As founding president of the #Neurodiversity Activists and Graduate Studies Senator of the 90th Student Government, I want all my #neurokin who’ve survived #ABAabuse to know that I #AmWriting a #NewYearsResolution to #AbolishBehaviorism and transform #Minnesota State #Mankato (formerly Mankato Normal School) into a #neuroqueer university wherein, to quote #queer #Autistic scholar @DrNicky, there will be “no such thing as neurotypicality, no such thing as a ‘normal mind.’”

This will require converting the #neuronormative #capitalist enterprise into a #WorkerOwned #cooperative that, as Walker told Dora Raymaker in 2021, “accepts and welcomes neurocognitive differences in experience, communication, and embodiment in the same sort of enlightened way that a cosmopolitan individual accepts and welcomes cultural differences in dining habits.”

New instance, new #introduction !

I'm a 30-year-old #queer #nonbinary genderflux/xenogender babe, #stoner and #AntiFascist anarcho-communist. I have #ADHD and am #neurodivergent looking for my #neurokin and queer #ChosenFamily.

I like #meditation, #health and #fitness, #psychadelics #technology #sciencefiction

Not sure exactly the focus of this blog yet but I needed one that was more personal than the account I have for my tarot/astrology readings. May go private eventually.

Oh, also looks like I have maybe managed to make me an irl uni-friend.

As a adult, with this little in-person classes!

Went to my exam today and was aporoached for contact details, feels pretty nice after many years of basically alone / with family. She is also #neurokin, which probably explains it. #adhdWins

Hi folks, I really recommend following @GeorgeJulian a journalist who posts about the treatment of #autistic people and people with #LearningDisabilities in the U.K.

This is a #HumanRights issue. It’s really important we recognise how our #neurokin are being cared for.

Go find out more and boost some of their posts.

#Disability #Disabled #Autism #Humanity

Words are insufficient to express my multiply #neurodivergent sensory experience

But "November" by #MaxRichter certainly does it justice

May my #neurokin listen and rejoice as they relinquish their adherence to #neuronormative performance

@ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic see, this is why I love being in the autistic community here on Mastodon. So much diversity among the #Neurokin !

If you don’t apply #feminist standpoint theory to #neurominorities, you’re not a feminist; you’re complicit. #Neurodivergent people who’re well-versed in the #neurodiversity paradigm are the experts on the long-discredited pseudoscientific ideology that is behaviorism, not the #academic behaviorists who reap the rewards of the multibillion-dollar ABA industry and are, to quote Alicia Broderick and Robin Roscigno, one of “four different networks of players” that make up the marketplace of the #Autism Industrial Complex. Just as the #FeministMovement was (and still is) complicit in perpetuating the #WarOnRace and the #WarOnQueerness, so, too, is it guilty of perpetuating the #WarOnNeurodivergence. I’m burned out and sick of seeing contradictions in terms like “feminist behaviorist.” For there’s no such thing. What’s the point of pursuing a degree in, say, #Gender and Women’s Studies if, in order to get it, your department forces you to do things that’d make bell hooks roll over in her grave? For those of you who feel super self-conscious about not getting into your dream college or post-graduate program, as somebody who’s been in graduate school for three years, let me assure you that there are scores of people in #academia who couldn’t think themselves out of a paper bag. That’s precisely why they got in, because they’re obedient. Hence the complicity. What disappoints me the most is when my own #neurokin offer their support, only to turn around and betray me. #SilenceIsViolence

Listening to #adhd podcasts and there was this:

"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."

~John Steinbeck

Thought I'd share this with my #neurokin. Oh how this resonates at least for me. Hope I can learn to do this.

@sparkes @lou_de_sel I've seen #NeuroKin used on the bird site, but it sounds too much like #OtherKin and #FictionKin, which are spiritual beliefs.

Be your awesome self #autist #autistic #ActuallyAutistic #neurodiverse #neurokin #neurodivergent

@schratze Right?? Its amazing how many ND people there are here. Always very cool to find our #neurokin
