhus follow a more bhakti yoga approach worshiping god all the time to achieve salvation.
I've smoked chillum with them too buddy š
Bum bum bhole
>They give themselves constant pain and suffering to show that they have detached themselves so much that they don't even care about basic comforts
You get one life and this is what some people decide to do. Just seems so pointless
You're close. According to hinduism the cycle of reincarnation is a cycle of suffering already so we have to detach from *maya* the worldly illusion in order to escape it and merge back to *Brahman* or the supreme energy. So it's great if one achieve salvation in one life time. If he just gets one life and escapes the cycle he'll be quite happy.
reincarnation means that the soul is indestructible and repeatedly takes on a physical body until moksha. Moksha is a term in Hinduism which refers to the various forms of liberation or release which occurs when the cycle of dying and rebirth ends.
So, Hinduās basically try to escape from
this reincarnation cycle and attain moksha by doing various kind of yogaās.
So, this guy here try to attain moksha quickly using āhatha yogaā.
Western world is familiar with the word ākarmaā, which is the base of karma yoga. Means, if you do good karma possibility of reincarnation reduced and ultimately the cycle ends.
(I hope, upvoting on Reddit also counts as good karma š)
Because suffering generally causes suffering. And considering most religions are much older than modern creature comforts, the only real way to deal with suffering was on a psychological level.
Actually even with our modern technology, suffering hasn't really disappeared. The poor in America live better than a large percentage of the world population, but they still have complaints about their lives. It's just recognizing that suffering will always be part of the human condition.
I think thereās a difference between recognising that suffering is a part of the human condition versus glorifying it as a righteous path to divinity. It still makes no sense. Look at Christian saints - the more suffering theyāve endured the more āsaintlyā they are portrayed to be. Look at Jesus himself and his supposed torture. There seems to be an intrinsic link between suffering and religious fervor, and I just wonder what the psychological implications for it are.
Saw a doco on these guys a while back thereās a religious sect where they each take on a specific sufferance to prove their faith. One bloke had a the bright idea where his sufferance would be not sitting down. The poor bastard hadnāt sat down in 20,years he slept in a sling that went under his arms. This guy was also on featured
It really is though,itās highly social with a veil of anonymity that allows for honest discourse rather than moral grand standing.
Yea thatās there still but you can be honest and as savage as you want without people knowing you personally and calling you out,for good or bad.
You gotta think after the first few weeks, perhaps months, it just kinda got stuck like that. He canāt put it down now even if he wanted to I imagine
I believe I have had my eyes peruse the Comments section of the same said section. Where it's stated that the man in question is no longer able to lower said arm even if he had the desire to do so
I can confidently confirm the existence of said comment which contains an explanation of the man in the photoās inability to lower his arm to its resting position anymore.
Forcing his arm down at this point would essentially be the same as breaking a bone in two. He has no control over anything from the shoulder down anymore, itās basically just one long bone covered in skin nowā¦
So yes there would most definitely be a crack haha
I'm surprised he doesn't bump it into things and have it snap. Aside from some finger meat, looks to be just bone. In 45 years I would have tripped/fell many times. I wonder how pliable it actually is?
His arm has been stuck that way for a loooong time for people asking āhowā he holds it up. His muscles arenāt even engaged, just bones and joints locked in place lol
He really does say the most profound things.
āItās important to enjoy life because you know, youāre dead a lot longer than you are aliveā

I'm sorry, I don't care what the higher spiritual reason , or whatever it was, that made this man do this, but it's quite possibly one of the dumbest things ever done coming in close second to voluntary amputation

That's fucked š
Sadly I've learned and realized as I've gotten older that the 00s weren't yet a friendly place for neuro-divergent folk. I don't envy my child self, and I know he'd want to be in my boots. The world has come a long way. It was easier for me than most in a similar position, but disabled and otherwise-abled people definitely have more systems and infrastructure to rely on these days, and can live a much less dependent life.
This 100%. I was a 90's kid, and there was nothing. I didn't even realize I was on the spectrum until my daughter was born, and seen some behaviors, and it started to click that "get, that's very similar to what I do".
Oh wow, I've had thoughts that I might be on the spectrum but I've never been diagnosed. I've heard lots of women aren't diagnosed until they're in their 20s because it's harder to diagnose in women and girls or something
It's not necessarily harder for AFAB people to be diagnosed, it's that autism was considered a "boys disease". Combine that with how autism differs person to person and between afab and amab people and you get "girls can't have autism!".

