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). We are not only against the idea that people need to be fixed to fit into neuronormative ideals, we are offering NQLS as a transformative space of healthy power dynamics.

How do you challenge neuronormative domination in learning spaces?
neuroqueer = subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from neuronormativity.
Our #NeuroqueerLearningSpaces series is open for submissions.

A Short Rumination on Our Journey to Neuroqueer Learning Spaces
We fought for the right to learn differently, and lost. The journey was instructive.

The Path to Equity Begins with Neuroqueer-Sensitive Learning Spaces

Many of us on the #NeuroqueerLearningSpaces project got into this work by educating at home when school didn't work out.
The next piece in our project is about “Neuroqueering Education at Home”.

Schools will continue to exclude us en masse until they reconnect with the timeless patterns and primordial spaces of human learning and collaboration.

Neuroqueering Learning Spaces: an exploration
https://stimpunks.org/2024/03/23/neuroqueering-learning-spaces-an-exploration/
We will collaborate with different communities to discover what an embodied, neuroqueer education and learning space may mean for those facilitating education and how it could support young people.

Neuroqueer DIY: The place where we belong does not exist. We will build it.
We need to deconstruct, dismantle and un-learn as part of the neuroqueering process to lift the burden of neuronormativity that is weighing our children down.
Deconstruct with Zero-Based Design.

Cavendish learning spaces are based on flexibility, interaction, movement and the role of embodied responsive experiences. We reject the boundaries of traditional classroom settings and look at how they not only restrict embodied experiences but lead to disembodied experiences and harm.

The burden of neuronormativity is weighing our children down.
We have turned classrooms into a hell for neurodivergence.
We need Cavendish Space now.

I (Ryan) think we’re on to something with “Timeless Patterns in Primordial Spaces”. This captures the essence of Cavendish Space, and maybe of progressive education more broadly.

Many iterations later…
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/cavendish-space/
Now with…
