Kayla Aces the Diversity Test: She Found A POC Immigrant of Catholic-Upbringing Culture! For our first-ever entirely bonus episode, we put ourselves to modern day's litmus test: identifying how many intersectional checkboxes we can scratch off, in our own lives and in the lives of those poor Barbies. With today's guest, Mariel, she is essentially a token person: she speaks of moving to America from the Phillippines, we compared the Barbie movie to life in America and life as immigrants trying to live the American Dream, and we took a sharp right turn into an article circling social media: "The Autism Surge: Lies, Conspiracies, and My Own Kids". We go off on the Neurodiversity Movement, Disability Activism, and how anyone could possibly think autism is a superpower or a gift. Well, only the most privileged people.Please email me with any questions, comments, or concerns! theangrybehavioranalyst@gmail.com (I need a new email address, don't I... :-) )

If you fell in love with Love on the Spectrum's Sweetheart, Kaelynn Parlow, you are in for some spunk, some insight, and some perspective on how her life has changed since filming. While her fame is certainly an aspect of her life that she has grown accustomed to, she has unique perspectives on the delivery of therapy for populations diagnosed with autism, including her views on the Neurodiversity Movement, if autism truly is a 'gift', and if SBT/My Way is the end-all, be-all of treatment.Follow Angry on Instagram @theangrybxanalystCheck out Angry's services at theangrybehavioranalyst.com

Our understanding and acceptance of Autism has evolved over the years towards a greater awareness of what we call neurodiversity - broadly, the idea that each brain is unique and what used to be considered "disorders" are not at all, but rather reflections of these uniqueness with their own strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, we have also learned how valuable early intervention is for longer-term outcomes. But how can this be? If we aren't "fixing" anything, why the need for this intervention? Joining me is Dr. Lauren Franz, the director of Duke University's Center for Autism and Brain Development, for what I hope you will find to be an enlightening and important conversation.

It's pretty often I receive emails from professionals and clients within therapeutic fields, but the email I received from today's guest sat with me a bit differently. Matthew Crome, an adult with autism, reached out to me a couple of weeks ago to discuss his thoughts on the Neurodiversity Movement, some criticisms of how certain groups perceive autism, and challenges he faces as a Registered Behavior Technician diagnosed later in life with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Without giving it away entirely, here's what we will say: Autism is definitely not something many adults diagnosed with it consider to be "superior".Follow Angry on Instagram @theangrybxanalystCheck out Angry's services at theangrybehavioranalyst.com

At the forefront of the Neurodiversity Movement are Autistic people who are advocating for their own rights. This is an exciting time, as there are more ways for even nonverbal communicators to find their voices through visual and augmented means like social media. I cover the definition of an ASD diagnosis, what this can look like in small children, why it is hard to diagnose in those under 3, and the differences between language development in girls and boys with ASD. I touch on "masking" and "gestalts", which will be future episodes.

Lucy Kross Wallace is an accomplished writer and sophomore at Stanford University who has written about her disenchantment with the neurodiversity movement. In conversation with Jill Escher, Lucy tells about how she was diagnosed with Level 1 autism at age 18, after years of severe mental illness and failed treatment (she prefers the term Asperger Syndrome). She found autism a useful framework to help her understand herself and enable her to exit the hospital and enroll in college, and the first year at Stanford she found camaraderie and meaning in the neurodiversity movement. The neurodiversity crowd featured much black-and-white thinking but it felt good to her to be crusading against the ableism of the world. She explains how neurodiversity is part of a larger critical social justice movement, but found it was not aimed at “justice” as she understood it. Lucy felt her life on Tumblr was a bit of a performance but she is no longer on social media, she considers it a mental health risk. Lucy thinks the diagnostic scheme for autism does not reflect actual functional realities, and asks what is the unifying factor for autism? “We need multiple labels, it's hard to talk about when ‘autism' means so many things.” They discuss the postmodern roots of the idea that language constructs reality, a driving force behind neurodiversity tropes, and the bullying of parents by online activists.

