Shaunagh #RemoveTheRoom Kane Communication requires connection, listening, acceptance, accessible & multi modes of communication. It's a 2 way process.

The Clinical Gods gather together for furious feasting, dance & revision of text to determine peak dehumanisation; then bestow the powers of clinical diagnoses unto mortal clinicians who've displayed the hardest worship & recital of the DSM bible; rendering them uberclinicians

A really important and fantastic guide - please share

From May onwards I will be back to running in person sessions, in a clinic in Alysham Norfolk. More details to follow. Very excited to be going back to face-to-face once a week.

I've just donated to Caabu

Every second & every aspect was perfection.

With the added bonus of confirming how much I am in love with michael sheen 💙 (Sorry Michelle Rose Marketing )

Also, to add Michael: if you are that obviously comfortable in the presence of a group of us... 👀🪞😉

Whenever I see someone I know who I've talked about autism with begin a new job as a BCBA or start a podcast advocating for ABA, I get a pit of conflicting feelings in my stomach. Are they going to make the field better, or are they just as complicit? I honestly don't know

If i didn't know better, I'd say that Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️ was going to a UK secondary school...

Yet, researchED US fully endorses these methods in schools in the UK, and we can only imagine they intend to lobby in US to stop any bans of dangerous restraints & seclusion. UK’s Tom Bennett OBE is speaking at a tax-payer funded CT school today. Chris Murphy 🟧, this is appalling

I am responding from my personal account rather than ICARS, which was tagged, in this post and others as this is a personal comment and not a coalition statement. I do so out of commitment to survivors and advocates across the US who campaign individually or organizationally…

I wonder how aware children's #OccupationalTherapists are when it comes to their role in perpetuating #ableism ?
FYI It doesn't have to be consciously malicious to make it complicit.

What you know, & what you think you know are not the same thing

Prof. environments curate cultures of assumption, bias & vacuums of context

'What don't I know?' Is the most important & hardest reflective question to answer, yet in prof. settings, it's a question rarely asked

One of the trusts tried to argue 'training wasn’t needed. As, essentially, every autistic person is different so training wouldn’t help' Fern's family disagree 'Yes we’re all different but it’s still the same condition, isn’t it??' Absolutely, there are pretty simple adaptions.

Wonderful valuable resources, thank you TheAutisticAdvocate Amy Pearson Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ne znam je li mi više muka od samog Matea ili onih koje njegove knjige prevode i tiskaju na HR i na taj način šire jednodimezionalno promišljanje autizam i ADHD-a i to upravo u učiteljskim okruženjima.

Osobno sam uvjerena da ne znamo sve, još ćemo dugo saznavati više, ali 👇🏼

TheAutisticAdvocate I rarely have a visceral response to a person, but him…

What I can’t stand is these things being served to teachers. Esp re ADHD. Like we all haven’t got enough problems in the education setting, here comes Gabor!

So exhausting!

Hi Gabor,

How are you doing back there in the 1950s?

I don't know why the ADHD world embraces him either, when he thinks ADHD is solely a trauma response

Stop validating outdated and ableist viewpoints. Be critical.
