Narratives of Neurodiversity Network

We are the Narratives of Neurodiversity Network. We like to talk about #neurodiversity in art, culture, poetry and all forms of creative expression. We'd love for you to join in. Find us on Discord, and please spread the word!: discord.gg/rjGPqPAGma

I am beyond delighted and proud to announce that my student Sarinah O'Donoghue passed her PhD viva, entitled 'Narrating Autism: New Critical and Theoretical Directions for Reading Narratives of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Movement', with flying colours this morning. It's great.

with running the salons, but we are currently not in a position to be able to do the planning side of things. Please let us know if you'd like to have an informal chat about this with no obligation to take this on if you don't feel comfortable. (2/2)

NNN notice! We are seeking a 'Salon co-ordinator'/admin to help organise our monthly reading/watching/listening groups over coming 6 months or so. You wouldn't need to chair the sessions unless you want to - and the other admins will provide support (1/2)

Attention autistic students!

@commaficionado @joannelimburg @laurenancona @neuronarratives @thefutureisnd @kieranrose7 Looking for book recommendations to give to a 7yr old NT boy to help him understand his 4yr old ND brother with ASD. He is wonderful & v protective of his younger brother. Many thanks

With a @NdHumanities mentor, we could talk about PhD anxieties, specific challenges for neurodivergent aspiring scholars, strategies to try avoiding burnout, disability support, conference etiquette, emails (!), unwritten expectations, setting work boundaries, research slowness,

Starting to think about my mentee application for @NDHumanities so we're making a list of things I'd like to discuss with my potential future mentor, things we could do together maybe, etc. And I thought I'd share this also perhaps to chat with others thinking of applying 😇

Our very own @LouiseCreechan welcoming folk to the launch of the @NdHumanities network funded by @NNMHRmed #NNMHR2023. Find out more about the network & their innovative mentorship scheme here ndhumanities.com

@DrRJChapman We do something like this in @neuronarratives

@DrRJChapman We did this in the @neuronarratives a few times and it was lovely. ‘Show and tell’ sessions.

We’ll have a Zoom link available in the next few days. For access, DM us on here, or visit our Discord channel

Hello everyone! We’re back online to announce that we’re hosting a Salon this Friday (24th February) at 5pm (GMT). It’ll be a casual one, where we’ll be discussing what we’ve been reading/watching/listening to lately. New faces are welcome. Hope to see many of you there!

Birkbeck is home to many neurodivergent people having their second chance, following their dreams when other what you might think of as 'traditional' higher education institutions didn't see or appreciate their potential.

interesting reflection on a fab network, discussing 'the creative and emancipatory possibilities of an online neurodivergent‐majority space that prioritises peer support, mutual aid, and community formation'

@her_doing There’s been a slight delay in setting one up, but it should be available in a few hours, so we’ll get it over to you then!

Join us tomorrow at 5pm (GMT) for our salon, where we’ll be discussing Lucy Maude Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables! Head to Discord or DM us for the Zoom link. Hope to see many of you there!
