Via Trauma Geek and Occuplaytional Therapist:

This explains why allistic (non-autistic) children who have been through trauma can display some of the same behaviors as autistic children do.

This correlates with why “functioning labels” (like “high-functioning”/“low-functioning”) are actually just descriptors of how inconvenient the autistic person is, through the lens of the person describing them (not through them describing themselves).

This backs up why I feel like questions like “is this really ‘sensory’ or is this just ‘behavior’?” are so nonsensical, because children don’t behave some way except that that’s the way they’re feeling. If they’re feeling upset or hurt or attacked, whether emotionally or physically or sensorily, their neurological response is going to be the same and their behavior is going to be rooted in protecting themself from that.

[Image description: A series of tweets by the username @KHandozo, Kristen Hanley Cardozo, who also has the hashtags #COLA4ALL/#CopsOffCampus in her username.

The tweets read,

“One of my autistic kids just walked in and was like, ‘Huh, I just thought of this, so I haven’t thought this through, but the behaviors most associated with autism are things autistic people do when we’re upset.’

Not great, society.

She described a situation in which neurotypical parents were asking autistic adults questions and some parents were like, ‘My kid doesn’t have meltdowns. Does that mean he isn’t autistic?’ and autistic people were like, ‘No, that means he’s happy.’”

She then adds,

“Just want to highlight this:”

with another tweet quoted in her reply. The quoted tweet reads,

“We can’t distinguish autistic behavior from trauma because our current society produces no un-traumatised autistic people.”

The quoted tweet is by user @geeoharee whose username is “What duck?”

5th January: Nigel Thrift

This is our Vice-Chancellor, Warwick Uni's boss; bosses in general are awful, scooping up hugely disproportionate amounts of resources despite being no more vital than those who clean the floor, getting paid a premium for extracting as much work for as little money from their workers. Nigel Thrift has the added hypocrisy of pretending that, far from being the class enemy, he is actually a lefty.

After police exercised extreme violence on students Thrift put out a lying, manipulative statement calling on the idea of 'community' to defend his vision for the university (privatisation, shit wages, and turning a seat of learning into an outsourced, consumerised, marketplace) and casting the opponents as a tiny violent minority (ignoring the 1,000 people who turned out to support this supposedly reviled activist minority) - this seems rich coming from a manager, the ultimate unaccountable and violent minority.

Thrift spend over £100,000 over a 3 year period on travel, awarded himself a £42,000 pay rise in a year of real pay cuts for many staff and this year has increased his pay packet further.

Thrift's marketisation of Warwick, and complicity in the Russell Group's ongoing support for making education twice as expensive, is in stark contrast to his academic work. This work includes critiques of the very policies he is now pursuing.

This blog post provides an excellent outline of Nigel's Marxist academic work, and his decidedly non-Marxist management practice.

Kristen Hanley Cardozo #COLA4ALL/#CopsOffCampus on Twitter: "One of my autistic kids just walked in and was like, "Huh, I just thought of this, so I haven't thought this through, but the behaviors most associated with autism are things autistic people do when we're upset."" / Twitter

"...we can't distinguish autistic behaviour from trauma because our current society produces no un-traumatised autistic people...."

"Many disabled people oppose person-first language, which assumes disability to be a negative characteristic rather than an identity. Many disabled people strongly identify as disabled..."

"One of the problems of only identifying disability in its negative is that we miss all the ways we could be helping disabled people to thrive. I'd love to get help to keep from floundering rather than wait until I AM floundering."

Anyone else going down to the Cops Off Campus/Defend Education national demo in Birmingham? It looks like it'll be pretty good and it'll be nice to see if we can get the student movement to coordinate (particular in light of coming loan book privatisations). If you're there hmu, I'll be the weird guy in a green jacket with the Unite flag.
