We regret to inform you that his phenomenon has a name: RAS Syndrome.
Redundant Acronym Syndrome…Syndrome.
Fascism sets in EXACTLY like this. Days go by. Nothing improves. The people wait with bated breath for SOMETHING or SOMEONE to help. Court orders, but no enforcement. Time passes. We become desensitized. Life goes on. Rights are chipped away. Life goes on. People die. Life goes on.
A vital look into the digital, collective origins of 'neuroqueer' - stretching all the way back to autistic Usenet forums in the early 00s.
Internet history is so crucial to critical neurodiversity studies!
Asks: what might a neuroqueer citation politics look like?
ME: Give it to me straight doc. Is the tumor malignant?

Why knowing I am autistic is important (even diagnosed as late as 57): When I begin to berate myself for giving up on something, I now remember: no, you burned out. Autistic burnout is no joke. It's why being autistic is considered a disability. I'm not a loser. I'm running with ankle weights.

BEHAVIOURAL THEORY 101: 🥕 > 🏒
- Carrots (rewards) work better than sticks (punishment).
- Carrots are more ethical than sticks.

Intentionally follow, read, and share the work of scholars from under-represented groups in your field.
Look specifically for their work when you’re doing literature review and collecting citations.
These are, in very real ways, acts of justice.

Being on BlueSky has made me realize how truly awful Twitter was for my mental health. Even before the buyout.... It was a shame losing all the followers and mutuals I had there, but....
That site really messed with my head and made me feel like a worse person.

Psychological impacts of the #Gaza war on Palestinian young adults: a cross-sectional study of depression, anxiety, stress, and PTSD symptoms bmcpsychology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
Wrote a paper naming this phenomenon that was one of the most read academic papers of 2020
www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10....
"Diagnosis is inaccessible and expensive...Autistic adults are more likely to have chronic illness and mental health conditions...Suicide is one of the leading causes of premature death in people with autism. Questioning diagnosis denies the data and the difficulties that autistic people live with."

The contemporary classroom is a bastion of neuronormativity. We neuroqueer to fight for the right to learn differently.
Behaviorism denies flexibility and choice and is the antithesis of Neuroqueer Learning Spaces (NQLS).
