The symptoms of #ADHD, #autism and #trauma can feel so similar and intertwined that a person may not know which condition is behind the challenges they face. This writer discovered her #neurodiversity well into adulthood, which helped her realize that childhood trauma was not the only reason she struggled with work, relationships and everyday life. Her personal reveal can help others figure out what's going on in their own lives. medium.com/wise-well/the-chall?sk=9f0425c071af40e2763789e4e453a0c2

Wise & Well · The Challenge of Recognizing Neurodivergence vs. TraumaBy Morgana Clementine

Every time you avoid conflict to “keep the peace,” you’re not just staying quiet—you’re sending your nervous system the message that self-advocacy is dangerous. Over time, this leads to heightened anxiety around confrontation and a belief that your voice is unsafe. But this pattern can be unlearned. #avoidance #trauma #healing #conflict #fighting

What surviving 550 days of genocide feels like for a child is something that we, adults from the west, cannot even imagine; what it feels like loosing a loved one some may know:
The three siblings here are in mourning because they, like almost 40,000 other #Palestinian children, have lost a parent during the #genocide.

A little six months old #Palestinian baby-girl in the arms of her uncle is too young to know that her father, who was killed while delivering food to displaced people, is not asleep here.

Almost 40,000 children have lost a parent or both parents during the genocide.
When will the world stop #Israel?

I just rediscovered two old posts/threads of mine, that explain pretty well, why I want to go into pedagogy now (I didn't know it back then - too busy working on my depression and hating school):

I want to protect children.
I want to provide them a save environment to thrive and talk about their troubles.
In a perfect school system kids would learn mental hygiene and get therapy before they learn integrals and the uncritical history of wars and power abuse. That would prevent so much domestic abuse, because it would be caught early.
And teaching kids emotional and social competence before teaching them applied capitalism will prevent abuse, division, exploitation and hate in the future.

I want to teach children to be happier than me, less abusive than my stepdad, more empathetic than my mom and more protective of future generations than my teachers were.

That's why I'm studying animal assisted pedagogy and will start studying social pedagogy, trauma pedagogy and environmental pedagogy this fall.
