How stigma can affect the physical health of a person with #ASD and/or #SMI. Aggressively dismiss their pain as 'psychological'.

@SGV_UK @RITB_ I think many,including MHPs , would doubt the reality of my situation. The sizeable gap between intellect, and adaptive functioning.

@SGV_UK @RITB_ At one point it was a toss up as to whether I'd be in a group home,or a long stay ward.

Recovery in the Bin
All the psychologists and other mh professionals who rail against medical model and deny illness would gain much more traction with survivors if they showed more interest in challenging attacks on the welfare state...

@LastBlairite It's a bidirectional thing. Individual Jews being wrongly blamed for the actions of the Israeli government. Individual Palestinians for the actions of Hamas.

@Autistic_Lauren Due to a poor sense of direction I get very anxious about going to unfamiliar places on my own. The fear of getting lost is very high.

@DrAnnieHickox As someone who is in the vast relatively overlooked 'middle' I have mixed feelings about the Neurodivergence movement. I struggle to identify with it. Or more accurately the 'movers and shakers' within the movement .

Dr Annie Hickox, Clinical Psychologist/Neuropsych
The Neurodivergence movement is patient led, and not to be confused with neurodiversity (the term erroneously used below). MHPs need to be more respectful to patients who are struggling without the support and services they need.

Introspection in collectivist cultures is where the spiritual element orientates a person away from a self-focus and towards a sense of connection with the wider universe, in order to diminish not feed the ego. The neurodiversity trend does the opposite.

They just pluck figures out of thin air. No one knows how much someone is entitled to claim because it is based on individual circumstances. Also, where's my free public transport? 🤔
James@jcsession

@DAVIDPO62726639 @BlokeOnWheels She will get 11k from PIP then about 18/19k from universal credit on top which will cover her rent etc. Plus she won’t have to pay for medications, free public transport, limited council tax etc. I sometimes wonder why tf I’m still working 50 hours a week

@DrAnnieHickox What has helped you? For me it's been very life restricting. Quite severe social anx runs alongside it.

@DrAnnieHickox Especially if I have to anything new. I never seem to learn from things going better than expected.

@DrAnnieHickox 'Catastrophic thinking in Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a cognitive distortion where individuals habitually assume the worst-case scenario will happen, often overestimating threats and underestimating coping skills.' Sums me up very well.

It's an increasingly hyper Herculean task. I thought things would improve when McSweeney was ditched. I was about as wrong as any person can possibly get.

Trying to square the circle of someone whose image is that of a decent person,but is perfectly willing to make more disabled and/or vulnerable persons poverty stricken.

Fast forward to now, and my adaptive functioning is far less than my IQ. Unfortunately for over 40 years it was regarded, by MHPs, as proof of a 'character defect'. Hence there was much criticism, but sod all essential help and support.

Although I had that very high IQ, I was far less independent than the average child and teenager my age. Asynchronous development?!

@DrAnnieHickox I was 5 - 6 when my 1st school in Bangkok recommended I be assessed due to difficulties I had. What was then the 'S' word was suspected. Results from testing at Gt Ormond street were negative. There was no looking into possible alternatives...
