Post-normal childhoods: Neuroqueering education and play - Emergent Divergence
Neuroqueer theory is often discussed in the context of neurodivergent adults. While a helpful tool in the liberation of Neurodivergent people, constraining it to just this section of society limits its potential. Neuroqueer theory, at its root, is a theory that intends to liberate all people rather than just the select few. It does this

Reclaiming Neurofuturism: An introduction - Emergent Divergence
In some of my recent articles, I have referred to something called neurofuturism. While neurofuturism itself is not a new word (although weirdly, I didn't know this when I first used it), I do believe that reconceptualising it may allow for a new discourse in the Neurodivergent community. Namely, a discourse around what the future

Defining and emancipating weirdness: A reflection for Weird Pride - Emergent Divergence
With Weird Pride Day coming up on the 4th of March, I have been considering the way I embody my identity, and how I can use my Self-expression to reclaim neurofuturism from the tech industry and use it to drive us into a post-normal society. It seems to me that post-normal thinking is growing throughout

Bigots keep trying to tell us the meaning of words, I have bad news for them - Emergent Divergence
I have repeatedly seen bigots use the "correct" meaning of words in order to try and invalidate and oppress minority groups. An immediate example is the use of singular "they/them" pronouns. Ignoring the fact that the singular use of these pronouns outdates the use of the word "you", there is further discussion that needs to

Power dynamics and mental health: Neurofuturist discourse of mental health - Emergent Divergence
When we consider power dynamics, we often consider our external environment and how power flows through the various parts of society, and where privilege is afforded by that power. While discussion of intersectionality and power dynamics is important when considering where discourse comes from and how it affects groups of people, we often don't think

Mental health and the diagnostic process: A neurofuturist perspective - Emergent Divergence
As I discussed in my recent article about co-occurring conditions, the diagnostic process in psychiatry is inherently flawed on the basis that we have failed to find any meaningful relationship between the so-called "symptoms" of psychiatric conditions, and physical biomarkers which can be measured. Despite this lack of physiological cause, we are still diagnosing people

Autism and ADHD: The myth of co-occurring conditions - Emergent Divergence
It's a very poorly kept secret that many people who are given a diagnosis of autism also meet the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD. One could be forgiven for assuming this means that people who meet the criteria for both (often termed AuDHD) have two co-occurring conditions. Unfortunately, nothing in life is simple, and

Drug use, addiction, and neuroqueering - Emergent Divergence
I have extensively explored my Autistic relationship with addiction thus far. I have considered and lamented the inappropriate treatment services, the suffering, and rejoiced in the moment that I came out the other side. I have listed numerous reasons that contributed to my active addiction, but what I have not done is really drive home
