'Imagine the intergenerational impact we could've had if psychology had taken a stand against homophobia, colonialism, and racism sooner.' The irony of a 'healing' profession that is complicit in causing and perpetuating systemic harm. I'm angry - but I'm learning how to make my anger useful.

Over the weekend the Government of Israel blocked all aid into Gaza, making an already dangerous situation even more desperate. Nearly all 1.1 million children are in dire need of food and water. We are urging the UK Government to use its power and influence to lift the blockade.

Many autistic people are queer and/or trans, and are suffering as a result of contemporary politics and withdrawal of healthcare. Supporting autistic people entails resisting against attacks on LGBTQ+ people.

If you're in the UK, autistic or not, please sign this. Millions of autistic people have been abused and traumatized by ABA, including myself. I haven't been in ABA since 1997 and I'm still managing the trauma today.

Not So NT In A ND World @not-so-nt.bsky.social · 23/02/2025
Welcome to another #SowingASeedSunday Every thought is like a seed that grows and becomes a part of our reality. This week’s comes from Audre Lorde. “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.”
Image is a beige slide titled Sowing A Seed Sunday which is in a dark greenish colour at the top of the slide in capital letters. 

Next to the title in the top right is my logo, a world with the Rainbow Neurodiversity symbol across
It and the words NT In A ND World in light yellow I've the top of the Neurodiversity symbol. 

In the middle of the page is a quote from a book I have read. This is in the same greenish colour in Open Dyslexic font. 

This week’s comes from Audre Lorde.

The quote reads “There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.”

Today, our gentle reminder that there isn't an 'astonishing' rise in autistic people. We've always been here. Most of us weren't counted in the figures, before, because they were looking for the young white boys who collect trains. They got better at finding us. Thanks for reading.

I like words but sometimes images are so much better. 'Christ in the Rubble' by Kelly Latimore redletterchristians.org/2024/03/15/r...
This image is of a colourful religious icon. In the foreground are Mary and Joseph protectively holding the baby Jesus. Joseph also has his arm round Mary. They are surrounded on all sides by rubble. In the background are bombed and burning buildings, some toppled and learning, and in the night sky a bright star shines. Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus have golden halos around their heads. Mary wears robes of blue and purple and Joseph wears turquoise and deep orange. Baby Jesus is swaddled. The Holy Family are brown skinned, Mary has her head covered and Joseph is bare headed with a dark beard.

I don't normally do client-facing work on Fridays - it gives me time to process the week's interactions. Sometimes there's a theme connecting them. Today I'm worried about the social care crisis and the impact on young autistic people who are trying so hard while support systems fail them daily.

Really feeling the conscious incompetence making this, my first post ever 😬 but, as I'm always reminding the parents I work with, learning new things usually involves some level of discomfort. Posting this is my chosen discomfort for the day!
