Neurodivergent grief is not like neurotypical grief, in several ways
For instance, a lot of neurodivergent people found the social expectations of grieving difficult to navigate
The study looked at remembrance (constancy and echophenomena)
The study also looked at grief and identity (including the relief of late diagnosis and masking)
Echothanatologia: repetitions centred on death (Mair et al. 2023)

The research here takes a trans diagnostic perspective, permitting co-occurring conditions, and values lived experience
It uses an eight-step approach to content analysis (Mayring 2022), and looks at social media posting (across six platforms) on loss: disenfranchised grief (378), bereavement, secondary loss, grieving things, Covid loss and pet loss (55)
Main way to cope with grief is taking time

Now on to Ally Mair, talking about Autism and grief
CW for this talk: grief and death

we all speak in grief
dying is universal
Some good things remain...

Woke up this morning with these words coming to me. I know someone needs them. Grief healing is a process and I am honored to be a part of it for so many...
*I thought it pared perfectly with my night cosmos flower.

We all deal with loss. I had to cope with much death from a very early age. My grief work is sacred to me. I write and create art to comfort. Every day I get emails from people touched by what I do. Many make me cry. It's my honor to do this work...

I've written extensively about grief, and grieving, from my perspective on my blog. I even spoke about Ecological Grief at Green-Wood Cemetery.
I wrote this index in preparation for that event. It lists all I've written, grouped by topic.

2/n I moved to the East Village - one of the epicenters of the epidemic even within NYC - in 1979. I was 19. I came of age as a young gay man in all of that, through the 1980s and 1990s. I had my dark times. I'm amazed I survived.
One thing that doesn't get recognized and discussed enough is endurance trauma and Complex PTSD for those of us who survived.

💯 Noone was unaffected. And I appreciate that you didn't say that everyone was affected the same way. I just don't like to leave things out there that others less knowlegable might misinterpret as there are only ancestors, and not also elders, who have something to say about that time.

Shit man....grief hits at the most unexpected times. I start #grieving and I don't even know that is what is happening to me. #awareness is what I desire.
My dad, who passed away a few days ago, had a chest tattoo depicting an eagle flying infront of the sun. And while remembering this detail I began to draw and somehow the eagle turned into a phoenix holding the sun (egg)? Grieving is a curious thing. #drawing #grieving #phoenix #art

My graduate student Roman Palitsky and I published a new study demonstrating that not only does blood pressure rise during a wave of #grief, but those with the most severe grief have the the greatest increase. If you are #grieving, be sure to have your regular physical, especially if you have been neglecting #selfcare and focused on #caregiving

Grieving -- The Key to Healing Trauma

It has been a rough ride for me with multiple phases of the estrogen kicking in ever since I started HRT (estrogen).
I feel like now after about a year on E I am getting another one of those emotional rushes. It is a lot.

#HappyMothersDay to all the other Mothers out there who’ve lost a child.
We know it’s hard to answer the questions, “How many kids do you have?” and “How old are your kids?”
We know how hard it is when someone says, “They grow up so fast.”
We know.

*I consider my grief work a calling. When people tell me how it has helped them in their healing journey, I feel honored.
