chaotic 100 acre woods

Cicadas have an empty, hollow space inside of their body, to allow for them to sing their chorus.

Reblog this on the first of the month for good luck all month long!

Initial General Disclaimer: I do not know any of these authors personally, have no ideas at all to their character, and am not speaking about anything here but the content they make. I do not agree with every aspect of every item, but they have provided substantial direction and foundation for my practice (whether positively or negatively). There is no organization here aside from media types and this is deliberate. You are capable of seeking these titles, reading a synopsis, and reviews. Lastly this list is in no ways complete (I am always learning and consuming media) or all encompassing, as I have very likely forgotten certain items. Use it to do with whatever you wish, I always will encourage buying books second hand and supporting your local libraries.

It's Agender Pride Day, here's some personal art from me

So my actual TEXTBOOK admitted that it was biased and teaching these disorders based on opinion and not up to date research. And, as described above, the section on ODD was basically just, “these are bad kids. We will not look into why or how or what comorbidities exist and we will also not be exploring the possibility of ODD really being a manifestation of trauma/undiagnosed adhd/autism/pathological demand avoidance/persistent drive for autonomy. We will however be mostly focusing on how annoying these kids are to their parents and teachers ✨️”

It’s fucking crazy. “Yeah we know lots of people with autism struggle to follow demands. They may either ignore/not register demands or have meltdowns when demands are placed. They may engage in physical aggression, verbal aggression, and property desctruction when directed to complete tasks or be exposed to uncomfortable sensory input. They may need to know the why behind demands and consequently argue with authority figures. They may be easily upset by sensory input or social interactions and have emotional outbursts when pushed beyond their limits. Some children with autism seek attention and may engage in maladaptive behaviors to elicit the attention of peers and caregivers if positive attention is not given freely/if they are ignored when behaving appropriately. All of these are symptoms of their underlying neurological differences and should be met with compassion and understanding. They are not bad children. Their brains process information differently and therefore they have executive functioning, sensory processing, and emotional regulation challenges that cause these behaviors.

How would you even measure that?

Things adults wrongly identify as arguing:

Asking for clarification

Asking any kind of question

defending yourself

answering a question teh adult has just asked you

breathing

Existing
