That's interesting, I wonder what the best words for it in German are, I know many languages don't have the neurodiversity affirming vocab in the same way as others.
Excited to see our research featured on Quarks Dimension Ralph! Great to see our work on neurodiversity getting out there. @cjcrompton.bsky.social @suereviews.bsky.social #Autismus #Neurodiversität

3 people on stage - 1 brown woman and 2 white people (one in a wheelchair), in front of slides saying 'BSA SocRel Chair's Response Day'
We did it! @renasha.bsky.social and I hosted a highly successful Chair's Response Day for the BSA Sociology of Religion study group at King's College London and online with an exemplary line up of speakers for both academics and practitioners!

Definitely! Was a great day 😁
Two people of a stage with a PowerPoint slide behind them with the words: Disability and social injustice in the UK 4.7 million disabled people in poverty; 600,000 children. Two thirds of households at food banks are disabled. Disability related extra costs £1,010 per month. 2 million people have long COVID. 42% of deaths of people with learning disabilities are avoidable. 2,015 autistic and learning disabled people in mental health wards. Austerity- "shirkers and scroungers" media narrative. 434,243 waiting for social care assessments/care. "Human catastrophe"
Some scary statistics from @naomijacobs.bsky.social