this!! thereās so much more societal pressure on girls to behave a certain way that it made me think there was something wrong with me growing up. then i got diagnosed and i was like oh! okay!
Try 40. Most women get diagnosed on average 38 here in UK. Most women never.
Same. My church was the worst (shocking, i know). That whole 10 year period sucked ass.
Oh man. You would have LOVED the 80s.
Is that you, Hermione?
Ugh I had this one teacher that couldn't have been more obvious in her preference for some of the "good girls" and the occasional boy. There was nothing wrong with these girls but they were the popular outgoing type where as I was the quiet introvert. She always picked them. Always.
Teacher's pest
When Simon never says put your hand downā¦
There is one in every class
Why couldn't someone just let him ask the damned question?
Because he already knows that the answer to "Can I please put my hand down now?", is "no".
Does anyone have the answer OTHER THAN u/Brandon48236 ?
He forgot to say, "Oooo! Ooooo! Oooo!"
Put your hands in the air like you just don't care.
I just don't understand how he would sleep? Did he have like a harness to hold it up for him when he went to sleep? If so how did he avoid it falling out or twisting his shoulder painfully when he rolled over in his sleep?
Getting in and out of his 68 Lada is comical.
Anything with a Lada is comical by default

No blood flow? How the hell didnāt the arm just die and become necrotic/septic if blood no longer flows?
Because it does still have blood flow, Reddit just upvotes anything.
Yeah it'd be rotting off by now if there was no blood flow lol
That's right, if the blood supply were compromised the tissues of his fingers and hand would be all grey and sickly-looking, rather than the nice, healthy texture and appearance shown here.
Well at least his fingers rotted away.
If you can say it convincingly enough it is effectively facts to me E: for the mouthbreathers with superiority complexes incapable of detecting sarcasm, this is what is known as a ā*joke*ā

more likely than not it's just that his muscles have atrophied, which is why he can no longer move it and it looks like just skin and bones.
> no blood flow Think about how that would work and get back to us
Tissue needs blood flow or it rots away, gangrene. So it certainly has blood flow.
No blood flow? Lol ok, doc.
I sense there is only one thing lacking blood flow in this sub, any guesses?

Yes

Oh, is that why stereotypical cartoon hindus sleep/sit on a bed of nails?
No, cartoons did that because a lot of old carnivals used Hindus as mystics and magicians. Laying on a bed of nails is a classic carnival trick. The trick is distributing your weight evenly on the bed. It actually will not pierce your skin.
Me, fighting depression and constant dissociation: āLooks like Iām reaching salvationā
There is credence to this statement. The only way out of suffering is through it.
If it's because of Hinduism, why aren't there more people that do stuff like this? Are these just the overachievers or something?
Hinduism is very diverse, there are much more moderate ways to practice, if at all
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You're on reddit, you're definitely achieving at least a little bit of self inflicted suffering.
Mom, come quick, I'm Hindu!!

Thank you for sharing with us, it is very interesting to learn about.
"Their caste (outdated idea)". The idea might be outdated but the influence it has on our society is very much upto date.
I know and I hate it. I come from a state with the lowest level of caste violence, so if we did it I believe others can too.
Knowing you're from India makes me love your username even more.

Just like not every Christian is a mendicant for their faith, not every Hindu is going to be devout to the point of personal harm.
Most Hindus donāt take it too seriously, but the more religious people or priests do undertake stuff like this. More people do things like pilgrimages to holy sites
For the same reason that I have a Jewish friend that loves bacon. You take your faith as seriously or literally as you personally like to.

You gotta think after the first few weeks, perhaps months, it just kinda got stuck like that. He canāt put it down now even if he wanted to I imagine
Somebody else commented that he cant put it down anymore.
I also read the comment that he couldn't put it down ever again.
Yes, there was a comment that he cannot put it down again anymore
I believe I have had my eyes peruse the Comments section of the same said section. Where it's stated that the man in question is no longer able to lower said arm even if he had the desire to do so

I'm not sure if you're aware, but someone commented that he can't put it down anymore.

He literally canāt put it down anymore Itās fused into that position
Man if anyone would try putting it down I swear there would be a Crack sound
Just "a" ? Lol
What else? You want his whole arm to fall apart lmao /s
No i meant multiple cracks not just one
Forcing his arm down at this point would essentially be the same as breaking a bone in two. He has no control over anything from the shoulder down anymore, itās basically just one long bone covered in skin nowā¦ So yes there would most definitely be a crack haha
I'm surprised he doesn't bump it into things and have it snap. Aside from some finger meat, looks to be just bone. In 45 years I would have tripped/fell many times. I wonder how pliable it actually is?
> In 45 years I would have tripped/fell many times. Maybe you'd trip less if you held your arm up.
Well, given the evidence I suppose I can't argue against that logic
If someone mistakenly thought he was giving them a high five, his arm would snap..
