Autistic people, especially autistic children, may not realise might not know that they don’t have to push on through pain if they are told to do something and it hurts. The literal interpretation of 'try your best' is often to keep going at all costs.
5/5 @DivergentSLT @WFarahslt @ian_cushing @vishinair5 with sincere thanks to @KimMears1 for sharing 💜 Real food for thought here for so much of what we do as Speech and Language Therapists, and a framework for asking the questions to help our profession engage with this journey
4/5 "For multiply minoritized students, they (hegemonic ideologies of language) chart a dehumanized educational journey plagued with bottlenecks to access, detours to academic growth, and lowered expectations for learning."
2/5 "The latter (SLT) is particularly relevant as these authorities also can determine what is acceptable or unacceptable when the linguistically objectified set of structures produced are perceived as unintelligible or fail to adhere to a particular set of idealized criteria."
1/5 Rethinking SLT @RCSLT @RCSLTLearn @RCSLTResearch @ndasltcen "In a system that positions minoritized students as subjugated, the ultimate entitlement to ownership of a language/way of languaging is held by the teacher or SLT." pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20… & researchgate.net/publication/37…
For us on the left, elite capture of anticapitalism has to be a top concern. Capitalist institutions are masters at co-option, and the only real alternative has to be one that is deeply aware of how institutions work, and how they can be overturned and destroyed effectively.
I have highlighted this bias by some mh system critics, commonly Szasz supporters, even recently: they compare the help on offer (e.g. pills) with an ideal situation in their mind,not with a real alternative. The real alternative they offer is no help at all, unless you're rich.
Great article by @DrRJChapman! Could be that for Davies,being clearly not poor,it's difficult to understand why people would take pills rather than come to a clinic like his a few times a week. It's an odd irony that his clinic's help appears to be only available to the well-off.

NEW REPORT on SIM, 'Criminalising Distress', shows police are still embedded in mental health services, and other coercive, punitive practices continue, despite NHS England’s 2023 directive for them to be ‘eradicated’. #StopSIM medact.org/criminalising-…
Very important read for all in mental health "The systemic conditions which enabled SIM – entrenched coercive mental health care practices, behaviourism, neoliberalism and the stigmatising ‘personality disorder’ construct – remain intact". Calls @NHSEngland for apology + action.

1/4 Time is all too often a commodity in health, education & care; all too infrequently a medium in which to mutually explore, listen to & respect human experiences. Time is not just something to be counted; spending the amount of time with each person that they need counts more.

i don't speak about this much but my older brother, who was autistic and had schizophrenia, died one christmas morning due to tory cuts to services. to many of us, the way writers and politicians legitimise such cuts is not a twitter debate but a matter of life and death.
Day 5 : Sammy lost his life 4 years ago today 26/4/20 & my heart is forever broken💔 A pure soul who made our world a much nicer place. He should have been protected like I begged & begged. This is one of his last calls to me. My darling Sammy, forever loved & missed, Mummy.

It is entirely wrong that SEN children start off their young lives and educational journey being subject to any inequality. It's the start of insidious messaging that suggests that they have to accept lesser consideration and being set apart from their siblings and peers.
One son had their mainstream school place confirmed yesterday, the other son still awaiting P1 SEN placement confirmation. They are equals in my eyes, why not yours @Ed_Authority @SENreformNI @KateNicholl @BelfastLive @StephenNolan
@halfironmum @Mayz131 I can't get my head around why neurodevelopmental conditions have only been included historically in the child and adolescent and LD psychiatry curriculum. Autistic adults exist.
This. So powerfully poignant from @CommonSenseSLT #FlipTheNarrative 💜
1/4 Time is all too often a commodity in health, education & care; all too infrequently a medium in which to mutually explore, listen to & respect human experiences. Time is not just something to be counted; spending the amount of time with each person that they need counts more.
Just spoke to 136 people at an NHSE webinar about the importance of having perinatal mental health care past 12 months. This was really key for me so I was so pleased to be able to share my story
@sparkycaro Why would you make the sign for crab harder? The proper BSL signs are much better and easier.
@sabpNHS 👋🏼 tell me what’s a parent to do to actually get a call back that’s now been promised on several occasions? #AskingForMe #CAMHS #CAMHSInCrisis @HealthwatchE @CareQualityComm @surreylive @bbchealth

In our new paper, 63% of the autistic adults who were currently experiencing #AutisticBurnout (n=76) said they'd had thoughts of suicide or self-harm in the previous 2 weeks. So important to explore this relationship further. doi.org/10.1002/aur.31… @AutismINSAR @OlgaTennison

Disability discrimination is evident when children with disabilities are denied school placements that their non-disabled peers receive. This inequity emphasises the need for systemic changes to ensure equal opportunities for all our children, regardless of their abilities!
