The contemporary classroom is a bastion of neuronormativity. We neuroqueer to fight for the right to learn differently.

Behaviorism denies flexibility and choice and is the antithesis of Neuroqueer Learning Spaces (NQLS).

Thinking about how disabled, neuroqueer, and trans folks could probably join forces to invent a better version of the cyberpunk genre from first principles.

Book 24 was Neuroqueer Heresies by Nick Walker (narrated by Janet Metzger).

Favourite quote:
“Neuroqueer is active subversion of both neuronormativity and heteronormativity. Neuroqueer is intentional noncompliance with the demands of normative performance.”

Worf (but really, being neuroqueer in the South)

Porting over another thread:

Thinking a lot about Worf.

About how, though he's the only lens we get on what Klingon culture is "supposed" to look like, somehow, we never meet other Klingons who live up to his expectations, much less to his example.

Because he's a true believer. He bought in.

Hearing "neuroqueer" for the first time in @drrobertchapman.bsky.social's Empire of Normality - referencing Neuroqueer Heresies - was a genuinely revelatory moment for me

Everyone - certainly every autistic person - should read them both

was thinking about neuroqueer, and neuroqueering, and why I wasn’t using the term for myself yet. And so, using it now. Because of course.

Call for Papers: Leeds IMC 2026
Neurodivergent and Neuroqueer Temporalities

Deadline: Monday 15th September 9am
#CFP #IMC2026 #Medievalsky #Neurodiversity #Neuroqueer
Call for papaers poster. Medieval image of Hildegard of Bingen as header. Neurodivergent infinity loop behind text. Text reads: Call for Papers: International Medieval Congress 2026 Neurodivergent and Neuroqueer Temporalities Over the past decade, critical neurodiversity studies and neuroqueer theory have come to prominence. These new paradigms seek to explore differences in mind through an understanding that there are naturally diverse ways of being rather than through pathologisation. While the paradigms are beginning to be used in other academic disciplines, they are yet to be implemented in a significant way in medieval studies. This panel seeks to change this by encouraging medievalists to see the potentials in neuroqueer and neurodivergent scholarship and prompting discussion in these areas. This panel is requesting proposals for papers which examine aspects of medieval temporalities through a neurodivergent or neuroqueer lens. This includes, but is not limited to: • Application of contemporary neuroqueer or neurodivergent theory to medieval temporal concerns. • Examination of non-normative experiences of time, e.g. in mystical ecstasy. • Exploration of neuroqueer attitudes to normative lifecycles. • Examination of the effects of time and age on the mind in medieval texts. • Neurodivergent readings of medieval material relating to temporalities. Paper proposals should be under 200 words and accompanied by a short bio. Proposals should be sent to A.T.Paley1@leeds.ac.uk for the attention of Ash Paley and Daniel Coultas by 9am on Monday 15th September 2025.

"The two paradigms—the pathology paradigm and the neurodiversity paradigm—are as fundamentally incompatible as, say, homophobia and the gay rights movement, or misogyny and feminism."
