only children can be true doctor who fans. a 50 year old with a room full of merch is a pretender.

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

yeah, but they’re all reflecting his own words back to him via facilitated communication and reinforcing his daft beliefs. in many ways the facilitated communication madness is a forerunner of stuff we’re seeing with suggestible users and ai!

James Twyman is associated with psychic FCer Grandma Chandra and has been sighted sticking spoons to her head to “prove” that she’s psychic.

There’s a guy named James Twyman who claims he saw psychic autistics literally disappear, they went to a mountain and evaporated in front of him. He also claims to have been part of the Northern Ireland peace process and to have solved the Bosnia/crotia war. Telepathy Tapes is fuckall really.

neuro affirmative doesn’t mean anything! it’s a marketing term! these people are trying to sell you something & probably 80% of the old nd movement was pride in avoiding the people [quacks] who were trying to sell you something

neurodiversity used to be a grassroots, radically inclusive movement fighting for actual accommodations, nowadays it is geared solely to the needs of academics, bloggers and people selling cpd courses. pinbadge activism.

20 years ago there was a neurodevelopmental nursery with salt & ot attached and a dedicated autism ward with outreach education at the hospital

now they’re both closed & we get ‘make a more neuroaffirming workplace’ sessions where some guy who got dxed three years ago talks about dimmer switches

just discovered one of my younger friends# thinks i was ‘in camhs” when i was younger? no, i got thrown in the royal lunatic asylum before deinstitutionalisation was a thing, it’s a different fish altogether

people probably think I don’t know anything about relationships, but I do know that if there’s a man you really want to have sex with trapping him at the top of a big wheel is not the way to go. you cannot fuck him if he’s up there and you’re down here.
