"Valuing people for their skills can mean overlooking their inherent value as a person—one who has every right to exist regardless of their abilities. [Yet] over-valuing certain abilities means looking down on ppl who don’t share them." @ferrousmu.bsky.social: thinkingautismguide.com/2023/02/we-n...

Since reading NeuroTribes, we think of psychologically and sensory safe spaces suited to zone work as “Cavendish bubbles” and “Cavendish space”, after Henry Cavendish, the wizard of Clapham Common and discoverer of hydrogen.

CN: Eating disorders Many factors are likely to contribute to the development of an eating disorder. But research shows neurodivergent people are disproportionately affected. Autism researchers discuss many possible reasons why, @theconversation.bsky.social: theconversation.com/autistic-peo...

Hi everyone. Sorry to start your day with bad news. It's my very sad duty to inform you all that @stevesilberman.bsky.social , my wonderful husband and best friend, passed away last night. I'll have more info later. For now, please take a moment to remember his kindness, humor, wisdom, and love.

I'm shocked and deeply saddened to hear that Steve Silberman has died. He made such a difference to so many lives, and I have no doubt that his work will continue to do so even if he's no longer here to see that.
