Stop calling things re*****d. You're not cool. You're not edgy with nostalgia. You're an asshole who hates autistic people. Just admit it.

A detailed breakdown of how distress is caused by the cumulative effect of multiple environments existing within a broader ecosystem. Building on Luke Beardon's golden equation, this is the ecosystemic model. #EcosystemicModel #MentalHealth #ActuallyAutistic #autism #AutisticWellbeing
An Ecosystemic Model of Distress, Power, and Mismatch
Distress does not originate inside a person like a faulty circuit or a chemical spill. It emerges when a person is required to exist within an unsupported bodymind, within mismatched immediate environments, and within larger systems that hold power over access to care, safety, credibility, and resources. This matters, because where we locate distress determines what we try to fix.

Dies anyone know of any support groups for #Neurodivergent people with #Cancer ?
Katie Munday@kmunday.bsky.social · 9mo agoDo we know of any support groups for neurodivergent people with cancer? Also, groups for carers and relatives around this area? I'm thinking prostate cancer specifically but will take any and all groups and resources. This is to help a member of our community.
This blog houses the full research report from my SCDTP-Funded internship within local substance use services: Making Substance Use Services More Accessible to Autistic Clients #AutResearch #Research #LivedExperience #SubstanceUse #Recovery
Enhancing Accessibility in Substance Use Services for Autistic Clients
This report examines the accessibility of substance use services in Portsmouth for autistic individuals, emphasising the need for tailored environments and continual staff learning. It highlights systemic barriers, advocating for ongoing neurodiversity training and the adoption of the SPACE framework. The findings show accessible care is achievable through collaboration with autistic communities.
