Guerilla Aspies Podcast 16 Autistic Self Advocate and Mother of three daughters Carly Jones MBE - Autism Aspergers Syndrome Neurodiversity NeuroDivergency

GUERILLA AUTISTICS PODCAST Season 2 Ep.1 - How Neurodiversity typifies the Edinburgh Fringe. 11 GUESTS. Neurodivergency Neurodivergent and Autism

In august 2024 Kevin Toolis, a journalist with zero stated background in the field of Neurodiversity let alone Neurodivergence/Autism, wrote a piece in the Spectator magazine that horrified all of us Neurodivergent performers who were on the Edinburgh Fringe that year. According to him, all of our self confession and soul - baring, a dangerous thing in the Neurotypical world, was nothing but cheap attention seeking. At the time I just ignored it. Typical revisionism. An article full of clearly biased and aggressive language, representing an old and recognisable agenda for a 20 year veteran of autistic self advocacy like me. Here we go again. The usual. Toolis refused to debate his piece, and left Twitter/X at that time. I am contacting him to a response when I post this podcast. You can read the piece online. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-neurodiversity-took-over-the-edinburgh-fringe/ [https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-neurodiversity-took-over-the-edinburgh-fringe/] Here, I interview Suzy Payton Jax Braithwaite.

Guerilla Aspies podcast Autism Aspergers syndrome neurodiversity neurodivergency 17 - Eve Reiland, Mother, Autistic, activist, writer, journalist and Neurodivergent historian.

I never thought I would get to speak to someone in the legendary Californian city of Fresno. I always though it was short for a bigger title too, but turns out to be Spanish for Ash tree. Eve Reliand who claimed the name Autistic Bad Ass Activist before anyone else, kindly spoke to me for my podcast. Eve is best introduced as an autistic activist, artist, writer and parent. she is the founder of InternationalBadassActivists (one word for all you autistic pendants out there), and a co-founder of the Autistic Co operative. Eve started writing for self advocacy in 2005 and launched her first campaign around autism in 2008. Eve's goals are to make a better future for all autistic s born today, amplify divergent voices and document just what has been going on in the world of autism but from our perspective rather than the neurotypical curing parent one that seems to want absolute domination over every narrative and agenda known. Her wonderful films on social media must be seen to be believed. History will be very glad that Eve has gone to the effort that she has.

Guerilla Aspies Podcast 16 Autistic Self Advocate and Mother of three daughters Carly Jones MBE - Autism Aspergers Syndrome Neurodiversity NeuroDivergency

Carly Jones MBE is a single mother of three daughters, the eldest of which is 23. A fact that she reckons entitles her to a sainthood, never mind being made a Member of the British Empire for services to autistic people (well at least the British Crown recognises us as such). Carly's story found her alone against all the odds raising three children, and later in life finding out through them that she was autistic. She has gone on to support many autistic people as a mentor and...wait for it... is a Keynote speaker, a presenter, an author, a UK Policy Safeguarding professional and...yet there is more...is on numerous advisory boards like the National Autistic Society, The Barbican London, Autistica Insights, NHS England Immunisation Board, Heathrow Airport, Motability Consumer Group, East Midlands Rail and as if that aint enough she finds time to. (take a breath now) be an Independent Member of the Ministry of Justice (that sounds very Judge Dredd doesnt it?) Our Majesty the Queens Community and Voluntary Honours Committee UK, Royal Society of Arts fellow, Co chair of the Executive Steering group with National Autistic Society and Royal Menace for the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training of all U.K. NHS Health and Social Care Staff. Not finished yet. She was voted one of the top 100 U.K. female entrepreneurs as well. No really. She's been on the BBC and independently reviews scholastic articles for Springer publications. If that's not informed you, try her twitter - CarlyJonesMBE and if you STILL need more, I think it's best you email her on Carly on Britishautismadvocate@gmail.com. Thank you.

Now meet the late diagnosed autistic man behind the almighty back catalogue of images our planet can barely contain. Meet his remarkable neurodivergent family.

Guerilla Aspies Podcast Autism Aspergers Neurodiversity Episode 14 - Pioneering advocate, author & Mother of 6 (many autistic) children Emma Dalmayne.

COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK? GuerillaAspies@Outlook.com Emma Dalmayne has assisted the British Police to find, question and even arrest parents and people who put their childrens live in danger through unregulated treatments that are supposed to 'cure' them of being autistic. She has often done this by infiltrating social groups dedicated to such aims, finding out who people are and then reporting them. As seen on the BBC, Channel 4, in the Guardian, Times and Daily Mail newspapers. The unique and I think history making autistic advocate Emma Dalmayne finally gets time to talk to me on the phone. That took some doing. Emma and I have been friends for many years and I have not been podcasting for a while, really because I was after speaking to her. I think her work around exposing the practices of injecting CHL Chlorine Dioxide into the anuses of small children, which killed a UK child, is life saving. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/jul/10/usa.edpilkington and https://www.vice.com/en/article/kwxq3w/parents-are-giving-their-children-bleach-enemas-to-cure-them-of-autism-311 Quoting the New York Times:...the “bleach cures” movement. The Genesis II Church [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/health-canada-genesis-2-church-mms-mark-jonathan-grenon-calgary-1.4606633] and Kerri Rivera [https://www.businessinsider.com/mms-bleach-advocates-telegram-photos-child-injuries-2020-4], among others, have been selling products like chlorine dioxide, marketed as “Miracle Mineral Solution [https://www.businessinsider.com/mms-fans-celebrate-trump-claim-disinfectant-might-cure-coronavirus-2020-4],” or M.M.S., stating that the substances will cure autism, acne, cancer, diabetes, Covid-19 and so much more [https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326059]. This is a crucial red flag for pseudoscience: When a product claims it can cure anything, it’s a fake. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/26/opinion/coronavirus-bleach-trump-autism.html With six children, several of them at home to with her, Emma has started her own organisation to support both parents and autistic children with regular South London playgroups and meet ups. She has published two books and has spoken on radio and television. She has been consulted by Government in the UK Parliament and only this year was thanked during a meeting in the Palace of Westminster, over the regulation of dangerous practices aimed at 'treating' autistic children. In the belief that this would stop them being what they are. Emma as acted undercover for many years, infiltrating huge online social groups of parents who are secretively putting their own children health and lives at risk. All under the delusion that it will stop them being what they describe as autistic. Emma has taken a lot of personal abuse from such people and has received more threats than I would care to mention on here. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/jul/13/fake-cures-autism-prove-deadly https://autisticinclusivemeets.org/about-us/emma-dalmayne/ I am proud to call Emma my friend and I hope to carry on supporting her work in the future. Even if it means we have to get ourselves a bit roughed up facing others. Ah well, that's being old Liverpudlian or Scouser for you. We tend to find ourselves at the sharp end... ;) COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK?
