REVIEW: "This work will become a seminal work in neurodiversity theory.. that helps to resist liberal neurodiversity perspectives and language that do not fundamentally contribute to improving the lives of all away from the neurotypical norm." @DrRJChapman https://t.co/1IH3eVTyKL

[Lisanne Meinen @lisannemeinen]

For anyone also getting tired of all the neurodiversity-affirming language without the follow-up of actual material changes, this is a truly empowering read!
(4/4)

[Lisanne Meinen @lisannemeinen]

(2) A strong and useful critique of the individualizing tendencies in (parts of) the anti-psychiatry movement
(3) A grounding of existing neurodiversity theory in an explicitly political (anti-capitalist) and historical materialist analysis
(3/4)

[Lisanne Meinen @lisannemeinen]

The book provides some excellent and fresh perspectives on neurodiversity and anticapitalism. Some of the main contributions of the book:
(1) An intellectual and materialist history of the pathology paradigm and its critics
(2/4)

My review of @DrRJChapman's 'Empire of Normality' on #neurodiversity and #anticapitalism is now online!

My IPA study was recently published with the SJDR! https://t.co/n76WwjSWjW

I discuss what it means for someone to play an educational videogame that communicates to outsiders a vision of neurodiversity that also represents (parts of) their lived experience

[Gaming the Mind @gamingthemind]

Some games try to convey the experience of mental health conditions or neurodiversity to outsiders, but how do people with lived experience feel about them? This study interviews autistic people and people with psychosis or OCD, after playing such games.

✨My first paper on #neurodiversity and #videogames is now out in Games and Culture!✨
How to better understand neurodiversity through gameplay? I analyze Unravel and Celeste and argue for reorientation to attunement.

Voor mijn interviewstudie ben ik op zoek naar mensen met (ervaring van) OCS/OCD. Voor vragen of aanmelden ben ik bereikbaar op het e-mailadres in de flyer!

[Neurodiversity and Games @NDandgames]

Our countdown has started! 🗓️ Friday next week we will meet at the University of Antwerp and online to discuss #Neurodiversity and #Games. Registration is still open and free of charge! 👉 https://t.co/I8rYwoTtsl

[Lisanne Meinen @lisannemeinen]

This morning I had the great pleasure to be part of one of the @itdfproject panels of the Engaged Phenomenology conference in Exeter @BritishPhen

[Cat Fischer @Cathrin_Fischer]

@lisannemeinen ends with a fascinating proposal of what it might mean to create video games that enable attunement towards neurodivergent experience - in contrast to disability simulations, attunement is conceived as a feeling-with the other's experience

Looking for #neurodivergent #artists/#illustrators! For a symposium on Neurodiversity & Games (Sept'22) we’d like to #commission artwork for poster, socials & website purposes. Get in touch here or DM for email address. Proper financial compensation. Spread the word! @NDandgames

[Lisanne Meinen @lisannemeinen]

@jiayingsim @QTemporalities @MyOwnVelouria Likewise! Thanks for your presentation, I'm going to think more about the genre of adventure games as opportunity for slow gaming.

[Lisanne Meinen @lisannemeinen]

Today I’m presenting at the @QTemporalities conference. I will take up @MyOwnVelouria's critique on empathy games and discuss crip temporality as an affective mode that allows us to connect with characters that are experiencing mental illness. Looking forward to the panel!
