Nominally neurodivergent, definitely deviant, possibly parenthetical. Seeker and truth-sayer. Discontented. Got a corpse in your mouth? I'm coming for you.

@JPSalomonAI @naomicfisher Can you please provide details of empirical studies that show where and how the brain malfunctions or develops in a way that causes ADHD?

[Discontent_Creator @Discontent26741]

@BillyCrawford05 @naomicfisher I used to think that. The more I've reflected though the more I think diagnosis just allowed me to excuse myself (by blaming illness instead)

UK ‘an outlier in Europe’ for letting Farage and other politicians present TV shows

@Arbeitologist These judgements contrast LMs character and associations against AEs politics. My genuine question is: why the mismatch?

[Sam @SamCKx]

This guy utterly dismantles the populist politics of Reform and Restore in 90 seconds. It’s actually quite beautiful.

Take decades of deep-rooted problems in Britain and convince people that a relatively tiny proportion of the population is responsible for all of them. Housing, the NHS, crime. Blame illegal migrants for everything.

Suddenly, you don’t need credible solutions to the housing crisis, NHS waiting lists or crime. You just need increasingly extreme policies on immigration.

And by the time people realise you never had meaningful answers to the vast majority of Britain’s problems, you’re already in power, handing out tax cuts to your donors.

@pash22 @CorteseSamuele The false dichotomy of neurodiverse v neurotypical is the antithesis of inclusion. It sets 2 groups, the normal (non-ADHD), and the abnormal (ADHD) + without a shred of physical evidence assumes the cause of abnormal behaviour is abnormal brain function.https://t.co/ydUqonE2jN

Using ‘neurodivergent’ as a catch‑all term is problematic: here’s why

@xmaximus242x @stimimi Can you please post a link to this research? Thanks.

[Discontent_Creator @Discontent26741]

@Be_like_legend Please will you provide details of the research you are summarising in your post? I'd like to read it.

@anon_opin I used to work with the guy who came up with that slogan. He was a twat.

Therapy helps but let’s be clear. You can’t CBT your way out of capitalism. You can’t mindfulness your way out of racism. You can’t self care your way out of oppression. You can’t journal your way out of ableism. This isn’t about coping, it’s about deconstructing the systems.

@AjaTheEmpress 2/2: I emailed the HoD saying if my student had been black and the prof. had said "it didn't help that his accent was like a Jamaican Yardie" HR would have taken action. The Hod agreed but said there were no grounds for action

[Discontent_Creator @Discontent26741]

@AjaTheEmpress 1/2: I worked at a top 10 UK University. One of PhD students was assessed at the end of his 1st year by an Oxbridge-educated prof., who failed him on spurious grounds. When I objected, his email back said "it didn't help that he's got an accent like an east end barrow boy"

In my latest @PsychToday post, I examine @AwaisAftab's attempt to rescue psychiatry on pragmatic grounds after conceding longstanding critiques of its foundations.

I argue the defence fails—and it leads not to reforming the psychiatric paradigm, but to moving beyond it.

@RecoveryDoctor So do you consider drugs trials registers to be pre-emptive ad hominem attacks on researchers?

@JRBneuropsiq You make it sound so easy. What is your secret?

[Discontent_Creator @Discontent26741]

@JDaviesPhD Do you think? I don't know what the evidence says, but my guess would be that self-doubt and lack of confidence in one's own abilities would be the primary consequence. More general experiences of anxiety, I imagine, are driven more by other factors such as social comparison.

[Discontent_Creator @Discontent26741]

@JDaviesPhD To me, the weirdest thing about the literature on the social unconscious is that it's very existence and marginal status confirms that many analysts conceive of an unconscious that isn't already social
