Everyday I’m reminded that this world is not built for the neurodivergent. Some days, like this one, come with heavy, soul beating reminders.
I’m tired. I’m sad. I’m worried.
Show kindness. Celebrate neurodiversity in all forms. Be better.
This thread will show you that nature always reclaims what humans leave behind
1. MS World Discoverer was a German expedition cruise ship. It hit a uncharted reef in the sandfly passage, Solomon Islands 29 April 2000.
My 9 year old has made a word by combining ‘collapsed’ and ‘combined’ to describe what happens in some of his video games.
Collumpsed!
When he explains it to me, it sort of makes sense.
Raising kids with disabilities in world where people/groups won’t even attempt to include them is beyond hard. We spend an unfair amount of time and energy on trying to help them fit in spaces not built for them.
It’s also tiring being angry about it.
PSA - if you’ve raised kids who think it’s ok to use the R word to make fun of neurodiverse people, you’re a terrible human being.
On a related note - having to explain to my kid what that word and the associated gestures mean is equally terrible.
@aTiFdAwOoD@DailyBroncos They have to be under the cap before the start of the new league year (13th). They aren’t permitted to make trades before that day. The only way to cut cap space is to cut players, unfortunately.
Unpopular opinion:
Parents of neurodivergent children shouldn’t have to be born into parenthood ready for a bloodbath fight to get their children basic human rights.
Children have a right to an education, this does include those who need extra supports.
Underfunding
If you don’t have to remind politicians and stake holders to remember your kids….
If you do not have to keep reminder educators and admin and supports your kids deserve better…
How lucky you are.
Kids with disabilities need a seat at the table too!

I like to celebrate by watching my favourite Bill Murray movie, Ghostbusters.
