Young man with moderate #intellectualdisabilities tells me he'd told GP trying to put him on meds: "I'm not depressed!I am SAD." He's at last been heard & allowed to change placement.He's so much happier. We'd worked for many weeks on assertion skills, voicing needs/wants. I'm in awe of him #SaLT๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Each critique I hear tops the last - and this one is going to be very hard to beat. WOW. #TelepathyTapes @conspirituality.bsky.social made such a thoughtful, thorough, heartfelt expose - many new insights for me - also calling for contact from anyone harmed or impacted by #FC #RPM #SpellersMethod

I return to this beautiful book again & again as I learn how to write about my own work - the title is old fashioned-yes- but the content is loving, dignified-accepting and respectful - a child growing up amongst mentally ill patients at an institution where her father is a psychiatrist. True story.

The true novelist is one who understands the work as a continuous poem, is a myth-maker, and the wonder of the art resides in the endless different ways of telling a story. Muriel Spark
