This is exactly right. It's because the underlying premise that autistic kids are unacceptable as they are - doesn't change. So even if therapists are switching up from punishment to positive reinforcement - the kids are still being taught to fundamentally dismantle who #autism #neurodiversity

I'm just amazed at the gall to suggest that AI surrogates can represent diverse populations. Bad science with terrible implications. Research in the Behavioural Sciences is difficult enough as it is. Inherently dehumanising and ableist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist ...

Interestingly, the intuition I felt and spoke from -- that embodied knowing -- is precisely the kind of thing AI, for all of its performative anthropomorphic gesturing at the simulacrum of personhood, can't do. Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!

I have been thinking about the prompts left in AI novels and the extra fingers in AI art and what it says about their "creators." Non-writers think writing is all about the epiphany when it is actually about editing and rewriting. Non-artists don't know that art begins with observation.

So aware of how close, as a neurodivergent person, I will always be to this reality. And just how much of it is down to a combination of pure dumb luck and whatever level of privilege I have - that I'm not.

Can't control the exam paper leaks, so they ban a messaging platform for the entire country.

Every day now. When someone as celebrated as Vinesh Phogat gets treated the way she does, what chance does a 10 year old Dalit girl or anyone else have, in this country. Tell me more about how survivors should come forward.

NEW: Headway, a popular online therapy platform, says it will require clients and providers to undergo biometric scanning, and there’s no way to opt out other than leaving the platform.

Instagram is shadowbanning protest videos against the Google data centre in Andhra Pradesh. Villagers and farmers in the area are really concerned about the impact this data centre will have on water security, which is already in the doldrums. (1/2)

We have done something unusual for this industry - we have run a paid indie production paying people industry rates for their work. I say this because I want people to know how worth it every penny spent on talent was. And I want production companies to know that too. 2/

when I was doing ketamine therapy for depression I had one session where I was dreaming/hallucinating about Judith Butler rallying an army of Shiba Inus to go to war in Brooklyn and whenever I see the phrase “butlerian jihad” I assume that’s what it means

Reminder to look beyond the racist ODD diagnosis, the sexist BPD diagnosis, and everyone's favourite I-couldn't-be-bothered 'behavioural problems' label - especially with neurodivergent kids/adults. Often it's much more straightforward.

This is wonderful. So many accommodations - sensory or otherwise - are so easy to include. And they make such a massive difference. When I was in school, as a young kid with (undiagnosed) ADHD, I started getting into trouble for not being able to sit still and #neurodiversity #INSAR2026 #ADHD

the reason a lot of women who are critics of gAI understand very clearly the rhetoric of AI pushers who want to defang critiques ("hysterical," "angry," "hysterical", "irrational") is because some of us at least encounter these descriptors any time we have an opinion, no matter how measured it is.

The Indian regime is gleefully mass disenfranchising queer and trans people, cis women, Muslims, Adivasis, Dalits in a state it has consistently been unable to capture. Now their chances are higher than ever.

Larry Fessenden is so good in his HABIT (1996) that it makes my heart ache. "I'm committing suicide on the installment plan."
