Bewerbungsgespräche mit Autismus ADHS AuDHS
Was ist eigentlich das herausfordernde an Bewerbungsgesprächen?
Für viele im neurodivergenten Spektrum ist es schon ein Erfolg, überhaupt eingeladen zu werden. Dein Bewerbungsanschreiben sollte „deine Handschrift“ tragen. Gehst du offen mit deiner Neurodivergenz um? Schreib das auch rein. Ja, in meinen Bewerbungsanschreiben steht drin, dass ich autistisch bin. Wenn du direkt und ohne Umschweife Sachverhalte formulierst, 1/x

1/8 The Role of Neurodivergent Individuals in Ancient Africa 🧵
For the past 3 years, I’ve been speaking with Fula, Mandinka, and Yoruba griots within my family and researching the role of autism, ADHD, & neurodivergence in West Africa; beyond Western labels/DSM. Neurodivergent individuals have played vital roles across societies, & ancient Africa was no exception. Many African traditions/spiritual practices honored unique minds, seeing them as integral to community life. Sharing a small part 👇🏾

I am inundated with Instagram ads telling me that “ADHD is not laziness, it’s a trauma response.” Well actually, it's neither! These falsehoods are so popular, yet so wrong.
The Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory (CATI) is a self-report inventory of autistic traits developed in collaboration with autistic people. CATI-R (revised) “provides a revised trait inventory that resonates with actual autistic experience, along with guidelines for creating self-report measures that are sensitive, accessible, and non-stigmatising.”

Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your own presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement. Alice Koller It is commonly held that autistic people are lonelier than non-autistic people. This is believed to be […]

Find Your Voice is a family-driven initiative created by a team of neurodivergents: Designer Dad Steve, Early Years Educator Mom Tara, and their daughter, Miss A. Based in Melbourne, Australia, our journey began with a need—our daughter often experiences situational mutism, especially in high-stress environments, and we wanted to help her communicate more comfortably.
Autistic People's Experience of Empathy and the Autistic Empathy Deficit Narrative | Autism in Adulthood
Background: There is a dominant discourse, both in clinical texts and throughout the academic literature, that autistic people lack empathy; however, over the past decade, both clinicians and academics have increasingly rejected deficit-based descriptions of autism in favor of more nuanced explanations of the experience of autistic individuals in a social world. Methods: This study asked 76 autistic individuals about their own experience of empathy and the oft-cited empathy deficit. Data were thematically analyzed and revealed a wide array of empathic self-concepts among respondents. Results: Notably, there was a high proportion of hyper-empathic experiences. Many respondents reported their empathic responses to be overwhelming, or even distressing. These different experiences of empathy contrast with societal expectations of empathy, which often result in additional labor for autistic people as they navigate the non-autistic centered world. Conclusion: Although the academic literature is, in some areas, slowly moving away from a deficit perspective, more broadly there is still a negative impact from misconceptions around autistic people and empathy. Further work needs to be done to not only explore this misconception at a societal (rather than academic) level, but also better bridge the gap around the changing ideas of empathy and real-world understanding of autistic empathy.
