Just threw out my bachelors and masters in notes and documents. My heart hurts a little bit about how hard I worked for all of that.

Really didn't want to see them go but having that much bulk with me isn't feasible. Feels like I did throw out all my knowledge 😞

Happy to see this finally out in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. We put a lot of work into this. We hope it pushes the conversation forward on building neurodiversity affirming interventions for autistic people.

I think I finished my masters thesis.
neuronormativity not also challenges an us/ them binary but, just as wth heternormativity/mononormativity etc highlights that complete adherence to the norms is next to impossible and (as described by foucalt) we become each others policmen to defend the norms rather than dismantling the system of oppression it also allows more space for white supremacy discussions (am literally brainstorming rn )@actuallyautistic neuro

Excellent article by @stevesilberman on how neurodiversity shaped his thinking on his mother's dementia and can be applied to neurodegenerative conditions.

Reminds me a lot about how I think about my approach to my grandfather with a TBI and his communication.

I believe that all of these conditions are a welcome part of neurodivergence and a reminder to why neurodivergence and pathology are not dichotomies. #Neurodiversity

How My Mother's Dementia Showed Me Another Side of Neurodiversity

My mother taught me to love words. Her dementia taught me to listen more closely
