I agree. I’m sure there are many factors but for people whose brains aren’t compatible with the way we educate children, school is inherently traumatic. It’s feeling worthless for 7 hours/day. All my childhood suicidal ideation was rooted in school trauma.— Radish Godslayer 🏴🏳️⚧️ (@ByGeorgeIThink) December 27, 2022

@tylerblack32 This aligns with experiences in our communities of neurodivergent and disabled people, where we reframe “school refusal” as “school-induced anxiety”. Bullying is only a part. https://t.co/l9tsUAwscY

Telling someone “you are safe” does not make them safe. All it does it show them you don’t have the range or time or consciousness to SHOW them HOW they are safe. Be consistent in your actions. How are they safe?Show them.— Ben-Oní Indiana (@BenOni_8) December 19, 2022

I never guarantee a safe space. I say this is a safer space or that we will do what we can to make this space as welcoming as possible. But no safe is truly safe, despite the best of intentions.— Aisha Adkins, MPA, CNP (@AishaAdkins) December 19, 2022

Something to remember this Christmas - autistic kids reactions to gifts can be different to expected - this week I’ve been told my kids reactions to gifts are rude. I’ve been asked to work harder to make them behave differently. It seems it’s considered a fault in my parenting.— Ella Tabb (@Purpleella) December 18, 2022

I learned by age 9 that I couldn't talk about suicidal thoughts because I would end up locked in a psych ward. We can't expect people to just "speak up" or "tell someone" in a country where discrimination, institutionalization, & incarceration of suicidal folks is 100% legal.— E Krebs, PhD🧂 (@SaltySicky) December 15, 2022

Personally think it should be neurobiodiversity. I’ve lost count of the times diagrams of differently wired brains to explain autistic being have crossed my timeline. The discourse will always contain an element of neoliberalism if this portrayal continues, imv.— Graham Mead (@twillierod) December 15, 2022
