Whenever I have written about my perspectives on autism, especially when I said for years that I believed we would eventually discover that ā€˜autismā€™ is not one thing, itā€™s likely to be many things that we have lumped into one ā€˜disorderā€™ to pathologise people - I have been trashed and even had complaints raised against me.

I have always said that the skyrocketing self-diagnosis and adult diagnosis of ā€˜autismā€™ was likely to be completely different from the children born with significant disabilities and care needs due to ā€˜autismā€™.

Anywayā€¦

Iā€™ve somehow managed to p**s off some psychologists tonight by pointing out that the concept of a psychologist is socially constructed and the qualifications and registrations required to be a psychologist differs in every country in the world. I also said that having a protected title doesnā€™t actually protect clients and vulnerable people - especially as so many of the regulatory bodies are concerned with protecting the industry and the reputation of their own.

Anyway, should probably shut up now šŸ˜‚

Thatā€™s not a diagnosis though, thatā€™s symptoms.
And they both essentially mean the same thing.

This is how women get gaslit with medical misogyny their whole lives and never actually get to the bottom of anything.

Oh of course! That makes total sense!

I hope, at the very least, I am role modelling and teaching how to stand up for your beliefs, values, and your ideas. Itā€™s not easy work, and it involves being brave enough to stand up and get pelted with abuse and criticism 24 hours a day for years - but not everyone can stand up - and so, if we can, it is our duty to do so.

End pathologisation.

NEW STUDY FINDS BRAIN SCANS CAN FINALLY DETECTā€¦

Absolutely zero mental disorders - this is actually a picture of walnuts. But you thought it was brains, didnā€™t you?

Admit it, you thought it was brains. Would you have even checked if I hadnā€™t have told you? How would you even know?

And social media is swamped with fake images of ā€˜brain scansā€™ with ridiculous claims that we can now scan for everything from narcissism to ADHD - despite us having absolutely no diagnostic brain scans for a single ā€˜mental disorderā€™ - and most of the images have been knocked up in adobe or altered to look more scientific or colourful so you believe anything you are told.

I donā€™t know about you, but as a psychologist I am sick to the back teeth of posts like: ā€˜Hereā€™s a normal brain - and hereā€™s an (insert label here) brainā€™ - and all it is, is a downloaded random scan of a brain - one blue, one yellow - or one small, one photoshopped to be bigger - with a million likes.

Neuromyths and fake brain images are everywhere - and no one even checks anymore. So many of you are misled every day by accounts on here and even in training courses using BS images of brains. Keep your eyes and mind sharp.

Enjoy your walnuts. Love ya. šŸ˜›

Do people really think we stop learning the moment we walk out of university?

That the rest of our lives are just some kind of intellectual retirement home where weā€™re only allowed to recycle whatever niche we wrote our thesis on?

Are we only allowed to speak on our thesis forever?

Because if thatā€™s the case, then academia has failed us all.

And if thatā€™s the case, I call bu****it.

My new article is here :)
