If you're one of the many therapists I'm seeing who was approached by an AI company offering six figures for "de-identified" notes, reports, etc, and you've abandoned your ethics enough to consider the offer, make sure when you negotiate your compensation that you factor in legal fees and the cost of losing your license.

I hate it here.

#ThreeGoodThings

1. Insurance got back to me and confirmed they will cover my surgery without prior authorization so I don’t have to argue with them anymore (about this at least)
2. Publisher sent me cover options for Slipper’s workbook and they are sooo cute!
3. I got approached to sell the translation rights to some of my self published books and courses - expanded distribution means helping more people AND more passive income

Once in a while, my authenticator app asks if I'm "enjoying" using it. I do not know how to answer that question. It's doing what I need it to do, I have not (to my knowledge) been hacked, but do I *enjoy* having to pull up a six digit code whenever I log in anywhere? Not exactly.

What's that you say? A UK study aimed at proving that ADHD and autism are over-diagnosed actually found that we are still under-diagnosing both, and lack access to assessments remains a huge barrier to support? What a shocking and unexpected conclusion!

So...it's not illegal to steal from someone if they can afford to be stolen from. Do with that information what you will.

Earlier this week in one of the psychologist groups I’m in, someone asked if conceptualizing AuDHD rather than strictly differentiating autistic and ADHD traits is helpful. I said as an AuDHD-er, I personally find it helpful. Someone then demanded I provide peer-reviewed sources that meet standards for expert witness testimony. I started asking what those standards had to do with my personal experience but then I remembered you don’t have to take homework assignments from strangers.So I blocked.

Now whenever I close out a session, I say something positive about the client just in case they can still hear, like “she is so kind.”Idk if they’ve ever heard me but it’s helped my own burnout a lot, like a gratitude practice.💜

What Exactly Is Stimming?

Stimming (short for self-stimulatory behavior) is any repetitive behavior that helps with self-regulation. Many autistic people stim, but other neurodivergent and even neurotypical people can stim. When someone is stimming, they engage in repeated sensory, motor, or other behaviors that regulate arousal, emotions, sensory input, executive functioning, or something else. When most people think of stimming, they imagine someone flapping their…

It's that time again where I am asked to write an author bio. What do we think of:

Dr. Amy is the single greatest mind of her generation. She came here to chew gum and fuck things up, and she is fresh out of gum.

You will pry my em dashes from my cold — and dead — hands. I had them before AI was conceived and I’ll have them long after it’s gone.

There's a woman on NextDoor accusing someone of being a scammer. When asked what the supposed scammer did, she is reprimanding people for invading her privacy. And now she's upset that people aren't believing her.

NextDoor is the best app to lurk on IMO

We got cameras installed after someone ran over our mailbox a while back (she came back and paid for the damage, but you know, it just reminded us we might need them for safety), but our neighborhood isn't that exciting so basically we put in a system that alerts me whenever there's a bunny outside. Not exactly the problem we set out to solve but it's been amazing for my mental health.

The best part of having a doctorate is any time someone asks me to do something I don’t want to do, I write “absolutely not” on a post it and say sorry can’t I have a doctor’s note

We Just Played Uno: Thoughts On Child Therapy

Recently, the various algorithms have shared some posts with me from therapists talking about their experiences using games in therapy and explaining to parents the therapeutic value of these games, even if they look like "just playing" on the surface. Since there is no such thing as an original thought, I figured it was fine to share my own experience as well.

Back in October, I was laid off from a publication I freelanced with for five years. Not just me, they cut all their freelancers, but it still sucked. Shortly after, they laid off 90% of their editors, too. The editors keep getting awesome new jobs at other publications, and they've all been reaching out to me with new freelance offers, which has been freaking awesome for my self-esteem. 🥳
