California, Riverside. Currently leading Sensory Pop-up Experience for this academic year.

This looks awesome! 16:13:36 From Matt Segall (he/him) - Emory Oaks, Emory University to Everyone: It's the best!

I'm not the sort who could pull up a paper in the moment, but I'd be glad to connect y'all to TA if you'd like to engage with her and her research. 16:23:01 From Jess Monahan to Everyone: I need to drop in a few but Michaela will be here! 16:25:56 From Sally Burton-Hoyle to Everyone: Many parents tell their children to NOT disclose 16:26:17 From Cari Rose-Tomo (she), Center for Access and Disability to Everyone: Yes, Sally 16:27:02 From Jane Thierfeld Brown to Everyone: Sally, I completely agree! 16:28:56 From Beth Roland to Everyone: I think the relationship between disclosing and self-advocacy within higher ed might be interesting to explore - there was an interesting article in Disability Studies quarterly recently on this topic - not autism specifically but lots of student perspectives where they discuss disclosure 2. This article: Politicizing self-advocacy: Disabled students navigating ableist expectations in postsecondary education form Disability Studies Quarterly https://dsq-sds.org/index.php/dsq/article/view/8062/7597. 16:29:35 From Cari Rose-Tomo (she), Center for Access and Disability to Everyone: Agree! 16:29:39 From Karen Krainz Edison to Everyone: Tom, I see that as well 16:30:49 From Beth Roland to Everyone: Some of the later diagnosed students have also sought out their own evaluations which is interesting too - they already had a positive view maybe of autism/neurodivergence 16:30:53 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Depends on the home dynamic/presentation around the diagnosis and its meaning in childhood. Students who have received a later diagnosis, and those who had a positive home environment/clear understanding of their diagnostic profile tend to be solid, proud self-identifiers and advocates 16:30:59 From Matt Segall (he/him) - Emory Oaks, Emory University to Everyone: Best thing I learned from one of my autistic colleagues was to view disclosure as a "strategy" - in other words, choosing whether to disclosed based on whether one thinks it will help achieve a goal or outcome (e.g., access to accommodation, sense of belonging or feeling understood, etc.). I think sometimes we talk about disclosure too broadly and out of context. The context matters tremendously. 16:31:01 From Jane Thierfeld Brown to Everyone: https://www.aane.org/disclosure-choices/ 16:31:19 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Jane, great resource! 16:33:07 From Sally Burton-Hoyle to Everyone: Matt! I love this thought and it helps me with my thinking. There is the BIG D and there is the explanation of their disclosure. 16:33:08 From Matt Segall (he/him) - Emory Oaks, Emory University to Everyone: Yes! Thank you, Nina! 16:34:21 From Jane Thierfeld Brown to Everyone: Great thought Matt. 16:37:23 From Michaela Hodges-Fulton to Everyone: Thank you to everyone sharing resources in the chat; I am saving all the names and articles you mention 16:38:33 From Felicitas Nungaray to Everyone: some of my students disclosed they felt they were tokenized in the past. Therefore will not disclosed in new settings. 16:39:01 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Tokenized, or had that information disclosed without their consent ^ 16:39:27 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Same here, Jennifer. 16:39:57 From Michaela Hodges-Fulton to Everyone: I'm so sorry that you had that experience Jennifer 16:40:00 From Jane Thierfeld Brown to Everyone: I’m so sorry that happened to you Jennifer. 16:41:06 From Jane Thierfeld Brown to Everyone: We heard those comments in 1998/99 and I had hoped that type of thinking was extinguished by now. 16:41:33 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Oh, the culture of sanctioned apathy is still alive and well in higher ed 16:41:47 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: I get invited to grants because I have a disability :( 16:42:28 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Same, Jennifer. Like I am the neurodivergent Lorax who speaks for the whole population, or something *eyeroll 16:42:53 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: Oh Nina - they obviously have no idea what you bring! 