A very cool thing happened. I got a screener for a film showing at Reel Abilities, the largest disability film festival in the world, so I could write about it. This is usually an impossible thing for me to ask for because screeners don’t often have audio description, the extra audio track that narrates visual details to blind people. But Reel Abilities actually has it, so here’s my review of one film showing at the festival. It’s quirky, funny, deeply humane, and a very good time, despite touching on subjects that can get pretty dark in less careful creative hands. https://deepsy.net/p/disability-reproduction-and-lone #Disability #Autism #Films #Movies #Neurodivergence

A movie review for the upcoming Reel Abilities Film Festival

The biggest problem for those with invisible disabilities is not to be believed. And because we aren't #believed, we aren't #trusted either.

This applies to all ND people, but also those with physical, but invisible, conditions, such as #MS, etc.

The article doesn’t wipe #trauma off the table, but accounts for the origins of #neurodivergence, about which I have wondered for a long time.

Importantly, the complexity-science approach makes room for what also has seemed obvious to me: neurodivergence is not a #pathology, but an advantage.

Less obvious to me but something emerging in my thinking about this is the need for neurodivergence-informed language and treatment approaches the same as we have trauma-informed awareness. 2/n 🧵

"Fulford stressed that it was wrong to make a general link between #autism & an increased #risk of a person becoming #violent... [Rudakubana's] worsening #behaviour - including a fascination with extreme #violence, appearing to condone #terrorists & expressing murderous thoughts about fellow #pupils & #teachers - were too frequently 'excused' by #professionals on the basis of his autism." #Neurodivergence DOESN'T make people violent!
Southport attack inquiry blames ‘catastrophic’ failures by agencies and killer’s ‘irresponsible’ parents

Official report says system ‘completely failed’ because some form of violence by Axel Rudakubana had been ‘unambiguously signposted over many years’
