The book focuses on school environments, practice & pedagogy & relationships. Throughout each chapter there is a shared understanding that neurodivergent voices & knowledge need to be central to how schools operate. If you're an education professional & committed to inclusion, this book is for you!

Learners deserve school systems that support all kinds of minds to flourish!

NEW PAPER (ish - I'm also just delayed) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Using Q Methodology, a Group of Neurodivergent Neurodiversity Researchers Ask: What is the Neurodiversity Movement and what should it do?

Also the first ever registered report published in @journalautism.bsky.social !!

Still (just) time to submit!

I started Weird Pride Day in 2021, but the roots of pride as a political tool go back through decades of the LGBTQ liberation movement, to Black power in the 1960s.

Weird Pride in particular is a concept that many people, from a variety of backgrounds, have arrived at independently.
