Dr Chris Moore

Incredible glossary and image from @stimpunks.org and @autisticrealms.bsky.social. A must-read for anyone wanting to know more about monotropism.

These are lovely books from @drlisacherry.bsky.social which showcase the power of relationships.

This is an excellent ebook with contributions from a range of neurodivergent affirming practitioners.

Lots of people follow me for my work as a clinical psychologist and my work in the field of trauma, organisational culture & direct work tools but my other huge love and passion is art. It’s where I get into my best flow state. You can follow my art on instagram under enrichedtexturebykiki

Ok so I've put together a (currently small) starter pack of people with an interest/investment in #disability in #UKHE, including disabled students and staff. Tied my brain in knots about adding people without consent, so please please let me know if you want adding! go.bsky.app/SzRGzk4

I'm interested in learning more about people's impressions of #autism coverage on #Wikipedia. I'd be grateful if you could fill in this anonymous survey, preferably without looking it up in response to this post!

To my colleagues in education. Here's your annual reminder of how we're all tired at the same time (unlike in most other jobs), which can make everything feel tough. Honest communication, plenty of appreciation in every direction and kindness (to self and others) recommended.

Lots of resources for #WorldMentalHealthDay in this toolkit from @edsupportuk.bsky.social

“Common educational themes reported by families include the misinterpretation of the root causes of the needs of their child, inappropriate support, a narrative of blame, school attendance pressures and confusion caused by a lack of a diagnosis”

A really helpful thread from @neurofabulous.bsky.social which challenges our thinking about groups. When we don’t embrace differences & preferences, even with good intentions, we risk treating everyone the same & not making crucial accommodations & adjustments for individual needs. #EduSky #EdPsychs

“You cannot speed up child development, it has its own pace and every child is unique. Practising skills such as sitting still before a child is ready to do so, is as futile as making a baby practise walking before they are ready”

#EduSky #EdPsychs

“The autistic facilitator was felt to be more tolerant and understanding, and provided a positive role model for participants who had recently been diagnosed”

Findings on autistic adults’ preferences for autistic-led and peer-focused post diagnostic support.

“They also need to know that it’s okay to have their ‘snack’ activities WHENEVER they need it. If a child is struggling with noise, then telling them to wait for their headphones isn’t going to help them”

Helpful article from @lynnmccann.bsky.social about sensory diets. #EduSky

Self-Care September Daily actions to help you take care of yourself so you can take care of others.

Today is feeling like a Monday kind of a Monday. So here's some action for happiness to bat those foggy blues away!

It’s so important to be open minded about how stress manifests. We focus a lot on fight and flight. But it can also present as quiet, withdrawn, rigid, and compulsively compliant. “Good behaviour” doesn’t always mean feeling good on the inside. #EdPsychs

I’ve never been comfortable with the term “expert”. It immediately creates a power imbalance, risks a focus on telling instead of listening, and it can be used by others to delay or sidestep their own responsibilities.

Helpful reminder that our window of tolerance for stress and our ability to cope with demands fluctuates every day and throughout the day. Something that is easy and straightforward on one day can feel exhausting and overwhelming on another. The same applies to the kids you teach. #EduSky #EdPsychs

Practical ideas from @positive-y-mind.bsky.social about making accommodations for dyslexic pupils #EduSky

“It’s not just about throwing more money at the system. It’s about structuring it in ways that truly include children, ensuring they belong and are supported in every facet of their lives”

Nice blog from @phoenixedsarah.bsky.social reflecting on the recent #SEND debate. #EduSky

This is a great initiative from @edpsy.bsky.social for #EdPsychs to share their research after all the hard work they put in.

Children in care made to pack up their lives in bin bags Campaign to stop young children in care having to pack up their lives in bin bags

The campaign by Madlug - www.madlug.com - is so important in preventing this horrible reality for care experienced children. With every bag you buy, a pack-away travel bag goes to a child in care. #EduSky #EdPsychs
