This is the best paper you’ve probably never read. It covers underlying assumptions about what counts as a psychiatric disorder.
For example, are disorders defined by their underlying nature or are they categories identified by us for specific uses?

It looks as if I need a trademark litigation lawyer. Help?
After a year of going thru (and paying for) the trademark process for Autastic, at the 11th hour, some lady who does ABA therapy wants to "share" Autastic with me.

i’m accepting it, tho. it feels like i’m hibernating with my cats, who are matching my sleepy cozy vibe ❤️
this could just be my body succumbing to shameless rest now that i’m off work for the holidays, but i’m experiencing a profound sleepiness and on/off catatonia that makes me want to give up on every current project and ambition and try getting on disability haha

hi i’ve been working as a manager for a small private practice for 2 years; can confirm dealing w insurance alone is a nightmare 🖤 i’m glad to do it bc it provides access to care, but yea, my role in itself is a huge expense for clinicians, and even i feel like i could use more help!

to deal w/ unlawful delays in joining networks,
fixing inaccurate quotes of benefits & data entry errors,

not even a grad student or someone who works full-time in research yet, btw (i.e., am not rlly institutionally affiliated or paid lol). just engaging in these thought exercises ahead of when that happens so i am prepared for the accompanied struggle ❤️🫰🏼
does academia under capitalism truly want autistic ppl to be themselves or—instead—the version of themselves that is just acceptable enough to be as productive as the normative scholar? will institutions still value and fund us if we produced at the pace most natural for us?

Fellow #insomniacs & #autistics, I thought I’d share a trick I’ve been using to help me fall asleep-
I go through the roygbiv 🌈 rainbow starting with 🟥 red & try to think of as many 🟥 red things as I can before moving on to the next color. I usually fall asleep before I get to 🟩 green.
