I don't know how to develop trust with someone if I don't understand why they do what they do. This is probably why I have such a hard time trusting neurotypical individuals.

The same applies when hurt happens. I need to understand the why behind the hurt to reestablish trust.

The sad truth is that - for whatever reason - many folks are not willing to explain their actions. My assumption: they often don't know themselves why they do what they do, so all you get are bullshit post-hoc rationalizations.

Whether you consider yourself neurodivergent or part of the neurominority, there has been a narrative out there that we think differently. That may be the case, but what if we also think deeper? What if that itch to know more is what helps us gather more information to make informed decisions or to come up with new frameworks for understanding concepts?

Relocated to Woof.group. Time for a revised #Introduction.

I'm a cat dad of two. Exhausted ambivert. Part of the #Neurominority and very #Queer. 🇨🇦

I collect hobbies. Currents: #BoardGames (coop mostly), #VideoGames, #SoapMaking, #beekeeping, #3DPrinting.
#Bootblacking and #Leather are permanent hyperfixations that I can and will ramble about if you give me the chance.

#OutspokenActivist on much of the above + the pandemic.

"Exposure to ABA is associated with elevated rates of
post-traumatic stress disorder.97 Autistic communities
and scholars have denounced ABA as demeaning and
harmful, comparing them to conversion practices.98
The histories of conversion practices and ABA are
intertwined through Ole Ivar Loovas, who developed
ABA and coauthored core texts of the conversion practices literature." #StopABA #NeuroMinority

A couple of good, linked threads from the birdsite here, both pointing out how stigmatisation and underdiagnosis make #AllAutistics appear to be a much smaller #neurominority than we actually are
