navigating a healthcare system that has no fucking idea what to do w/ adults of neurodevelopmental divergence
what if we had a vast, well-funded, widely-accessible network of nurses available to make home visits to provide extra care to people experiencing flare-ups without institutionalizing them?

“I don’t consider myself COVID cautious. I consider myself COVID competent,” Zebrowski said. “Cautious would imply that I have an unreasonable fear of something. I do not have an unreasonable fear of this disease.”
Nailed it 🔥

This is the best paper you’ve probably never read. It covers underlying assumptions about what counts as a psychiatric disorder.
For example, are disorders defined by their underlying nature or are they categories identified by us for specific uses?

i need to stop forgetting sticky notes are great working memory hacks!!!!
just as if not more*
yea i totally understand that. thanks for that perspective esp since you work so closely with kids who fit those definitions more. it’s easy to forget that how we define something like autism is just based on cultural, emotional understandings like that
i think folks in favor of the medicalization of autism are scared of the ppl who “look more autistic” being left behind. capitalism and austerity create the fear of the services they need being cut bc they’re so heavily reliant on the pathologizing of autism and its cooccuring/coexisting conditions
it’s frustrating because, like, it’s SO easy to separate (but not divorce entirely) autism from its common co-occurring conditions (e.g., ID, LD, DD, etc) and thus understand what unites autistic people across the entire “spectrum”
how, then, are we supposed to have parasocial relationships with you… do explain 🙏
There are few clear accessibility standards for people with cognitive disabilities because the range of these disabilities is so huge. Experts have avoided one-size-fits-all approaches, but Gershon Blackmore offers some tips that will help.

We need more research on autistic burnout, as "Although autistic adults often discuss experiencing 'autistic burnout' and attribute serious negative outcomes to it, the concept is almost completely absent from the academic and clinical literature."

part of disability for me is imagining how well-managed my health could be if only i had more money
awake, but in a very liminal state
It looks as if I need a trademark litigation lawyer. Help?
After a year of going thru (and paying for) the trademark process for Autastic, at the 11th hour, some lady who does ABA therapy wants to "share" Autastic with me.

nocturnal like them, too, now 🥸
i’m accepting it, tho. it feels like i’m hibernating with my cats, who are matching my sleepy cozy vibe ❤️
like, oh i guess i’m not working on that manuscript like i had hoped i would, totally copying older academics i’ve observed to laugh about writing over the holidays as if it’s a requirement to their continued success.
really tho, my life would be so much easier rn if i had guaranteed UBI so i could just plan rest without responsibility, even just for short stretches of time. evidently i need this time to be minimally functional
this could just be my body succumbing to shameless rest now that i’m off work for the holidays, but i’m experiencing a profound sleepiness and on/off catatonia that makes me want to give up on every current project and ambition and try getting on disability haha
NO but i suggested this in an undergraduate paper i wrote !!! augntjdjgd i never found any sources for it tho i had to extrapolate based on another article i found about the “digital as prosthesis” for autistic ppl
hi i’ve been working as a manager for a small private practice for 2 years; can confirm dealing w insurance alone is a nightmare 🖤 i’m glad to do it bc it provides access to care, but yea, my role in itself is a huge expense for clinicians, and even i feel like i could use more help!
personally i feel like a ferret
