In my #GhostParent interviews, I keep hearing from parents who are 'flying under the radar' - moving and not registering kids for school. So not facing more school trauma. Families are not gaslighted or dismissed, but they are also more isolated. Yes, it seems to be worth it. #PDA #EBSNA #Autistic
Thanks @beckyrwhin.bsky.social - this is a beautiful representation of what I see in my #GhostParent research.
I just re-read Neuroqueer Heresies by @dr-nicky.bsky.social. This time what struck me is how parents of neurodivergent kids are disabled by society. We don't often talk about associative disabling, but this is loud and clear in my #GhostParent research. #autistic #pda #DisabledBySociety
To all the parents whose kids struggle to or cannot attend school, it's Friday. I hope you can find space for a deep breath this weekend. I see you, how hard you try and how much love (and rage) you have in your heart.
