Alistair Stewart Samei Huda BaldyBane💙🌹😷🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙💜 my article here is very sedgwick inspired both in terms of its method and focus, so if you like the article you'll love sedgwick.

Alistair Stewart Samei Huda BaldyBane💙🌹😷🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙💜 yes sedgwick is key especially for understanding the british context

gepsychologiseer.nl That's why we do studies with millions of people - to try and see past individual variability to overall trends. High heritability does not imply simplicity in relations b/w genes and symptoms

Studies like this consistently find extremely high heritability of autism. Will this overwhelming evidence that it is a *genetic condition* receive any coverage? Of course not, because we're distracted by microbiome nonsense...

sloth communism I’m sorry to hear that cuts in services impacted on your brother and he died because of them. One of these days I hope that people who are trained to do psychotherapy get more experience working with ASD people who have a SMI or other problems that have them seek/need therapy.

sloth communism Yours is the first non-fiction book I’ve gotten more than 30 pages though in years. Really enjoying it — the insidious reactionary turn of anti-psych & the corollaries of neurodiverse & trans struggle have been much on my mind and I’m gratified to find these critically engaged.