16:43:13 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Same for you ❤️ 16:43:46 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: The whole visible vs invisible disability issue 16:44:09 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: There is that unspoken expectation of demonstrating how disabled you are, and the observer judging the legitimacy 16:45:15 From Beth Roland to Everyone: Replying to "There is that unspok..." yes exactly 16:45:44 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: https://www.chronicle.com/article/how-to-make-room-for-neurodivergent-professors 16:46:03 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: I think if those of us can set an example, it may get easier. But I want it to be easy for me first. 16:47:47 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Modeling it, and writing it down/distributing it for accountability 16:48:42 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: I wonder if this group could collaboratively come up with a bullet list of best practices in neurodiversity allyship? 16:49:05 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: Nina, maybe you and I could make a YouTube video :) 16:50:47 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: YES, Jennifer 16:51:11 From Nina Schiarizzi-Tobin (she/her) to Everyone: Jane - shoutout - I was actually just reviewing the URI ADA compliance plan you’re listed on with OEO 16:51:33 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: How do ERs run without ADHD? 16:53:59 From Emmanuel Mejeun to Everyone: in response to comments earlier: 1)Yes, poor communication skills is indeed a barrier to self disclosure - 2)lack of understanding: I also found that a lot of my students did not quite know a lot about ASD. They know they have it, but they did not feel like they knew enough to advocate for themselves 3)Belief in Self-sufficiency: a lot of them want to do it alone, they want their failures or success to be their choice...etc... they choose not to disclose so they can have the "same" college experience as everyone else... some of the IEPs were so extensive that they felt like they did not have a voice... so in a way, not disclosing is a way for them to figure out who they are...etc... 16:54:17 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: I hear that Lindsay, I want to celebrate diverse thinking but I don't want to minimize someone's experiences in the process 16:57:11 From Michaela Hodges-Fulton to Everyone: One of my friends had the same experience! (discovering a diagnosis by finding a parenting book) 16:57:11 From Matt Segall (he/him) - Emory Oaks, Emory University to Everyone: Reminds me that age of diagnosis is a relevant variable here. 16:57:19 From Cari Rose-Tomo (she), Center for Access and Disability to Everyone: I am so sorry. Issues at day's end. Must go. This is always so interesting. 16:57:33 From Matt Segall (he/him) - Emory Oaks, Emory University to Everyone: Great discussion. Super important! 16:57:40 From Sally Burton-Hoyle to Everyone: This was wonderful!! 16:57:41 From Kendra to Everyone: 👍🏼 16:57:42 From Felicitas Nungaray to Everyone: yes 16:57:46 From Emmanuel Mejeun to Everyone: Yes we need a part 2 16:57:49 From Matt Segall (he/him) - Emory Oaks, Emory University to Everyone: yup! 16:58:05 From Karen Krainz Edison to Everyone: Thanks all! 16:58:06 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: more input! 16:58:08 From Carolyn Anne Blondin to Everyone: Yes- expanding further for workplace disclosure considerations may be beneficial as well 16:58:10 From Sally Burton-Hoyle to Everyone: Yes please continue this discussion as it pertains to further educating faculty and asministration 16:58:16 From Emily Heier to Everyone: Thanks all! 16:58:21 From Jennifer Schoffer Closson to Everyone: I would like to explore the "strategy" 16:58:23 From Aleza Greene to Everyone: Reacted to "Yes- expanding furth..." with 👍 16:58:47 From Michaela Hodges-Fulton to Everyone: My email is mhf@udel.edu Please reach out if you have any thoughts/resources/etc on this topic you would like to share with me 16:58:56 From Michaela Hodges-Fulton to Everyone: Thank you so much for having me today! 16:59:03 From Matt Segall (he/him) - Emory Oaks, Emory University to Everyone: Good luck with your research Michaela! 16:59:03 From Beth Roland to Everyone: Replying to "Thank you so much fo..."
