In the United States we segregate knowledge, we segregate wealth, and we segregate housing. The result is our deeply segregated and inequitable educational system. Segrenomics is about who figured out how to turn this segregational violence into a business plan. https://t.co/761gM5fv9M— noliwe rooks (@nrookie) February 11, 2023

We've long felt, from experiences in our group, that the combo of autism + ADHD brings additional MH challenges. New research shows AuDHDers 4 x as likely to experience anxiety & 3 x as likely to experience depression as those solely autistic. https://t.co/Cqzy8PYOtM— Autistic Girls Network (@AutisticGirls_) February 11, 2023

Our directors & board members are all neurodivergent and/or physically disabled. One of us is a power wheelchair user.We live in an age of unvarnished eugenics & mass behaviorism. We serve our loved people so we can keep on living through the onslaught.https://t.co/8HiEGo0dHp— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) February 9, 2023

I think of it this way, FIRE has one face for the courtroom, and another for the culture war from which it benefits, and its historical donor base, status quo center right. Their culture war stuff is often sloppy and wrong, but I've seen some hopeful signs of late. https://t.co/tDGq9uxRMi— John Warner (@biblioracle) February 8, 2023

If my children are autistic or mentally ill or both, I don’t want them to grow up in a world where their humanity is questioned every single day, or where police brutality based on their disability status could end their lives.All the Weight of Our Dreamshttps://t.co/aj6W7h2hcs— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) February 8, 2023

'Black autistics and neurodiverse young people…, there is the invisibility of their neurodiversity and the hypervisibility of their race. So, it's the worst of both worlds….'

#HigherEd friends: I need your input.How would you summarize your understanding of the role of extrinsic and intrinsic motivations in learning? What do those terms mean to you? Where do they fall short? What questions do you have about them?#TheADHDBook— Karen Costa (she/her) (@karenraycosta) February 7, 2023

UGH YES! This makes me think that the backlash against extrinsic ms is justified and necessary AND we kinda through the baby out with the bathwater.— Karen Costa (she/her) (@karenraycosta) February 7, 2023

I wish people wouldn't scoff at "boring".Your "boring" is my survival.Routine. Sameness. Predictability.Minimal sensory input & processing load.Same foods.Minimal spices.Same clothes.Minimal colors.Same places.Minimal travel.Same people.Minimal interaction.#autism— autistictic - #EndAutmisiaNow #StopTheShock (@autistictic) January 28, 2023

I think it's important to understand the influence of behaviorism on how we think about extrinsic motivation, and also the harms ND people have experienced in the name of behaviorism's version of motivation. @stimpunks has some great resources on this.— Alex Shevrin Venet (@AlexSVenet) February 7, 2023

First, the essay owes plenty to @ahandvanish, @LisaAMcCorkell, @EricTopol, and @julialmv, whose recent paper in Nature was a tour de force in summing up hundreds of recent studies about the biological basis of #longcovid, and its historic context in post-infectious disease.— Ryan Prior (@r_prior) February 3, 2023

Today for @openmind_mag, I have a big new essay about #longcovid, #mecfs, and how we’ve surpassed a historic pivot point in the scientific understanding of post-infectious disease. https://t.co/fL0RTJ86Ur— Ryan Prior (@r_prior) February 3, 2023

That dream team of patient leaders and world-renowned scientists, is a model for the future of patient-engaged research. I argue that is the epitome of Aristotle’s “phronesis,” or practical wisdom. Theory meets experience. Their full paper is here: https://t.co/VV7LAZ4sYg— Ryan Prior (@r_prior) February 3, 2023
