With autistic pattern recognition, you often know what can be expected in world events, because you recognise the patterns. Then curiosity and confirmation bias makes you seek reinforcement. But it's all too awful, so it just remains theoretical, and when it actually happens...
You're still shocked like everyone else, even though you saw it coming.

I think I have reached the point where I am prepared to recognise that the bad things I saw coming since I was a child probably will happen in my lifetime after all -- and worse.
Because all the people who could really turn things around are not focusing on the reality that glaciers have melted, the poles are melting an entire continent is on fire and we are in the grip of a drought right here with animals dying daily, but we're talking about Boity's bum.

There’s no point anymore in trying to persuade them to care. All that remains now is to show those who do care that the ABAI is a despicable institution, and that membership and adherence to its code of ethics is merely a pact of honour among thieves. tania.co.za/global-autism-…
tell me you won't allow this to happen in your country. That you will fight against this torture being rolled out where you are. tania.co.za/aba-state-fund…
People say that in the autism industry, there’s “good ABA” and “bad ABA”, and one shouldn’t write off an entire profession based on a few bad apples. OK, so, let’s toss out a few bad apples so that we can get down to the good ones. tania.co.za/bad-aba-and-go…

[THREAD] I want to tell you about Spelling to Communicate, a method for non-speaking autistic communication that I helped to bring to South Africa along with Nicola Sowah (a speech & language therapist) and Luli Carillo (mother of non-speaking autist Leonardo).
Spelling to Communicate (S2C) teaches individuals with motor and sensory differences the purposeful motor skills necessary to spell to communicate. Motor skills progress along an increasingly complex hierarchy from pointing to letters to typing independently on a keyboard.
The goal is to achieve synchrony between cognition and motor.

#Thread on how Modi functions.

Key: He does not read any material before taking decisions. Translated from his interview with Madhu Kishwar in 2014:
“Three or four days after I took office, the chief secretary came to me. He brought a heap of files this tall (gesturing about three feet high). They must have weighed 15 or 20 kilos. The peon left them on my table.
The chief secretary sat and said to me: ‘This is the file for Narmada’ — I can remember Narmada but there were three other files also.

#thread on the perils of workplace knowledge-hiding:

"firms with a high-trust environment, where employees can collaboratively and transparently share knowledge, gain stock returns two to three times higher than the industry average and have 50% lower turnover rates"
"When we deliberately withhold or conceal information from each other, we are doing something called 'knowledge hiding,' an action that can take several different forms."
"We may pretend to be uninformed, provide inaccurate information to those who ask us, promise to share information but never intend to, or find excuses to tell people that we can’t share when we actually can."

Learning Theory: Constructionism;

1. Learning is not a result of teaching. Learning is as a result of perception and understanding.

2. Knowledge is not information but an experience that is deliberately constructed through interactions with the world.

3. Learners must be encouraged to explore, expand, exchange and express.

Learners can create a path to knowledge for themselves, they only need to equipped and empowered.
Magic happens when this is combined with Connectivism which describes learning as being distributed across a network of connections.

This uses the community of nodes; Internet enabled devices, platforms, forums, applications etc. to form a pattern through which knowledge gotten.

#Thread Family Doctors (Primary Care) Vs Speciality Care in #India
A few weeks ago, in response to a different thread ( ) there was a comment from @spinesurgeon that we need family physicians. (1/31)
Another comment in that thread by @VaradhKrish referred to the issue of patients going directly to specialists, bypassing primary care doctors. (2/31)
The problem of patients going to specialists directly, rather than to primary care/family doctors first and then being referred by them to specialists is one that requires a more in-depth analysis. (3/31)
