A must read article about #AI detection tools and how #ableist those are, and the very negative effects it has against #neurodivergent persons like #Autistics and #ADHD.

Teachers must especially read this!

I've been getting a lot of questions lately about whether symptom X or behavior Y is a sign of ADHD. I don't like answering this question, everyone is different.

However, I would like to link to this comprehensive self-test, which I think is very successful

(Thanks @Jay16K for the hint)

Note: You'll need an account on the website to access the test.

Thought it was time I posted these again... They also apply a lot to the neuro-diverse ADHD and autistic communities, as there's a lot of crossover with introversion.

A long overdue #Introduction.

I take #CreativeCommons photographs (Mostly of #Nature) which I contribute to #WikimediaCommons and when appropriate also to #iNaturalist. I've uploaded over 20,000 photos to #Wikimedia and over 12,000 observations to #iNat (of more than 3,000 species).

I only post my own photos on this account (all of which are #CCBYSA) and make occasional posts about Wikimedia and iNat.

If I see #ableist comments and the context/explanation they themselves provided 100% points to #ableism, instant block from me.

I've dealt with such people offline and they will never meet you halfway even if you make the first step. They're a total waste of time.

Subject: Autistic ‘black and white’ thinking.

It's framed as a deficit often seen in autism, but... is it that simple?

Autistic people are traditionally criticized for our inflexibility, or cognitive rigidity.

But I think this isn’t the whole picture.

To start with what we know, here are ten things we autistic people generally have in common (refs at the end of the thread):

Many autistic adults shudder when recalling school memories.

But why do autistic people suffer so much at school?

Historically, it’s been framed that a) school is above reproach, and b) there’s always something wrong with the child who doesn’t manage, and not the environment.

Some are starting to question that.

Is empathy political?

Kia ora all, I've just started a really cool new job at the end of last year as a tutor for Brain Play! We teach STEM subjects to groups of kids, and do 1:1 tutoring of #neurodivergent children too.

I'm AuDHD, so I empathise so much with the kids I get to work with.

Kind of an #ad but I really believe in the cause and am not being paid to share this, so there's that 😉
