Road trip to the National MA Education (Wales) Workshop at #USW! 🚗 Looking forward to listening to the speakers and hearing about the student dissertation projects. It will also be great to see the Programme Directors after such a long time - bound together by our WhatsApp group.

There's something beautifully symbolic about this lone daisy in November sleet. It speaks to persistence, quiet strength, and blooming even when conditions aren't ideal. A little dishevelled but present!

The first sign of domestic abuse - emotional or physical - leave. Get out as fast as you can & never look back. If you have to think twice if u "deserved" that - you didn't. You never deserve abuse. Don't save the relationship for the kids either - you're not doing them a favour. Plan & escape.

#OliversCampaign Why is @NHSEngland delaying the 2023 LeDeR report on avoidable death of people with learning disabilities & autistic people? Previous reports showed 1200 deaths per year Is this linked to the Assisted Dying Bill, which raises serious concerns for these communities

If you think you're Autistic, you likely are. Given long wait times and privileged access to diagnosis in the UK, self-identifying is reasonable, also for those who don't want a formal label. Social media has allowed people to connect with lived experiences, helping them identify themselves.

I completely understand this. Microsoft Teams, bright wall colours, chairs too close together, no clocks anywhere, echoey spaces, inconsistent speaking etiquettes, not following rules succinctly, a lack of clear and coherent instructions, harsh lighting, no reminders about anything, PDF documents!

I wonder if Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou has seen this article? It's closely linked to Georgia's work that explores Autistic children and young people and their sleep.

Disabled people in the UK face £583 extra costs per month on average, even after benefits are taken into account. One in five disabled people face extra costs of over £1,000 per month. Disabled people are exceptionally likely to live in poverty. #Dispatches

Thank you, that's kind of you to say. Thank you for the original point as it's powerful lived experience and why researchers, etc. should try to avoid sweeping generalisations about Autistic people who are heterogenous just as those who are not autistic are.

Autistic Lecturer @yasmeenmultani.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

I think the main thing between some Autistic individuals in a UK context, is possibly a certain level of understanding between them. If not understanding, then a lack of damaging judgements. However, this is highly contextual with implicit racial biases, etc. converging just as they do in society.

#PlayMatters A child's lived experience is embodied in play, it matters because it represents a way of being in the world at that time, and in a specific context.

Navigate your way around by feeling and remembering the movements. Learn to recognise people by their bodily movements and gestures. Repeat yourself because the sounds of the words feel good. Eat the same thing day in day out without getting bored.

Flow so intense that you are in inertial motion and when disturbed you meltdown. Such high levels of empathy that you feel the pain of others. Always need a companion because loud sounds distrupt your proprioception and vestibular senses. I could go on.

Extreme male brain vibes coming from the direction of Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen with his gender essentialising systemizing bullshit (2010). I really hope he doesn't migrate over because I'll be blocking him. Sorry to hijack the post but SBC made that association with the maths.
