Autism reminds you
of the fissure
on the facade of normalcy,
where you can play
and re-make reality.
Be an autism therapist open to the liberatory potential of autism. Be an autistic knowing your power of liberation. Autism is not a diagnosis, it's a societal gift to go beyond the constraints of
the identities,
material forms,
concrete thoughts,
formulaic sociabilities
and the human-centric.
In therapy, autistics may find it most healing when clinicians give their autistic clients and the therapeutic space freedom to explore theses gifts of autism. It's imperative as a clinician to know how to find this space and know how to travel with their clients when they find it. There is no training nor exact instructions to get you, the clinician there nor instructions on how to be in it in the most effective ways. As an autistic, there is a letting go of societal norms, fears and socializations, and an embracing of your gifts and liberatory potentials. It can liberate both the clinician and the autistic client.
An invitation from myself and Amanda Baggs, please watch this video and sense into it's sounds, images and messages. What is liberation here? How can autism therapy be a liberatory potential?
