In a conversation with an #OccupationalTherapy grad student months ago, she was telling me about her doctoral research project, which was how climate change may affect homelessness. Which led me down a rabbit hole of research questions we need answers to 🧵
If I had a lab in the community, and unlimited funding, I would be interested in digging into these:
Using geocoding and claims data what can we learn about ICD10 codes for weather exposure -related diagnoses?
How are occupations engaged in shelter or transitional housing settings in the summers vs the winters?

Today is 100 days since I was first admitted to hospital after taking a mixed overdose. I won't elaborate further.
Since then I have had 3 admissions; 2 to general wards and 1 to a #mentalhealth unit. I spent time as an informal patient and also detained under Section 3 1/21
I was under #Crisis services until last week...
Today is also the first night in 99 that I am spending alone, so to occupy myself and acknowledge the 'milestone', I thought I would reflect on 10 things that I have learnt in that time...
This comes with trigger warnings 2/21
As I will be speaking about #SelfHarm and #Suicide. I also apologise in advance for any poor grammer - I am typing this out on my phone, unable to use a key board.
These are just my own experiences/thoughts/opinions - they are not meant to be generalised. Nor are they based 3/21

Still reflecting on a Grand Rounds presentation by @TaraLaguMD last week on people with disabilities as an unrecognized health disparity population. And how there needs to be systemic change, with attention to detecting, understanding, and reducing. #DisabilityPolicy

⭐ Parent Blaming & PDA ⭐

THREAD:

Unless you have an #autistic child with #PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) - it's very hard to fully understand the difficulties & complexities of day to day life - both for the parents/caregivers & the child
Please don't rush to judge - parent blaming is such a toxic yet common & sometimes automatic occurrence
It takes a little more effort, but pls take the time to listen, understand & remove your assumptions - when you come across a seemingly 'bad' parent.
There will always be a reason why a parent may appear to be 'too soft' towards the child;
Why they're not 'disciplining' their 'naughty' child.
Not every child responds well to 'traditional' parenting & due to the #PDA child's extremely high #anxiety, other approaches are needed

Spent this morning reflecting on the findings of my scoping review in relation to @Carolynne_OT's models of occupation in these two papers. Looking forward to meeting with her this afternoon to discuss.

Inspired by this gem of a question (pardon the pun) for mental health services wishing to create welcoming work environments staff with #livedexperience:
"How does your workplace shine a light on the sharing of lived experience? What shadows are cast?"
Thank you, @Carolynne_OT!
Metaphor is based on @Carolynne_OT’s model of occupation from the second paper in this thread.
