Looks like I’ll be writing one of these weekly. Unless this guy stops his onslaught against the disabled. BTW - they toned down my headline for publication but ran it online (“Trumps remarks an affront on American values”).

Started Cothu training this morning. In three weeks I will be licensed in the US to provide neuro-affirming parenting training throughout the world. If you are interested in learning more or even getting “your neurodiversity learnin on,” stay tuned and follow.

A screenshot of a translation page explaining the meaning of the Irish word “cothú.” The main English translation provided is “nutrition.” Additional meanings include “subsistence” and “foster.” The page also lists related Irish words for “nutrition” (beathú, cothúchán) and “subsistence” (cothabháil, maireachtáil, maireachtáil ón lámh go dtí an béal). There are speaker icons next to the words, indicating pronunciation options.

I made it through my first proper day back on campus in over a year. Thankfully therapy and proper coping skills have helped immensely. I’m working on keeping myself whilst still playing their game. #survivein2025 #survivein25

Microaccommodations is such an amazing, simple, and economically viable action to take. I use them in my own life and highly recommend them for consideration by not just autistic folks but really everyone.

Just signed up for neuro-affirming parenting training out of Ireland. After Feb, I’ll be able to offer it up in the states to those who are interested. It is great stuff. Stay tuned for more.

The Autism CARES Act has passed the House and is now headed to the President’s desk for signature, a crucial step for supporting individuals with autism.

Autism Speaks is leaving Canada? How do we make that happen here?

@metrauxjulia.bsky.social highlights the power of authentic representation, reminding us that our voices and experiences are essential in shaping a progressive, disability-friendly future. Together, we can build a society where equity and inclusion are more than aspirations—they’re reality.

Just got back from Florida. It was great to share my ideas and theories with the business world. They seemed very receptive to the human-centered and neuro-affirming theories I presented. Strange times make strange bedfellows, methinks.

I’ll be in Tampa Florida providing a Keynote next week. Anything worth seeing or doing whilst I’m there?

Australia’s banning kids under 16 from social media, aiming to fight cyberbullying and protect mental health. But critics say it cuts off vital support for autistic and LGBTQ+ teens who rely on online spaces for connection. Is this a smart solution or overreach? apnews.com/article/soci...

Australia is banning social media for people under 16. Could this work elsewhere — or even there?

It is an ambitious social experiment of our moment in history. Experts say it could accomplish something that parents, schools and other governments have attempted with varying degrees of success — ke...

BU's research in CTE is always a reality check gut punch. Oof, this is unreal.

I’ve been away for a few days. News and media fasts are a wonderful way to allow your nervous and vagal system a little break. You owe yourself a break, every now and then.

Last night at Kettering U, the IFC & Humanities 101 Foundation explored autism, micro-accommodations, & actionable ways to foster a neuroaffirming, inclusive society. The energy and engagement were inspiring—a true testament to building community through learning and action.

Just got confirmation for venue and institutional hosting for a disability inclusion conference in Detroit for fall 2025. Stay tuned for dates, speakers, and more details—it’s a conference you won’t want to miss! #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #SelfAdvocacy #Belonging

“An image showing the outline of Michigan combined with symbols of neuro-inclusion and disability, like a wheelchair icon, Braille dots, and ASL hand signs. Glowing lines represent connections, and the Detroit skyline is in the background. The colors are soft and bright, giving a feeling of diversity and belonging.”

Self-regulation is vital for focus & well-being. Microaccommodations—like a quiet moment or a coffee break—make a big difference. Small changes create space to recharge, boosting inclusion & productivity. Support others by normalizing these moments of calm. #Microaccommodations #Belonging

A little piece I did earlier this year for The Detroit News. They have been really helpful in getting the word out on neuro-affirming resources and ideas. It’s great to take stock of a busy and fruitful year at Humanities 101.

Read a book about a boy, a mole, a fox, and a horse. It is fabulous.
