"Why is this device even an issue?"

I present to you, my latest Open Access paper! Here, I approach Neupulse (and median nerve stimulation more broadly) through the lens of technoableism.

On this note, I've just had word that my paper on this so-called treatment is now in-press! "Centering Tourettic Experiences in Technology: Tourette Syndrome, median nerve stimulation, and the role of technoableism in self-harm and stigma" will be out soon. Watch this space, stop electrocuting us.

Dr Daniel P Jones @danielpjones.bsky.social · 29d

For a film that has a story largely focused on finding acceptance regardless of tics, it ends in a documentary-styled promotion for Neupulse which encourages folks to self-administer electrocution to minimise tics. Ethically questionable, yes, but also evidence of poor writing and confused messages

I fear that should this film win these BAFTA categories, it will do nothing but enforce the idea that electrocuting tourettic people into neurotypical submission is 'fine', that tourettic actors do not belong in the industry, and that filmmakers can get away with perpetuating dangerous narratives.

Dr Daniel P Jones @danielpjones.bsky.social · 29d

Lots of folks disagree with me hugely, but I say that regardless of the fact this story was based on the life of someone in the TS community, perhaps we do not have to settle for representation, but for good representation. We need TS media where the conclusion isn't that our existence is an issue.

Dr Daniel P Jones @danielpjones.bsky.social · 29d

The lead character has Tourette Syndrome. They decided to cast somebody who does not have Tourette Syndrome (or even a tic disorder for that matter) as the lead. Tourettic people were, however, given the 'privilege' of being extras in the background. This does not count as inclusive casting.

Dr Daniel P Jones @danielpjones.bsky.social · 29d

'I Swear' has made the BAFTA Longlist for 6 awards this year, including 'Best Film', 'Leading Actor', and 'Casting'. As a disability scholar focused on Tourette Syndrome, and a tourettic person myself, here's a couple of my concerns in a short thread...

Monday mornings look like:

‐ The same job rejection being sent to me for the fourth time, just in case I'd forgotten
- My local café running out of ALL dairy-free milk
- A bird deciding to poop on not one, but both of my shoulders

Big sighs all around! 🫠

Every budget from the past two decades has followed the same formula: more money for weapons, more tax cuts for corporations and yet ordinary people are told we have to tighten our belts and face cuts in our community.
