Great news! A full version of the iDoc Website is now available. If you find any major issues, please let me know. To note, not all authors have videos yet, some of which will be because they have not been processed. neurodivergentbook2025.my.canva.site

Thank you, Henna (a post on a different platform), for this reminder that not speaking to this is complicity.

Shame: "the master emotion" #AECongress2025 💜♾️

"The autism wars" and how we trade different types of shame, the impact of societal stigma, the way other people impose shame on us #AECongress2025 💜♾️

The answers/way to respond to shame: * self compassion * shame competence * disclosure - if safe * role modelling #AECongress2025 💜♾️

"The antidote to shame is vulnerability" Because shame dies when spoken about in a safe place "Shame need three things to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgement" "When it comes to shame, understanding is a prerequisite for change" #AECongress2025 💜♾️

Creating resilient villages: TC highlights how universal design, participatory practices, disability rights movements and Indigenous activism approaches can build resilient villages. TC shares some lessons from our past, from movements that have resulted in rights. #AECONGRESS2025

Utterly excited to hear the incredible TC Waisman present: "Beacons in a volatile world: how research, policy and practice have become beacons." TC opens by sharing her Fiji roots & leadership. "The thing about leadership in the village is if you lead you are a leader #AECONGRESS2025

I am sitting at the welcome of the 14th Autism Europe International Congress, and I notice that Ireland are showing off with their EU flag. #aecongress2025

I'm looking forward to the start of the 14th Autism Europe International Congress. If you are in Dublin and want to chat, I'll be around to do so. See you there, if you are there.

Really enjoying this book launch so far! I'm not just saying that because I have a chapter in it - it's really a great collection of neurodivergent writers, researchers, educators and more. So many intersecting themes, so much recognition of common structural problems in education institutions...💜

What a fabulous book launch! Lovely hearing from so many of the authors of the various chapters! A really valuable resource! "Monotropism is rocket fuel for change. Monotropism is rocket fuel for learning." as quoted by @brianirvine.bsky.social - Indeed! www.igi-global.com/book/neurodi...

This is great to hear! I have some Student Nominated Teaching Awards nominations. This suggests, and it has been stated as "clear", that I have a positive impact on my students. This is wonderful, and I hope I make a difference in their studies.

At least four of the chapters in this important new book discuss monotropism. #AutRes #Autistic #EduSky

This looks really exciting and innovative. Highly recommended reading for schools, colleges and universities who want to provide excellence for their neurodivergent student body

We appreciate the shoutout @autisticbooks.bsky.social. We strived to have neurodivergent authors at the forefront of the edited collection. Thank you for highlighting the book.

"A critical view of neurodivergent 'compensatory strategies' [in communication] makes it possible to frame them as chameleonic survival abilities to celebrate, rather than bad mimicking of neurotypical abilities." - @marocchini.bsky.social thepolyphony.org/2025/06/27/n...

www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/chris-... Good to see Chris Packham and so many others taking a firm stand against OFSTED's discriminatory wording. No, there isn't a proven link between autism and extremism and it's deeply inappropriate to put it in school guidance.
