If you haven't checked out the website in a bit, be sure to take a peek!

This is hopefully the last update for a few months while we get everything rolling

next phase will be to chop it up into multiple pages but we don't have time for that right now, we need to write reports!

back to the grind 🫶🏻

big milestone today in the practice launch and it is feeling so good to be this far along

looking forward to scheduling clients soon! going to be so much fun to get to put all these cool systems I've been building to work to help made the boring part of my job fully automated (w/o AI)

fellas, it's spooky to be leaving "regular employment" into self-employed solo private practice!

I underestimated how spooky this would all be

My partner said something great though

that I've made a big leap
& I'm mid-air

when you make a big leap it's always scary

& then he says "you'll land" 🫶

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

what I find most sad, and what Mr. Robert Roberson brings to mind

how many of these "murders" weren't murders?

just tragedies
sad stories made worse
compounded by miscarriage of justice

a single dad
disabled man
Deaf & Autistic
woke to find his daughter blue

happened to him
could happen to you

delayed emotional processing

physiological differences in emotional displays

double empathy problem

over-explaining, giving the police leverage

frozen up, casting suspicion

i won't call out any specific docuseries cuz armchair diagnosing but SO MANY ACCUSED end up being accused cuz of the above
audhd-psychnp.com
how many people have been wrongly accused of murder simply cuz they didn't grieve the way the cops expected?

how many of those people were in shock, alexithymic, flat affect?

how many Autistic people have been scapegoated for murders they didn't commit?

Rhetorical. It's more than we'll ever know.
audhd-psychnp.com
Anderson County Judge Bascom Bentley, who sentenced Roberson to death in 2003, authorized Larry Bowman, Nikki Curtis’s maternal grandfather, to remove his granddaughter from life support

This judge's ego is not worth Mr. Roberson's life

he did not murder her
cuz there was no murder
free Roberson!

in 11 days, Robert Roberson is scheduled to die by lethal injection for the murder of his daughter who wasn't murdered but just died tragically after being a medically fragile kiddo, struggling for a long time

everyone agrees: she wasn't murdered

so then WHY is this Autistic man scheduled to die?
Robert Roberson thanks his supporters from death row as they rally at Texas Capitol
Roberson, 58, is set to die by lethal injection in Huntsville in less than two weeks, marking the state’s third attempt to execute him for the death of his...

Autistic poetry
mistresscaution.myatproto.social
I had no Tylenol during pregnancy,
so it couldn't have caused their autism, you see?
why my kids are autistic
is much more simplistic
it's cause their dad fucked me.

if I may? (a reply from a stranger in fall)

It is time to hold close
To find shelter from a multitude of storms
Both natural & imposed disasters
which rage on

We must also rage on
& wait out storms if we cannot fight them

Survival can be lonely

I am glad that you are here 🫶🏻

(a poem from the summer)

Emotionally I feel terrible
I feel trapped in this house by vengeful gods,
gods that hate that I choose myself
Unapologetically.
Just like I choose myself,
I choose freedom.

more seriously, Autistic poetry is a beautiful act of rebellion and resiliency building

be they silly or serious

I would love to hear all of them

autocorrect and AuDHD didn't turn out so well with Mel's pronouns and there is no edit function

Mel's pronouns, last I knew them, were sie/hir
audhd-psychnp.com
and so once again *taps sign*

we oppose cure

#NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

so say we all
audhd-psychnp.com
Autistic people oppose a cure to autism and I have a hard time reconciling why that isn't the end to the conversation about it.
audhd-psychnp.com
I CAN appreciate a msg that I don't speak for Mel & those with more similar skill profiles

AND that message only serves to try to silence or diminish my attempt to echo Mel's message!

& when Mel's message is "PLEASE DON'T KILL US or prevent us from being born"

& no one listens

I'm not ok w/ that
audhd-psychnp.com
I can appreciate the msg that the less conspicuous of us can NOT be talking over those who struggle more evidently & speak less

but no one listens when they tell us, either
no one listened to Mel
sie died due to neglect by our social systems
in a society that disbelieved her capacity

we failed Mel
audhd-psychnp.com
Mel said:

the people who might get the most pity from the oligarchy
lives eugenics would have us extinguish
whose struggle is evident to all

they ALSO oppose a cure

Mel, a picture of what the orange oligarchy fears & loathes

sie said clearly: we oppose a cure

(it's not just loudmouths like me!)
audhd-psychnp.com
The kids here might not know about Mel Baggs (sie/hir) who radically changed my understanding of cognitive function

In the early 2000’s, I thought Mel’s YouTube may be a hoax. I was an ignorant twit.

We know better now re: nonspeaking individuals but when Mel & I were young, sie was disbelieved.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

Well, but Mel Baggs told us some of what people who speak less may feel:

"it’s not only the speaking & less conspicuous of us who reject the idea of cure"
