this publication is the closest thing I have to neuroaffirmative healthcare
Monks explained: “It’s all those young people on TicTac. In my day, we just got on with it, no matter how loudly the washing machine was screaming at us.”
They didn’t have autism in my day, says man unaware he had autism in his day
A man who claims that nobody had autism “in his day” is reportedly unaware that he both had autism in his day and that the sun has not yet set on his day. Gavin Monks, 65 - who books his car in for…

Absolutely! As someone who works in eating recovery, there needs to be more a neuroaffirmative lens used when working with ARFID

Since yesterday, I'm president of a small and local association on autism. We are neuroaffirmative what's a completely new paradigm here.

Can anyone recommend someone who can assess for #ADHD and provide a diagnosis for a 15 year old! Preferably someone who is neuroaffirmative. Family are willing to travel if needed. They are based in Hampshire, UK.

I have to bring that point up in my upcoming probation meeting, or at least a related one, which is: no more training which is not neuroaffirmative. I’m actually anxious about holding on to my job - but we boast of being a neuroaffirmative practice! 🤷🏻♂️

It warms my heart to see so many #SLTs #SLPs who recognise how naturally diverse language development is & are eager to become more neuroaffirmative

And will still have little to no idea what works to help our younger autistics or women or basically anyone tbh. So yep learn from autistics directly do more neuroaffirmative studies.

My brain is completely fried after 3 hours with a psych yesterday 🤯
Thankfully it's a neuroaffirmative clinic, so I could move/doodle on my ipad etc during it else I'd never gotten through it.
Also - watching my ADHD meds kick in on zoom was the weirdest thing ever 😅

Sensory needs are a huge part of being autistic and affect communication, emotions, focus, and overall well-being—so why is it often treated like a footnote in assessments?

Letter claims DIR is "neuroaffirmative" for autistics--is it really? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... DIR has been widely promoted without its benefits vs harms to autistics being fairly tested & in the literature DIR has the goal of making autistics less autistic or not autistic at all

Yes, and I’m aware of self-described “neuroaffirmative” practices in the public health system which still promote Triple P (and Floortime) uncritically and this worries me.

Neuroaffirmative practice isn’t about being kind or nice, it’s about being accurate.

Auf dem AAAH basiert die aktuelle neuroaffirmative Diagnostik und Behandlung. ABA ist auch nicht state of the art, da bist du noch auf einem alten Stand. Sicherlich wird es nicht angewendet, aber die Forschung ist da weiter als du annimmst. Das Buch wurde btw von AuDHD-lerinnen geschrieben 💪🏻🌞

Today’s team meeting was not great.
I have plans for a blog to deliver content so I might fund a career as an I/DD focused, neuroaffirmative, in-home portrait photographer. Thinking I’m going to need to start a Kickstarter or Gofundme.
Anyone willing to share tips on how to do that?

Yes and I agree with it. Issue I’ve seen is nailbiting and skin biting around nails is treated in same way as repeatedly headbutting a hard surface or biting and puncturing skin: with behaviourist principles! Neuroaffirmative practice abandoned at first opportunity. I want to combat that.

I want to talk about neuroaffirmative action in the workplace on LinkedIn because I am really passionate about it but then that would expose my company for not doing a single thing so where does that leave me lol

Fellow late-diagnosed autistics...
Let's remember that a childhood autism diagnosis does not necessarily mean someone received good, neuroaffirmative support.
Listen to those who say their childhood diagnosis facilitated mistreatment, diagnostic overshadowing, discrimination.
