  Sunday Mornings with Jaime & Cathy: The Ecology of Support

  May 31, 202637 minS0

  <p>What if support succeeds so well that it becomes invisible? A conversation on autism, GLPs, assessment, adulthood, Kairos and Kronos, and why affirming practice begins not with labels, but with ecology.</p><p>This week’s conversation with Cathy began with a deceptively simple question: what does it actually mean to be neurodiversity affirming? The longer we talked, the less interested I became in labels and declarations and the more interested I became in environments. The discussion moved through diagnosis, assessment, education, adulthood, accommodation, and support, but a deeper thread kept returning. What happens when we mistake adaptation to an...

  The Script Garden: Story, Mathematics, and the Lost Art of Teaching Meaning

  May 31, 202636 minS0

  <p>Mathematics was born inside stories of trade, navigation, building, and survival. This talk explores how story creates meaning, why GLP learners need scripts before symbols, and what happens when education forgets both.</p><p>This talk was not planned.</p><p>At least, not in the way most talks are planned.</p><p>I am currently approaching the end of a long writing cycle.

  But I Digress ... From Co-Creation to True Partnership—Building Inclusive Education Spaces

  May 30, 202624 minS0

  <p>Today’s digression argues that establishing inclusive educational environments requires moving beyond simple classroom adjustments toward true partnership between teachers, students, and families. Author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, highlights how systemic inequities, such as underfunding and the lack of affordable housing for educators, prevent teachers from building deep roots within their school communities. She also emphasises that marginalised voices, particularly from the LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities, must be centred to transform school culture from one of compliance to one of mutual respect and safety. Challenges like standardised testing and institutional resistance are identified as major hurdles th...

  Sunday Mornings with Jaime & Cathy: Voice Notes From the Edge of the Fireline

  May 24, 202629 minS0

  <p>After evacuation warnings during a California wildfire, I reflect on recursive memory, autistic overwhelm, voice notes as survival infrastructure, and why assistive technology is not cheating but a way back to coherence.</p><p>The strange thing about catastrophe is that the body often understands it before the mind does. The alarms go off. The mobiles erupt. The message arrives in the flat administrative language of modern emergency systems—leave now, no one is coming for you—and suddenly the ordinary world collapses into triage. Not abstractly. Materially. Which objects. Which documents. Which memories. Which living beings. And because my d...

  Episode 568: The Architecture of the No—Consent Across Contexts

  May 21, 202619 minS0

  <p>In today’s episode, a cross over piece from Sensual Residue, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks examines how consent is often ignored in both social and educational settings by drawing parallels between a coercive encounter at a club and the academic pressures placed on autistic children. She describes witnessing a woman’s subtle physical withdrawal being dismissed by a partner, much like how an autistic child’s lack of interest in traditional reading is frequently reframed as a deficit rather than a valid boundary. Dr. Hoerricks argues that systemic insistence on compliance often disguises itself as care, effectively silencing an individual’s “no” i...
