The need of transition space (S) for Neurodivergent and/or disabled people moving from (and to) action, make and doing:

Transition time // Transitional phonic safe // Transitional peripersonal space // Flexible transition space (S) Some may declare such times as just ‘reflective time’ but consider de-phonic // De-actioned demand-less space //

A loose guide for neurodivergent learners and students 

"Respect is not fear and awe; it...[is]the ability to see a person as he is, to be aware of his unique individuality. Respect, thus, implies the absence of exploitation. I want the loved person to grow and unfold for his own sake, and in his own ways, and not for the purpose of serving me." Erich Fromm
“The Art o....

The joy of the hinterland Disinterested in strident ‘takers’ …….life grabbers… energy mis-guiders The loudest discouragers no longer in phonic space The density of demanders declined…… narrow prescribers Not their time, life or space Lucid looseness ………………………… more requests d....

A gift for fellow Neurodivergent artists I drew up the following list as something I would have liked to have read decades ago.  It may grow and change but for now I hope this helps others. ‘No’ will be your greatest sculptural tool (this will leave room for when you can actually say 'yes'): Not every opportunity is an opportunity. Your time is finite, even more so for us, as ....

We are family - Creating a Program of support for neurodivergent refugees from Ukraine A month ago, I hadn’t heard of Fundacja Prodeste (Prodeste Foundation).  Then like many, I saw reports come flooding in of Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. Thereafter I fell in to the trap (again) of constantly scanning news outlets, reporters ‘updates’, journalist output - sift....

Can we trust? Can we trust the space you offer? Can we trust the words you utter?

Can we trust the time decided? Can we trust the form provided?

Can we trust your singular view? Can we trust the treatment we receive from you?

Can we trust the way you perceive? Can we trust you to sit, listen and receive?

Can we trust you not to leave anothe....

Schema 4 # Space detractors. Corrosive atmospherics. Negative binary linguistics pump(s). .....if the only words you hear are......

People with learning differences receive a much higher rate of negative, coercive, instructive, corrective, actions towards them day in day out, hour in hour out, diminishing them more and more, each and every day until they become invisible. Having a ....

Schema 3 # Removal of guilt based language Pervasive
Divisive
Coercive
Corrosive Words and their intonations are used as activators, as motivators, as guidance, as instructors, as framework, as drivers, as elevators, as distractors, as divisive, as coercive, as corrosive. Written and verbal language has the potential to deflate or inflate our surroundings and encompassing spac....

Schema 2 #

Post study I was left wondering more why no one seem to help 'Goya' and 'Bacon' and cared more about the and (over focused on) one mans 'revelation' over another mans brillo pad art.  Yes it was a creative act, a rebellion, but who looked after the artists?
