  6. This short educational film looks like it dates from the 1970s, yet I don't think the #SocialModelOfDisability has fully percolated into the mainstream consciousness.

    86 seconds that is likely to transform the way you think about disability, if you're able-bodied.

  10. I just learned almost everything I know about Gille Deleuze from a 13 minute YouTube video on his replacement of arborescent thinking with rhizomal thinking: youtube.com/watch?v=iDVKrbM5MI

    That got me thinking at first about mental representations in grammatical theories (syntactic, morphological and phonological) – and also the prototype theory of word meanings (which seems to recast platonic ideals as mental concepts)

    But then I also thought the non-hierarchical rhizomal approach to conceptualisation – I realise I may be butchering Deleuze’s ideas horribly! – suits the neurodiversity movement and the social model of disability

    The idea that we are equal in standing, yet different from one another (and differently affected by our environment), is very much at odds with the normative (‘arborescent’) notion that abled neurotypical people are the ideal root of which we are but a poor imitation!

  12. CW: Rant about knee-jerk pathologisation of deviations from the neurotypical norm

    I was just having a discussion with @lauravivanco about aphantasia and SDAM: mastodon.scot/@lauravivanco/11

    I am aphantasic and have a very different kind of autobiographical memory from that of other people I’ve spoken to

    But then this occurred to me:

    Why should I accept Brian Levine’s 2015 (yes, 2015!) coining of the term ‘*severely deficient* autobiographical memory’ for this aspect of my neurotype?

    Being Autistic, I’m pathologised by the medical model as having a ‘autism spectrum *disorder*’

    And being an ADHDer, I apparently have an ‘attention *deficit* hyperactivity *disorder* (yeah, get two Ds in there, why not!)

    Yet many Autistic and ADHD activists who subscribe to the social model of disability and the neurodiversity paradigm are making inroads into persuading at least some academics and clinicians to treat us as disabled, not disordered, not deficient – just a different kind of human, not humans that have gone wrong

    My aphantasia/SDAM (I have a strong hunch they go together) may have strengths and weaknesses in comparison with the imaginative capacity attributed to the mythical ‘normal’ person

    But because it’s out of the ordinary, it has to be called *severely deficient* by the gleeful (probably) neurotypical researcher, doesn’t it!

    In 2015!

    Still!

  16. So much of my work as an #ActuallyAutistic educator for young adults is undoing the damage done to them by ABA therapy and school systems. I know dogs that were educated with more humanity than some of my students.

    They're taught to be ashamed of their autistic traits, and that's pretty much it. Most of them *can't define autism,* even in their own words.

    PLEASE do not ever expose autistic people to ABA. Any perceived benefit can be attained with different approaches, like play therapy. Teach them about autism, using the #SocialModelOfDisability.

    They're fully human beings, don't ever treat them with any less dignity.

  21. Last week, youngest client who always rags on my comfortable shoes said to me:

    “I *think* you are a gentleman, but I’ve never seen you wear a suit.”

    So I wore a suit for the lesson this evening.

    Not one to mince words, she said I looked”good”.

    In case you can’t see, on the whiteboard are the words “Gentleman” and “Cad”.

    The student is thankfully pointing at “Gentleman” 😮‍💨
