This brilliant video by Mica, @PonderfulYT, is as clear an explanation as you’ll find of the neurodiversity movement, neurodivergence and neurotypicality, and their relation to disability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iicSLx19pc

And it’s not just good because Boba tries to steal the show! 😻

In case you're wondering, yes, the #EmploymentRate for #autistic people is _abysmally_ low. We are at or very close to the bottom for all affected groups. Autism impacts employment status more than any other #disability, including #IntellectualDisability, #EmotionalDisturbance, #SpeechImpairment, and #LearningDisability.

What is high masking as a #Neurodivergent individual?

- The ability to put a smile on your face and so everyone around you sees that you're okay and how well you can maintain yourself. However, you're struggling on the inside.

- Forcing eye contact when it's excruciatingly painful. This goes for forced conversations and being unable to disengage from the conversation and so the other person assumes you understand what is being said but you're just nodding your head for the hell of it because you don't want to appear stupid because you've been bullied and called horrendous names for being stupid in the past and not knowing better. This altogether is tremendously hard and I have no idea how I do it but I do it.

- Not really understanding how I've lived life for 28 years without a formal assessment/diagnosis for a #LearningDisability when clearly something else is there and medical professionals never took me seriously all my life. I'm serious when I say, all the signs of a LD were there.

- Unsure what to say for the majority of the time.

- Replacing words that you don't know how to say with words that you know how to say.

It's just pretending one has it all together by perfecting the PERFECT image to the public when one is really just S-T-R-U-G-G-L-I-N-G.

Am I the only one who gets #bored with #videotrainings? I feel I learn better when I read things than just watching and listening. #ADHD #learningdisability

Being different & awkward is the new type of cool and a norm. In a world where people try to blend in with others, why not stand out? I think that's even better!!

Just over an hour until I do my online #Acoustic #fundraising gig for #LearningDisability #Charity CASBA. Raising money for their #ChristmasChallenge22 is really important, as they need another £1,000 before Tuesday so they don't miss out on match funding, and this money will make a huge difference to how many people they can reach: https://donate.thebiggive.org.uk/campaign/a056900002NekgZAAR

Many moons ago we did a photo shoot with two toddlers - Delilah and Harriet.

This year we got to catch up with them - fifteen years on and this time as teenagers. It was lovely to hear how their friendship had formed at the previous photo shoot and how they have kept in touch ever since.

We took a bunch of new pictures about different hobbies and activities. We talked about childhood memories. It was a great afternoon with lots of energy and excitement.

Posting my introduction again, as it didn't transfer when I switched servers:
I guess my #Introduction should be that I work for a #LearningDisability charity doing comms and fundraising, but I am also a #musician who's released three quite diverse albums as a solo artist. Find them on Bandcamp here: https://joepeacock.bandcamp.com/ #IndieMusic #NewMusic
I also play in an #AltFolk duo called The Missed Trees with Louisa Davies-Foley https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087470291448

A screenshot from a slack conversation about stand mixers with @aliettedb in which I endeavor to do mental math on a 75% hydration bread I make all the time...

#solidarity for #dyscalculia and everybody else dealing with a #LearningDisability.

End the stigma. We're everywhere.

(Whups, had to redraft, sorry!)

Happy 75th birthday to @mencap_charity. To mark the occasion, the charity is highlighting the UK's misunderstanding of people with a #LearningDisability and the negative impact this can have on a society #Mencap75
