A really helpful thread from @neurofabulous.bsky.social which challenges our thinking about groups. When we don’t embrace differences & preferences, even with good intentions, we risk treating everyone the same & not making crucial accommodations & adjustments for individual needs. #EduSky #EdPsychs
"Everyone's a little autistic."
"I don't really believe in labels."
In this thread I'll try and explain what's so harmful about saying these (and similar) things.

It’s so important to be open minded about how stress manifests. We focus a lot on fight and flight. But it can also present as quiet, withdrawn, rigid, and compulsively compliant. “Good behaviour” doesn’t always mean feeling good on the inside. #EdPsychs
Good behaviour in children can be misleading about their mental and emotional state.

I’ve never been comfortable with the term “expert”. It immediately creates a power imbalance, risks a focus on telling instead of listening, and it can be used by others to delay or sidestep their own responsibilities.
A key idea of ND-informed practice is to place ourselves alongside those we support, not above, not as 'expert' 🙏

Helpful reminder that our window of tolerance for stress and our ability to cope with demands fluctuates every day and throughout the day. Something that is easy and straightforward on one day can feel exhausting and overwhelming on another. The same applies to the kids you teach. #EduSky #EdPsychs
Hey folks - this is your reminder of this important graph from @AdamMGrant. You may be tempted to go above and give it your all, especially if you're an educator at the beginning of the school year, but it's fine to pace yourself and listen to what you need. #teacherwellbeingselfcare
