Why ABA is not a good approach for autistic kids: "Dig deeper. What is going on with the child underneath this behavior? What are the child's strengths, their challenges in this context—their needs? What would it look like to truly support them?" by LearnPlayThrive:

I would say somewhere between 10-13% of my day is spent just resisting the urge to tell people that’s not actually what “ironic” means

How many more days till break everybody? 😅

Time to rise and grind, bluesky! I'm earning a whole month of pleasure reading as much delightful brainrot and Veilguard as I can handle.

On Interdependence: "As a parent I don’t want to stunt my Autistic child’s growth by assuming she can’t do things. I also don’t want her to feel like I don’t understand the very real struggle & pain she experiences when the demands of her life exceed her capacity."

MTEL round 2, let's go.

Hello Bluesky. For my first post, the very first piece of art I drew that cut through the imposter syndrome and made me think "oh shit, I might be an artist." Sorta. Alcohol markers on sketch paper scanned with a 3-in-1 printer that barely does 1-of-1 on a good day.

I'm slowly posting my art here; some of it is older, but still within a couple months. Usually only share to friends. but I figure if i'm going to present my work publicly, I should ... well, show what I've done. I never named this character, so if anyone reads this, suggestions?

Monday moods:

The notebook sweet spot is so small.
Like the chances of finding one that's nice enough to buy but not too nice to ruin by writing in it are basically zero. Madness. This world is absolute madness.

But the whole world is scary right now, so it's big girl pants and a brave face because my son and his peers are going to need a neurospicy teacher with the lessons of advocates like @autistictyping.bsky.social @fidgetsandfries.bsky.social and many others taken to heart. (2/2)

First teaching license exam today. Wavering between confident and queasy. (1/2)

I'm so excited to join the Office of National Autism Coordination (ONAC) to discuss Understanding Autism in Indigenous Communities, this Friday November 15th.
