Emancipatory Inclusion
It is every child’s basic human right to access inclusive education. But what does it mean to have emancipatory inclusion? Join us as we move beyond the traditional notion of inclusivity and delve into the essence of emancipatory inclusion, in which all children receive an equitable and participatory learning experience.
Emancipatory inclusion is characterised by supports that allow children to communicate using their preferred method, and an environment where their presence and diverse perspectives and experiences are genuinely valued. It recognises that true inclusion requires Autistic children and their families to be active partners in, and not merely recipients of education.

Navigating the Holiday Season

The end of year holidays can be a both joyful and stressful time. The changes to routine and increased social demands - among other things - can lead to overwhelm and exhaustion. Whether or not we celebrate Christmas, we often engage in activities at this time of year because we think these 'should' or 'need to' be done, or done in certain ways. This year, we invite you to consider tailoring yo...
Neuro-Affirmation in the Classroom

Join Sue Fletcher-Watson as she considers the evidence that existing attempts at understanding and including a range of learners in our schools, are failing. Existing support is too often diagnosis-centred rather than child centred, resulting in unequal access to support. In addition, even when a diagnosis is provided, support models too often focus on identifying something “wrong” with an indi...

    Thank you I encourage this so much pressuring my teen to self-disclose so he can know that people are more willing to accept him than he thinks. He says they will use it against him, which makes no sense to me. I see only the good possibilities while he only sees the negative possibilities and seeing this video helps me gain some perspective and really allow it to be solely his decision. I just want him to love and accept himself and not get burnout in his 20s from masking his whole life (I thought it was the way)

    Useful and important. The one issue I have with Neurodiversity us the emphasis on the Brain as the difference medium. The term different Brains still sounds medical and not layered enough about what beings about 'difference' in human-life. You don't have a relationship with a Brain, but with a person

    Dialectical reasoning establishes what cannot be proven but is nonetheless empirically obvious…for obvious reasons. If anyone capable of keeping in mind most autism is (dialectically) undiagnosed bothered to study it I believe what they’d find is Alzheimer’s women are inevitably mothers of autistic adult children. Psychiatry withholds its dialectical awareness at the behest of those paying its fees in part by conflating undiagnosed with unremarkable, but dementia (egdecompensatory regression) doesn’t randomly occur as part of an otherwise unremarkable mental health history. Autistics do it on the front end, schizophrenics in the middle, and (mostly undiagnosed) narcissist and psychopath women who are many (but not all) of our mothers regress at the end. Schizophreniform decompensation is essentially Stockholm syndrome in reverse, so of course it most-frequently happens in early adulthood shortly after leaving home. So-called autistic burnout is autistic catatonia (which is frequently misdiagnosed as early-onset dementia then “treated” with contraindicated antipsychotics which accelerate catatonic persistence and decline thereby confirming misdiagnoses of dementia). Not only can catatonia be EASILY differentiated by simple lorazepam challenge, but adult autistic regression is anxiety (FEAR), NOT PSYCHOSIS (dissociation)-an acutely aware freeze response evolutionarily equivalent to “playing possum” JUST LIKE AUTISTIC “SHUTDOWNS”. It’s also abundantly obvious to anyone who removes his blinders that BPD is the inevitable sequelae of untreated postpartum psychosis in ASD. Psychiatry (the very discipline which elaborated autism as developmental delay when Bleuler coined the neologism for Freud’s “infantile autoeroticism” to steal credit for Freud’s work) continues to insist there is no such thing as an adult-onset PD. This is self-servingly self-contradictory. Battery dying. I could write a shit ton more, but you’re a researcher (and mature beyond your years). You’re in a better position than me to run with this anyway

  • @schmetterling4477
    @schmetterling4477 Рік тому

    No offense, but how is any of this different from a non-autistic adult relationship? If you don't do some or even many of these things in a "normal" relationship regularly, then you won't have a relationship for very long. It may be easier to express something like "I really didn't like what you did there just now." for "normals" (whatever that species is), but I am not even sure about that. It took me a couple of tries to leave that kind of thing to the left side of my brain rather than have the right side go nuts over the situation. Once I and my partners had learned to communicate these emotional needs and triggers rationally, it was all good.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR MESSAGE. THANK YOU. I am so fed up with the disorder narrative. In Switzerland they are still in the stone age in that regard. All your "behaviour" is pathologized even though, neurotypicals do that too but have no label slapped on them. Just because you have a diagnosis, suddenly this prevents you from getting the support you need.. as it is not regulated by law, but invalidity insurance, and they do a very good job, invalidating you.. When I say what you say to them, then they call it "big potential for resistance" What is it about invisible disability (and sometimes not so invisible) that makes it so difficult to accept it.. and NOT make it as "behavioural" everything. And yes, then you are dehumanized. And what happens then is identity fatigue.

    I read Brewer et al. (2015), last week, I was pissed too. However, it made me thinking, what measures can we come up that actually measure how autistics express empathy and emotions. after being trained all these years to become a psychologist, a neurotipical psychologist (how to behave like a neurotipical to treat neurotipical). I have to use the measurement that measures neurotipical empathy to measure autistic empathy. as an autistic myself, i would never do those things, even I feel how others feel, so intense and overwhelming. That makes me sad. Nowadays, if people ask me, how autistics communicate, I would answer "well, words are not that important, it is telepathic. It is called the autistic theory of mind, which neurotipicals don't have." Hahahaha 😆 At the end of the day, this is a problem of majority and minority. The reality is, there are just not that many autistics become psychologists. We need more autistic brain power, come together, and get it done. Sadly, when I looked back the intro for my Honours, it said something like "to be a successful applicant for this position, you need to have excellent communication skills (e.g. eye contact, active listening), interpersonal skills......"..... What a joke....

    With 30 years of experience I can say - it is time to change our framework, jargon, and testing process. The difficulty is to convince colleagues-a big undertaking but as more adults with Autism share their experiences and educate us I hope that therapists see the value. I have become increasingly committed to educating all; somewhat discouraging that we have become a “get it done” and comply to other’s expectations of what and how to implement OT.- “Stuck” in the past framework. Thank you for sharing this insightful update.

    When I first self-identified as autistic, I would get confirmation bias from other people who would start pointing out the times that I was being unempathetic. Like we all do sometimes. They would say you're being Spectrum again. You're autistic empathy deficit is showing When really they meant to call me out for doing something inconsiderate perhaps but because I was disclosing to them they use that label for this particular foible. I overcompensated and went out of my way for 10 more years to prove that I was in fact super empathetic. It resulted in me getting into situations where I was exploited more if I hadn't been trying to convince everyone I met that I had empathy and was autistic at the same time. I was recently accessed again and it definitely shows no empathy deficit and I have the paper to prove it but none the less I still meet the criteria to be on the Spectrum so there you go. It's not all about the empathy in my need to prove it one way or the other was really detrimental to my getting support for my actual needs instead of need to prove something.
