‘Takiwātanga’. Derived from the phrase “tōku/tōna anō takiwā” meaning “my/his/her own time and space”. It conveys a sense of another natural valid but different perspective-taking, life rhythm, way of being. - By Keri Opai and advisors, including celebrated Autistic NZLG Chairperson Matt Frost.

Reminder: Democracy isn't just one vote against another, it is revealing your willingness to vote with your life, sacrifice to back your vote-up to the hilt, even if that means great loss, stay on strike, suffer job loss, find yourself unhoused, refuse to comply and arrest, death in some cases.

Future bulk understanding of our autistic way of being will be from further enquiry into Monotropism, a purposeful strength, a leavening. To fear and exclude diverse and divergent brain architectures will come to be viewed as yet another miserable relapse in the rise of civility and civilisation.

In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

Autistic polling-It's time this neurodivergent love language had the reframe it deserves. Delighted to share this @johngreally.bsky.social Facebook-post-inspired infographic duo, created with love @elainemcgreevy.bsky.social @kimmears.bsky.social 100% Experience sensitive & Autism affirming
Title: What does it mean? Autistic "polling" 

A rainbow of green, orange and red next to this.

Text underneath in green: Idea, (*) John Greally, 06/2020; Design, @CommonSenseSLT & SRWCEN, 12/2024

There are 9 colour blocks, in 3 rows of 3, each with different hearts at the top in white. Underneath each heart there is a piece of text. The text going along from the first row, left to right.

Repeating the same questions, 
over & Over.

Non-Questions that  communicate beyond words.

Energy efficient: expressing energy (Anxiety/ Excitement) 
& “Spoon Saving”.

A way to sense-make, To check & explore safety to keep   communicating.

Polling is about empathy that goes both ways: "Togetherness".

Comforting/able, soothing,
familiar structure, reassuring.

Often unique to an individual 
& an interaction.

Connecting, rapport building,
relational, tuning in!

A verbal dance: it helps if everyone knows the moves.

Text underneath the colour blocks in red.

“When I poll, I hope for reassurance, I am assessing mood or patience-level, 
I may need to repeat my question many times before I establish a pattern, 
to identify that I am safe to proceed.”

“The quality and timing of the response to my polling is vital for me to open-up or experience low-anxiety periods in life, to make progress with, to develop assurance about non-judgmentalness in you, or a parent, for there to be allyship, safety, lower stress, smoothness, etc.” (John Greally)
