Horrible, intentional way to misdiagnose autistic people (and other inconvenient minorities), strip them of their rights and not allow them to advocate for themselves.

This. And they're barely hiding their intention anymore. The poor science, the absolute stupidity of their claims - it feels like it's just a technicality for them. When it's clear what the end goal is.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

These are lovely! Great compositions. Long exposure is so much fun.

How much we've lost by allowing genAI (and crap CGI) into these most fundamentally human of pursuits.
The magic Bava made with forced perspective, matte painted backdrops and lighting... ooof.
Love the milk carton skyscrapers. Just so much fun.

Understand a woman?! In this economy?

And how that bias could justify what was often being pushed anyway - a focus on 'looking better' rather than 'feeling' better, especially wrt ND kids.

Recognizing that some OCD behaviours can be a stim in ND individuals was an early aha moment for me that made me realise - as an educator and clinician - how limiting and open to bias so many diagnostic tools were.

Such an important point.
Thank you for the note taking and sharing! Lots of food for thought.

Difference is almost always a more accurate word than deficit.

Exactly this. We don't have to pathologize every single 'unusual' thing that that gives kids comfort/joy (and isn't harmful!).

Ahhh what fun!

Heh. Their censorship has just made it more profound.

Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose! Jose Chung's From Outer Space! Remember those like it was yesterday. Some of the best episodes with amazing guest stars.

The podcast truly feels like home for the parts of your brain that haven't ever felt that.
They talk about AuDHD too - one of the hosts was going through the process of getting both her diagnoses last year.

Just wanted to mention ADHD Unpacked by Alex Connor & James Brown, as well as their excellent, fun, science backed podcast - The ADHD Adults Podcast.

Thank you!

These are so beautiful.

fucks me up that people are getting awards for a movie about hind rajab and her mother is still online begging for aid

Thank you!

NeuroTribes is so wonderful, inclusive and beautifully presented. It's the first book I recommend to parents of newly diagnosed autistic kids looking for reliable information. I've seen how it opens up the world for them in so many ways, instead of making it smaller and spikier.

Thank you so much!
