Flourishing with Acceptance by Kristy Forbes

[@strawsofftheneurodivergent4221]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR MESSAGE. THANK YOU. I am so fed up with the disorder narrative. In Switzerland they are still in the stone age in that regard. All your "behaviour" is pathologized even though, neurotypicals do that too but have no label slapped on them. Just because you have a diagnosis, suddenly this prevents you from getting the support you need.. as it is not regulated by law, but invalidity insurance, and they do a very good job, invalidating you.. When I say what you say to them, then they call it "big potential for resistance" What is it about invisible disability (and sometimes not so invisible) that makes it so difficult to accept it.. and NOT make it as "behavioural" everything. And yes, then you are dehumanized. And what happens then is identity fatigue.

My son doesn't verbally communicate with many people. However if we are at a park or somewhere in public, he will always find his neurokin and it's amazing how they follow each other, play alongside each other and laugh without having to say anything.

This is the first Kristy Forbes KZbin production that I've seen where comments are available All other recordings have the comments turned off. Is that my system, or are the comments turned off by Kristy Forbes or KZbin?

Not by me, Traci.

Please explain the metaphorical meaning of the chopping of the flower and putting it into a verse, as I don’t understand that part.

I dislike the word disability also. Why not say different abilitied? There are many gifts that come with autism. Maybe some of the differences are struggles, but why call it a disability?
