A detailed breakdown of how distress is caused by the cumulative effect of multiple environments existing within a broader ecosystem. Building on Luke Beardon's golden equation, this is the ecosystemic model.

#EcosystemicModel #MentalHealth #ActuallyAutistic #autism #AutisticWellbeing
An Ecosystemic Model of Distress, Power, and Mismatch
Distress does not originate inside a person like a faulty circuit or a chemical spill. It emerges when a person is required to exist within an unsupported bodymind, within mismatched immediate environments, and within larger systems that hold power over access to care, safety, credibility, and resources. This matters, because where we locate distress determines what we try to fix.
