Do you regret your vote? Who did you vote for?

Alisha Geary @blindonelives.bsky.social · Mar 7

Can’t seem to get over the fact that my elderly great grandmother who lives on social security checks voted for the very man that wants to get rid of the very thing she lives on.

Often, in females, ADHD is misdiagnosed, or even missed entirely.

Halo-Halloween, MLS 🇵🇭🇺🇲ℹ️👻 @infoandhalohalo.bsky.social · Feb 21

Yes. And this is the case for #ADHD, too.

Not only are medical professionals less likely to take us seriously as women, too many of them dismiss the neurodivergent atop that.

Don't get me started on the powers that be with the USian Federal government. 👇🏼

Just to clear up a thing:
You are going to continually see grown women come out as autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent. Before you decide they're "just doing it for attention," I'm gonna tell you some things you don't know.

1. There is no social benefit to disclosing our autism. Literally none. People call us liars and talk about us behind our backs, or start treating us like children and think we're incapable of being adults.

2. Pursuing a formal diagnosis as an adult woman is expensive, and women are verifiablely less likely to be taken seriously by medical professionals. So until the classism and sexism in medicine is fixed, you're gonna need to STFU and accept the self diagnosis of women.

3. As long as the only diagnostic model for autism is based on nonverbal, preschool aged, white boys, an enormous group of people with autism are not going to be correctly diagnosed. Until that changes, you're gonna need to STFU and accept the self diagnosis of marginalized people.

This is really interesting. You have to have ADHD for real to want to learn everything about it. lol!

I make the argument that neurodivergent people make great leaders.

ADHD meds have been a controversial topic for years but the truth is, if they help people, and they’re successful about it, leave ‘em alone!

I’ll never stop saying that education needs to be inclusive of everyone.

The DfE has updated its SEND guidance for school governing boards.

Highly recommend reading. Includes signposting to some useful additional resources & a checklist for governors.

Some people have other reasons to work from home. Why is it so important that they come back after 5 years of everything being just fine working remotely?

Alisha Geary @blindonelives.bsky.social · Feb 24

Because life, and why not, I guess. 🤣

Alisha Geary @blindonelives.bsky.social · Feb 24

I can’t believe people are claiming that it means other ridiculous other things. This country is done for.

It’s this stuff right here, the reason I am the way I am about disability rights.

This! Compatibility and complicity. Publishers. Tech & software contracts, school boards, competing tech companies. PDF. I called everyone in my state Ed Dept & was ultimately told by the head of two state ed boards tech and disability “what do you want me to do, it’s just 1% of the population”.🤬

McGraw Hill’s educational software often lacks compatibility with assistive technologies, hindering students with disabilities and violating federal accessibility laws. Demand equal access to education.
