I 💚 how this call for papers is written—seeing #neurodiversity as anti/interdisciplinary forms of study and practice. I’ve learnt so much from #cripstudies & #neurodivergent scholars in recent years.

hello, forties.
bday weekend full of #art making, sunny walks, and incredible company. after 2 months of creative block, I’m finally back in the flow & it feels good. there’s a birthday-fuelled urgency too—how much time do I have left to make art? how long will my disabled body let me keep going?

Left the #UK because of #Brexit (not without a long, exhausting political fight) + people like Far@ge literally giving me nightmares. Moved to #Germany, only to start fearing the rise of AfD. Back in the UK—and Far@ge & co. seem to be taking over again. What’s next? Time to pack my bags again?

My biggest fear has always been becoming disabled — and now that it’s happened, I live in constant fear of getting sicker or losing the ability to support myself. that fear never really goes quiet. That’s why today, I try to limit my exposure to the news...

Life after a health scare/medical emergency always feels incredibly precious and blissful—until my mind returns to its usual #ADHD state of constant urgency. Let's if I can learn anything for this healing process.

Still can't figure out if taking a break from #ADHD self-regulation & masking is a form of:
1.escapism;
2. self-care;
3. delusion;
4. self-harm
Any thoughts?

"#adhd -ing anxiety" - wee collage #art I made yesterday. I used photos of skin & some of #Yorkshire landscapes. I then digitised my hand made piece and turned into a even more bizarre representation of my messy neurowiring.
served as a side quest to my chapter deadline, of course.

this chapter on #neuroqueering digital youth work has taken me longer then anticipated & the editors have just provided me with a wee extension - for the 2nd time.
i know my stuff in digital youth work, but #neuroqueering is super new to me. its exciting, fascinating, confusing, and scary 🌈🧠
i know my stuff in digital youth work, but #neuroqueering is super new to me. its exciting, fascinating, confusing, and scary 🌈🧠
![text on white: Acknowledging that “neuroqueering is open to everyone but requires a lot of unlearning, relearning, creating and recreating” (Boren & Edgar, 2024: n.a.), I recognise my own limitations during this early process of conceptualisation of neuroqueering in the context of digital youth work. With nearly a decade of experience as both a digital youth worker and a researcher in digital youth work, I have observed the gradual transition of this practice from the periphery to the mainstream of non-formal education. Consistent with existing scholarship in the field, I maintain that digital youth work requires further research and systemic support to better understand its role and impact within digital society.
However, while my background in digital youth work research and practice is extensive, my knowledge and experience with neuroqueering remain relatively limited. As a peripherally white, 40-year-old Polish migrant in the UK, my ADHD diagnosis two years ago was both shocking and liberating. By framing my personal experiences in education—as a student, youth worker, and researcher—within the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm, I am gaining a critical understanding of the systemic barriers and structural challenges neurodivergent people might face in educational settings. My evolving understanding of neurodiversity also informs my work as a researcher and educator, but it has made me acutely aware that my process of re-learning how to learn may be a lifelong learning experience. However, despite my limited experience of neuroqueering, I find reassurance in Walker’s non-conceptualisation of neuroqueering as a practice that is inclusive and open to all. Advocating against authoritative framing of what neuroqueering should mean and who can engage with it, she states in her “Anyone who engages in any of those [practices that fall within the definition of neuroqueering] practices can call themselves neuroqueer anytime they damn well want” (2021:166).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6a72szeo3cils7bi7vrwmatk/bafkreifd3b5nkbteolf2diyhvrxe3ixoels3kwpuikyrbldmkglbxlo6k4@jpeg)
