I'm not particular (at allll) about nuances of language where Mia is concerned. So much of that is subjective, and it's difficult to know what language is appropriate when the standards seem to vary based on person and context. But the one thing I've become a little sensitive…

1/2 "Sensory" is a 'buzzword" in education & #CAMHS. Sensory Ax are requested, though often out of reach for many. Sensory needs meanwhile are matched against checklists; recorded with "hyper/hypo" yet we ignore too often individual CYP voices & variable impact of environments.

I’m also excited at folks trying out the monotropism questionnaire, but I’m also concerned about it being misconstrued. Essentially we wanted to test the idea that there might be a significant overlap between autistic folks and monotropic experience (and questions around ADHD).
