Among everything I’ve learned, this job has officially taught me how to talk on the phone. I used to hate it. Now I still hate it… but I call parents daily and somehow end up enjoying it 🤣

Hace unos meses envié una columna de opinión al periódico de El Nuevo Día. No tuve conocimiento de su publicación, pero por aquí se las dejo. Titulada “El autismo no es una epidemia. La exclusión sí” 24/abril/2025

Opinión | El autismo no es epidemia. La exclusión sí
En Puerto Rico, donde el acceso a servicios de salud mental, evaluaciones y apoyos escolares es precario, este tipo de narrativa puede ser devastadora, escribe Lourdes Concepción

THIS right here is what gives me hope and also makes me sad on days when this medical system drowns you, pushes you to push back, and teaches you to quiet your instincts. I won’t. The system is brutal.
I feel like teaching kept my compass set to dignity, community, and real healing. Deep breaths

Yesterday might’ve been my last time teaching for who knows how long, and that’s a hard pill to swallow. Teaching just makes sense to me. I know it’s where my passion is, and I really hope I get to do it in the near future…

Being in a hospital setting reminds me how much I loved being a “professor” this past year - mentoring & supervising people

Love clinic work. LOVEEEE kids. Love interacting with families. Nothing can beat the satisfaction of helping people. AND… I need a job just doing research and teaching.
This is a “I’m ready but dreading this upcoming year”

today i sat across from a white person who said students losing visas isn’t a big issue bc “only 200 got kicked out.” he called ICE raids “asking students to leave.” then said some have “stolen data.”
i reminded him that stealing is a crime. that calling international students criminals is violent.

New experiences: falling going UP the stairs. I’ve fallen down the stairs and that resulted in a broken angle. This time resulted in a broken ego and lost pretzel. At least I’m consistent and just keep falling. Four months- four falls so far 🫡

Lots of praise to my students who took time to continue reading on eugenics, the current state of the dpt of education and came ready to class to discuss, vent and get angry. They spoke about organizing and revolution. Beautiful. Grateful for them 👏🏽

Power outage in Puerto Rico: the whole island lost power. LUMA Energy - private power company that manages the transmission and distribution of electricity in 🇵🇷, has stated it could take 72+ hours to restore it. About 3% of the island (tourist side/east) now has power. New Year’s Eve in the colony

General power outage in almost all Puerto Rico. More tan 440K households without power. Government says it may take all day &/or a couple of days to get power back. This is NOT a rare occurrence in the island. However, it is a first to receive a new year in complete darkness

The health care system is 💩. I have no health insurance in 🇵🇷 but need to visit a pulmonologist. The doctor doesn't have an appointment until March, but when I emphasized that I don't have insurance, a slot magically appeared for next week.The cost of the visit starts at $300.
