Wonderful start to my first day actually wearing my @parallellifestyle @wearebam #purplesockday socks: listening to Prof Ben Simmons talking about the personhood of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and seeing that the gorgeous sculpture made by someone

Today in under a minute, from hail to pod cocoon, and along the way I finished a rough draft of my work on autistic experience in research and managed, due to an act of amazing serendipity from an online friend, to find a journal that might be interested in it, exciting for me.

Love this! I'd been wondering how to 'sock-fluence' for #PurpleSockDay in honour of #IDPwD but people have been reaching out with ideas, drawings and today: in song!

It has got dark, so far I have managed to change trains and ride the tube without losing the wheel, just one more change and then a hike in the dark to find my car and I will be home.

I will be minding the gap a lot today!
I have to do the tube as well, it is going to be exciting even if the weather doesn't get me.

There's loads of great advice about how to do research, books and books of the stuff. Some of it worked for me, and some of it didn't. I had to find my own autistic way of doing stuff. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
By doing this I could make being autistic an analytic

Scarborough here I come! I left home just after 7.30am, aiming to be in my hotel room by 6.30pm.
Looking forward to exploring the impact of the senses on behaviour tomorrow. :-)

This short video clip describes so well the familiar experience of internal shame and self-judgement so many of us feel when our cognitive and/or social capacity doesn’t meet the demands of a situation @jo3grace.bsky.social
"When I can speak, I feel clever, and when I cannot speak I feel foolish, and these feelings are my own internalised ableism."

The two films I released yesterday are the start of the big stuff from the #phdlife. All that studying you saw me do, resulted in 4 findings. Yesterday's films were about the first one: Intention.