It's time to take the ‘dis' out of disability. VIA's DiveIn platform covers the most pressing topics in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and this summer, we're proud to partner with Boomerang Agency to ignite an industry-wide movement for Neurodiversity. An estimated 15% of the population is Neurodivergent - a term covering Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette's syndrome, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia and more (and this is most likely a low-ball figure). Neurodiversity is a part of our genetics and evolution as a species – it's part of what makes us so special. But, according to psychologist Dr. Devon MacEachron, under the current medical model, neurological differences are considered to be dysfunctional, disorders or disabilities. And this is reflected in under-representation of neurodivergents in the workplace. In this campaign, we reframe neurodivergent attributes as strengths, such that this community can thrive in whatever context – not the least of which is the workplace. So join us in conversation with project initiator and creative powerhouse Danielle Yaor. Finally, be sure to join us for the rest of this campaign! We'll host our Metaverse* Neurodiversity Pride Day event on June 18th (in collaboration with the Neurodiversity Foundation), and continue with VIA fall Neurodiversity programming at VIA (think: speakers, art, food & drinks).

Rhonda Moore is a medical anthropologist in her early 50s. After self diagnosing as autistic in 2019, she was formally diagnosed the following year. She spent her childhood in Chicago, USA, and now lives in Bethesda, Maryland, where she is Program Director in Global Mental Health at NIH (the National Institutes of Health, the main US government agency responsible for public health research).  She has a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Stanford University and postdoctoral fellowships from Stanford Medical School and the University of Texas, and has published four books, with a fifth – about mental health equity – on the way. In our conversation we talk about: ➡ Intergenerational autism ➡ The impact of growing up autistic in an abusive home ➡ Autism, trauma and resilience ➡ The intersectionality of autism, gender, age and race and its impact on marginalisation and health ➡ Being neurodivergent at work, disclosure, accommodations and career progression I hope you'll get as much out of our conversation as I did. Content warning: During this conversation Rhonda shares her childhood experience of domestic violence, so if this is something you don't want to hear about, you might choose not to listen to this episode. Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I'm Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I'm now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn't quite fit.   EPISODE LINKS: Rhonda's Twitter: https://twitter.com/skyymoore Her LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhondamoore/   If you'd like to connect or get in touch with Squarepeg, you can find me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/squarepeg.community/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/squarepegautism  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/squarepegautism/  Or on my website: https://squarepeg.community/    THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS!

The Neurodiversity Movement is gaining momentum from academics and those suffering from the stigma of being diagnosed as different and disabled. Is there another way that society can view individuals with different styles of attention and communication that will foster awareness, inclusion, and appreciation of those differences? Psychologist Dr. Emma Girard joins our exploration of this topic and the practical considerations of a more accommodating society.

In this episode, Nicnac reflects on what they took away from the wonderful conversation they had in the last episode with Antony Ruttuno and tries to grapple with their own human failings. They talk about what they learned from finally finding Judy Singer's work and what they think this means for themselves and the political Neurodiversity Movement at large. They mention that they have started to look further into George Harrison and confess that their search for knowledge and their creative expressions are merely coping skills of extremely varying value. Concluding that, like any human, sometimes they are wrong. Credits The opening music is Raindrop Rhapsody by Josh Eikenberry. The closing music is Catch Me If You Can by Attica Attica.

The Neurodiversity MovementOn episode 2, I discuss the neurodiversity paradigm and the social justice movement associated with depathologizing neurodivergences. In other words, I talk about why society needs a shift in perspective around autism and ADHD with the help from a November 2020 interview with Nick Walker, PhD on Liebertpub titled “Towards a Neuroqueer Future”.There's a LOT of information packed into this half hour, which serves as an overview/crash course to familiarize listeners with topics that will continue to come up on the podcast and honestly, topics I want you to be aware of whether you're neurodivergent yourself or know/work with/parent/teach somebody who is. I also introduce an idea I have that perhaps antivaxers could pivot to neurodiversity advocacy, which may not be the hot take I think it is but shared just in case ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Plus, commentary on the upcoming Color The Spectrum fundraiser and why neurodiversity advocates are NOT happy about it (#nothingaboutuswithoutus!!!)Thanks for listening! And thank you for being

