Therefore, we examine in this study to what extent the neurodiversity movement's ideas match well with the experiences of people with Tourette's.

When people list conditions that fit under the neurodiversity umbrella, they often mention Tourette syndrome. Much of what is written about neurodiversity though, stems from autistic experiences.

Zo goed! Ook veel opvolgvragen wel 🫣

But as autistic people do look for therapy for mental health problems, it makes sense to adjust therapy to the needs at hand. Acceptance is key here indeed, but I don't think any one is served well with 'unconditional' acceptance. More about the rationale for this study here: tinyurl.com/yk88zp4a

Hi @everydayhuman.bsky.social . Not sure what your point is in relation to the study and to psychotherapy for autistics. Obviously, we are not interested in fixing, because we don't believe anything has been broken. (1/2)

Thanks for sharing! If you want to have a chat with the main researcher @themispant.bsky.social on how to contribute potentially to this study,
feel free to reach out via the contact details in the post above!

We deserve "more than a lick of paint", we deserve "structural social change" 🦾.

We argue that government neurodiversity politics should be firmly based on documented priorities of neurodivergent communities: creating accessible and inclusive education, healthcare and workplaces; and rooted in the legal frameworks and activist traditions of the wider disability movement.

By picking examples such as fonts and wall colours, and by separating neurodiversity policies from disability rights, de Vries largely underplays the potential and responsibilities of states to become "significantly more neuro-neutral".

And it looks like his equally-impressive partner-in-crime @themispant.bsky.social is here now too! Another very worthwhile follow.

Just arriving at Bluesky, but I'd love to be added too, thanks! :)
