I can't wait to read this chapter and the larger volume when it comes out!

I love this idea of enactivism as a lens to understand monotropism. So much about my environment and forced schedule has drastically impacted my experience of the world and my cognitive and emotional experiences due to my access (or lack thereof) to flow states.

2 HOUR PANIC. 🚨🚨 Still at $320 of $700 rent due 11AM today. My life depends on staying housed, and while hotel staff are kind, their managers might not allow THEM to keep giving extra time. #PleaseShare, and help if able? #DisabilityCrowdFund #MutualAidRequest #HelpSky

Just a little fun, Haboob the AZ Pup is my Dogphew and I love him. ☺️ youtube.com/@haboob21?si...

Pre-order now available for @emergentdivergence.com's new book on Autistic pride!

Another chapter from @fergus.oolong.co.uk in what looks to be an amazing book all around! On my list to read after its release!

Ooh, I can't wait to read this!

This bug music has been helping me regulate and focus, and is really cute sometimes too. Highly recommend. And curious -- do you use music to regulate and focus too? youtu.be/GPZYeLzDE-Y?...

I'm honored to be a part of @autisticrealms.bsky.social new starter pack--check it out!

#PSA IF YOU NEED HELP REACH OUT. I NEVER CHARGE TO HELP ANYONE WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION. OR CALL THE NUMBER BELOW.

Can't wait to read upcoming chapters on neurodiversity and education from @fergus.oolong.co.uk and co-authors!

Beautiful, thoughtful, and extremely useful approach to transitions for monotropic folks. All educators, partners, carers, and friends should know about this and work to employ it with more monotropic compatriots.

Monotropism and moss 💜💚

@neuroqsolarpunker.bsky.social This looks great!

I really enjoyed this piece from @allan-white.bsky.social about some ways people misunderstand him due to their being uninformed about dyspraxia. substack.com/@plainslefty...

I know there is a lot wrong in the world right now, and we have a lot of work to do. But also, equids. Enjoy. youtube.com/@newmexequid...

Yes, this should be required reading for everyone. It's astonishing (and not in a good way) how much has been normalized in our societies based on relatively recent ideas about what "normal" is or should be (or even to bother thinking about "normal").

All of this.

This April, please do what you can to ensure that Autistic people are listened to about autism - and beware that too much awareness can be wearing.

This is so interesting. It immediately makes me think of the patterns we can feel in music, especially when there are a few overlapping.

😁

This will be so good. I have learned a lot from the work of both presenters, @emergentdivergence.com and @tanyaadkin.bsky.social as well as the facilitator @autisticrealms.bsky.social

Great food for thought and guidance about citizens' assembly rules from @neuroqsolarpunker.bsky.social at this link: www.facebook.com/share/1G495s... It's definitely worth taking a moment to read through the whole post.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance guide and cookbook called COLOR TASTE TEXTURE. While not all Autistics have food aversions (and vice versa), we have outsized representation. For #AutismAcceptanceMonth, buy my book! Nothing about us, without us.

Neurodivergent starter pack!

Our neighborhood cat friend visited recently. I'm not sure what he was after--at this time of year it could be birds, lizards, bugs. We call him Orange and White Kitty. I think he is the son of Mama Kitty, a lovely old calico who also lived across the street.

This spring I had the honor to edit the manuscript of this captivating memoir detailing the author's experiences understanding his neurodivergence. E-pub is available for immediate purchase--other formats release this summer. @allan-white.bsky.social url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/cWZECWWA5r...

I just voted for Helen Edgar due to her amazing work on neurodivergence -- I hope you will too!

Free resource on neurodivergence and burnout from two great creators and advocates!

Weird pride!!

Weird pride day!! ☺️💜🤗

Share your experiences of being monotropic in this community project 💜

Weird Pride!! 💜☺️

"Dessert" books? 🤮 My kid was an avid book reader until about 3rd grade. Just a few years of school attitudes about reading quashed their interest. Logs, required comprehension questions during the first time reading a text, filling in templates to identify "parts of a story".. Joy gone.

Wonderful work from Stimpunks!

Yes 🪳🪳

Ooh, very excited to read this, and add it to a small, in-house professional development session I will give on monotropism in March!

Today's FB memory from when kiddo was 4, came with the caption "We had a perfectly normal Saturday night here." 😄💜 #WeirdPride

We need changes to society's systems to minimize monotropic split. It's nearly impossible to respect one's own cognitive needs without an inordinate amount of privileges.

Monotropism starter pack of folks to follow!

@neuroqsolarpunker.bsky.social has inspired our household towards more conservation, reuse, community building--lots of good things I associate with solarpunk. In related news, kiddo learned to mend today, practicing on my favorite wool socks that I thought I had to throw away and replace with new!

I love volunteering with @stimpunks.org We are a small team serving some of the most marginalized people in our society We: - give directly to those in need. - maintain a vast website of information. - provide learning space. Help the work with a small donation. givebutter.com/vE17AW/caven...

Helpful summary and commentary about monotropism!

I realised that I couldn't find a piece breaking down exactly what's so problematic about the word 'symptoms' as applied to features of autistic people, so I wrote it. Perhaps the key thing is that ALL of the listed 'core symptoms' are *terrible* treatment targets. oolong.medium.com/autism-sympt...

Really looking forward to this! 8 Days to go!
