Neurodivergence and Normality: The Need to Challenge Fraught Terminology - ZNetwork
Ever since I have come to understand I am neurodivergent, more of the world has opened up to me. I now understand why I found certain environments so
The termĀ neurotypicalĀ is frequently used to describe theĀ other. The term provides a target with which to level criticism against. This is not dissimilar toĀ homophobeĀ orĀ racistĀ orĀ misogynist. When seeking measures of equality and acceptance, it is crucial to have a label for people that are the problem. Names for the oppressor help to ease cohesion, prevent in-fighting, build enthusiasm, and drive momentum forward, picking up social and political capital. These are all good things and would not be necessary if everyone was receiving the respect and understanding they deserve. The downside is that theĀ otherĀ is caricatured and subject to picking up as many stereotypes as the person seeking equality. Perhaps even without intention, an us-vs-them mentality is established, which questions the likelihood of future integration. Unlike white on black racism, neurotypicals are not actively seeking to oppress the neurodivergent; the major problems appear to be ignorance and stigmas and an unwillingness to change the status quo. Neurotypicals, for the most part, do not identify asĀ neurotypical, which undermines the movement because as far as the rest of the world is concerned, neurotypicals do not exist.
At some point, all activism must lead to a pragmatic assimilation into the status quo. In order for this to happen an unambiguous and broadly accepted terminology must be present.Ā Autism,Ā ADHD, and other personalities need to be seen as normal and human, and thus inclusion is necessary and obvious.
During the diagnosis, the person is deemed to beĀ in need of care, after all, they are now theĀ patient. But even after many years of good therapeutic habits, the person is still considered to be in need of care and liable to others ā€“ a liability. A diagnosis also implies a deviation fromĀ healthyĀ orĀ normalĀ and will become a defining feature of the medical record, which will always make other people question if the person is healthy or normal in the present. A mental health diagnosis can become a sinister stigmata, because there will always be doubt over whether the person is normal or healthy ā€“ in some cases preventing relationships before they can even start.
In a world of traits and spectrums, it is likely that many allists will also share autistic traits, such as being comfortable with routine, or a level of fatigue when it comes to prolonged eye contact, or having a somewhat obsessive private interest (in allistic speak, these would be hobbies and pastimes).

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) Misconceptions
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) Misconceptions
I recently saw a video that touched on pathological demand avoidance, also commonly referred to as PDA. Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is a pattern of behavior in which we go to extremes to ignore or avoid anything they perceive as a demand. Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is most often seen in people with autism, but certain traits also have been seen with people with ADHD and other sensory processing disorders. In this video I will talk about what PDA is, why it's often searched with ADHD and autism, strategies that can help those with pathological demand avoidance, and what it's like living with PDA. Do you or someone you know live with PDA? Share about your experience in the comments. Here are some signs you might have PDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uq1n8UQ3hc What is high functioning autism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxpEQY-yiOk Misunderstandings about autism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVCjTpZl98Y 0:30: šŸ§  Understanding the challenges of Pathological Demand Avoidance in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. 4:11: šŸ’” Understanding the challenges of individuals with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) 8:24: šŸ§  Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance and its impact on individuals with sensory processing challenges. 12:59: āš™ļø Strategies to cope with PDA: reverse psychology, preemptive actions, role-playing as a character. 16:23: šŸ§  Understanding and managing pathological demand avoidance through creative strategies and autonomy.

Do My Dreams Mean Anything? A Philosophical Look at the Unconscious Mind
Every night, we leave the grand tapestry of intricate details that make up our daily lives and travel into a completely different world. Our dreams can certainly be wild, utterly nonsensical, and seemingly completely divorced from ourselves and our reality. However, since ancient times, dreams have held a special status across many different cultures. [ā€¦]
