it does more harm than good to prop up the myth of the ‘neurotypical’ who completes tasks cheerfully with no issues. this #person is a #capitalist #fantasy. the more you define yourself in comparison to this myth the more you justify #social #structures staying the same with minor accommodations to the ‘exceptions’ and the continued #pathologizing of discomfort under #hostile #conditions

@actuallyautistic Well I got a reply from school today. Director reports that staff have met, and will be taking better care to better contextualize and avoid #pathologizing my son’s behavior. Promise made. Promise kept? Time will tell.
His 1:1 started yesterday. Observing for low but will probably start working with him next week. 🤞🤞🙏

Expecting me to accept the violation of ny human rights is insanity. Literal insanity.
The first time #Rumsfeld explained the process of #pathologizing a desire to leave an #abuser I was 5 years old. He of course used Black history and women"s rights struggles to do so.
Even at 5 I understood how sick he was. 'I'm a Blackhole, you can never fill me. I just consume." He told me as he justified molestation, enslavenent, trafficking. He "died peacefully" they claim. #pandorasbox #pandora

@shaun mmm… the part I diverge from here is the power #dynamic. Doctors and administrators have it. So I don’t grant them much sympathy. They place themselves in that position. When #advocating, it’s to offset that power and remind them there is a human being they’re passing judgement on, #pathologizing.
Any #doctor or #administrator that loses sight of their #power and #perspective builds ire credit with me, and a debt of #trust.

Any #attraction a cis man feels to me, a trans woman, is framed as a character flaw and a red flag. That attraction is #pathologized and #stigmatized even by my own "#allies" and "fellow" #queer and #trans people. 2/3

I genuinely don't know which I find more frustrating, the way I'm treated as a #trans woman for being #attracted to any cis man, or the way any cis man is treated for being attracted to me. 1/3

Son’s been getting easily #escalated at #school and problem #behaviors returning rapidly. Expecting another #rejection in form of #placement #referral. Got #meds appt with #hmo and hope to #moderate the escalations (#anxiety, #stress). I pray it’s enough, because even the happy and supposedly helpful #NPS has gone straight to #pathologizing behavior and not talking about causes. #actuallyautistic @actuallyautistic
