Racism in the UK is at its peak. Black people really have it worse. Racist and ableist professors at University of London also drove me to deep depression during my MSc studies. I found friends who helped me survive. I'm deeply saddened by Jason Arday's death. 💔 www.instagram.com/p/DcCcp2KCs8...

I don't know but when folks prefer to settle differences in private, that usually means they need more room to be nasty. It could be trauma but right now I prefer to keep things relatively public so that I can get admissible evidence if/when they become horrible to me. 💅

My emergency fund isn't as big as it used to but I have friends, family, colleagues, fellow lobbyists, neurodivergent communities globally who help me get back on my feet. But also, I have access to secrets that are proving to be useful in protecting and defending me..

I learned from Oswin Latimer (www.divergentminds.org/board-of-dir...) that Dr. Joel Schwartz coined the term 'Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy'. This is the best I can find about this though it isn't the exact term. theneurodivergentcollective.com/what-is-affi...

Rest is *good*, unscheduled time is *good.* You are not always either producing or decaying. Creativity flows from shutting things up enough to hear yourself, to be able to synthesize everything you’ve taken in lately.

If you're autistic - Try to lower your shoulders and pull your shoulder blades together, which will stop you from getting that awful neck pain you get all the time.

Am seeing so many tired and overwhelmed autistics after Christmas Day 💛 Friendly reminder: - Rest if you need to - Be alone if you need to - Lie in a dark room if you need to - Cancel plans if you need to It’s okay to have needs, even if they don’t look like other people’s ❤️

I now get requests to review articles submitted to international journals and if I can be honest, the worst kinds are those submitted by "inclusive/special education" folks. I'm reviewing another paper today. Sadly, I will have to reject this one again. So many layers of coloniality and ableism! 🤢😖

My adulthood is becoming more of an inescapable cycle of deciding what I will not do out of all the things I do want to do. The more useful stuff I manage to do, the longer the wishlist becomes! Heartbreaking but such is life. Sorry, friends. 😔