A very good friend of mine speaking all the way from Tel Aviv Israel, Chen 'Globetrotter' Gershuni has had a huge, invisible influence on the planets autistic advocacy through his tireless and selfless translation work as much as becoming a major hub of positive self advocacy. Chen is renown the world over online and is a regular on the UK's Autscape event. He is also a musician and player of the stick. Look 'em up.He's a brilliant man and a lot quieter and smarter than me. Which of course is saying a great deal, etcetera. I caught him in his living room.During the podcast you will hear a reference to a man called Jonathan Mitchell being interviewed on a YouTube channel that I name as Autism One. In fact I got the name wrong. It was the Autism Live Channel. This interview is worth seeing on account of the sheer paradox that Mitchell presents in platforming himself as an autistic person who stands against anyone being positive about their autistic natures. When he himself clearly presents as someone who can work around the limits of his autistic nature, as he sees it limiting him.Now, what he refuses to acknowledge is that others can have equally valid but different opinions. The eerie inability to stop seeing his opinion as the ONLY one that should be seen and believed in life. The total inability to concede and see anything in the arguments and statements of others.Mitchell is a full time troll who relentlessly criticises anyone on mainly Twitter that he disagrees with. He has had substantial mainstream media coverage and cannot understand that he represents a schism in the greater Neurodiversity Movement that he both rejects and considers himself not to be part of. I see the term Neurodiversity Movement as a metaphor. Not a card carrying organisation. Notice also, the way that he uses the term Neurodiversity Movement as he wants it to be seen.Mitchell is actually part of a visible, online group of what are clearly his close personal friends. A phenomena he keeps saying that he cannot have or enjoy.https://youtu.be/X9zD_RK6-swWhat is weird is that Mitchell states how much he has been attacked and insulted, without any reference to what he's been doing to people. Even when they did not know. He's rather fond of relentlessly criticising people who have blocked him and have no idea he's doing it.Poor Jonathan is a fine example of how in the world of social media, people do not seem to be able to understand that their ideas and statements can be seen in completely different ways to how they think they should be.The Autism Live channel is a very dubious thing. The presenter was found by me in one episode, staring in awe at Andrew Wakefield and Del Bigtree, his Dr Goebells, doing their usual material on how the vaccines their own bodies were doubtless full of (certainly Wakefields if not Bigtree. His zealous preacher parents may not have had him protected) were potentially dangerous and even lethal. This film is no longer findable. It appears to be run by the C.A.R.D or Centre of Autism and Related Disorders, the boss of which appeared in the Andrew Wakefield paranoid conspiracy theory medical science fiction film Vaxxed 1.

Funny too.Of German and Phillipino ancestry, growing up in the UK, the USA and the Netherlands.Ria has a BSc in Experimental Pathology, an MSc in Forensic Science, and a PhD in Viral Bioinformatics. She worked as an IT Forensic Investigator for the Serious Fraud Office too, so don't try anything funny online with her.Ria is a winner of the EMMA (Ethnic Multicultural Media Academy) award, She is known for her television appearances in The World Stands Up, Mega Mela Malai Comedy and Sweet n Sour on BBC3. She has been an Edinburgh Festival regular which is how come we could discuss the Free Fringe and the people we mention. Tricity is a friend of ours and a brilliant performer in her own right, who kind of brought us together (It was her Bluestockings Cabaret we were both doing things upon. Oooer..)SUBSCRIBE TO RIA'S PODCAST - RIA LINA'S BEHIND ON ITUNES AND EVERYWHERE.I see Ria as yet another example of how autistic people, once diagnosed and immersed into the greater Autistic media and metaphorical Neurodiversity Movement, become clearly defined in their opinions and politics about everything NeuroDivergent. It seems to be an organic thing.COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK? GuerillaAspies@outlook.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/guerilla-aspies-autism-aspergers-syndrome-neurodiversity.

Judy Singer first coined the word Neurodiversity while writing a sociology thesis on the rise of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Movement at the University of Technology Sydney in 1998. In her thesis, Judy foresaw that a broader movement would emerge as other neurological minorities followed in the Autistics' footsteps. She therefore proposed the idea of a “Neurodiversity Movement” as an umbrella term for all of them as they strove to end discrimination caused by negative stereotypes.
