Today’s episode provides an overview and meditation on Sarinah O’Donoghue’s 2023 essay, “Thinking with Sticks.” The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, emphasises a posthumanist perspective on autistic narrative, arguing that communication and meaning extend beyond verbal language and are co-authored by bodies, objects, movement, and sensory life. Dr. Hoerricks examines two foundational works in autistic self-advocacy, Mel Baggs’ In My Language and Adam Wolfond & Estée Klar’s S/Pace, to illustrate how material components, such as sticks or stones, function as thinking partners and communicative elements. This framework challenges the notion that intelligence is housed solely in the brain, instead proposing that cognition is distributed and relational, which validates non-traditional forms of expression like stimming and facilitated communication (FC). Ultimately, she advocates for recognising autistic experience as a valid and complex form of human patterning where the world actively participates in storytelling.

What if we embraced neurodivergent ways of being not as deviations to be corrected but as vital ways of inhabiting the world? What new realities might emerge? Bringing a much-needed humanistic perspective to the study of autism and other forms of neurodivergence, Counter-Cartographies: Neurodivergence and the Errancies of Performance (U Minnesota Press, 2025) offers a bold reimagining of neurological difference, moving beyond rigid diagnostic frameworks to uncover more expansive, generative modes of existence. Engaging the work of Fernand Deligny to trace how modern taxonomies of neurodivergence have hardened over time, Leon J. Hilton questions how these categories might instead serve as tools for remapping the world with neurodivergence at its center. At the heart of Counter-Cartographies is an exploration of performance and performativity that reveals how the norm of neurotypical reality is continually reinforced through acts of doing, redoing, and undoing. Charting the historical shift away from “mind” and toward “brain” and moving fluidly across disciplines—from digital art and documentary cinema to cybernetics and radical mental health movements—Hilton illuminates the deep interconnections between performance, perception, and the historical construction of the “neurotypical.” Through close readings of works by William Pope.L, Mel Baggs, Wu Tsang, and others, Hilton also examines how neurodivergence has been represented, embodied, and materialized in contemporary art and media. Restless, engrossing, and persistently attuned to moments of rupture when the neurotypical order falters, Counter-cartographies charts a path toward a more capacious, imaginative world. Leon J. Hilton is assistant professor of theatre arts and performance studies and co-convener of the Disability Studies Working Group at Brown University. He is a member of the editorial collective of the journal Social Text and on the advisory board of Spectrum Theatre Ensemble, a neurodiverse theatre company based in Providence, Rhode Island.

Welcome to The Feeling is Musical! Today, we chat with returning guest, Yana Ramos, a music therapist, as they share about how the popular perception of autism creates the double empathy problem. RESOURCES The Double Empathy Problem by Dr. Damian Milton | Online Article Empathy Is Overrated by Devon Price | Online Article In My Language by Mel Baggs | YouTube Video ABOUT THE MUSIC PROJECT In a significant transition that marks the end of an era yet carries forward its foundational mission, the Snohomish County Music Project is shifting its focus towards building community through unforgettable musical experiences, artist advocacy and development, and amplifying Everett's identity as a destination . While it may no longer directly create the music that has healed, strengthened, and celebrated our community, this strategic evolution ensures that even more community-led, music-centric projects can take flight, fostering the same transformative change the organization has been passionate about for years.

What does a meaningful conversation with a neurodivergent child actually look like? Mark chats with inspirational autism advocate Kieran Rose to unpack language and communication, and offer some fascinating insights into the different communication styles between neurodivergents and neurotypicals. They discuss situational mutism, hyperverbalism, small talk and monotropism to shine a light on why conversations don’t always sound like we expect. Kieran shares incredible insight from both personal and professional perspectives to explain how traditional communication expectations can alienate autistic, PDA and ADHD children, and how to create connection through listening, adaptation and patience. A standout episode for any parent who’s ever worried they’re not ‘getting through’ to their child - and a brilliant reminder that connection comes in many forms.

Poznajcie Mel Baggs - osobę na dalekim końcu spektrum. Tak dalekim, że nie posługiwała się mową, a jej sposób komunikacji i zachowanie było dalekie od tego, którego większość z nas doświadcza na co dzień. Znalazła jednak sposób, by do nas dotrzeć. I mówiła... mówi! o ważnych rzeczach. Link do filmu, który tłumaczę w tym odcinku.

Avoir des difficultés à décoder le non verbal, c'est une caractéristique que partagent plusieurs neuroatypiques. Nous avons donc invité Manuel Constant pour qu'il nous parle de synergologie, la science derrière le langage corporel. Ce que c'est, d'où ça vient, si c'est universel : plein de sujets sont abordés dans cet épisode qui démystifie un grand pan de la communication humaine.

In this first episode focusing on the interconnections between trans & disability communities & theologies, Avery draws from Mel Baggs' theory of embedded forms of oppression to describe how ableism is at the heart of many manifestations of transphobia, including pathologization and coerced treatments. When transness is perceived as a disability, and disability is perceived as brokenness, the logical result is to try to "fix" or "cure" the trans individual - as evinced in the non-affirming "disability framework" through which some Christians view transness as a symptom of a Fallen world. How can trans persons and disabled persons join together to fight their similar battles, within faith communities and beyond? Click here for an episode transcript . Talking Points: (0:00 - 5:13) Introducing the topic: why we must be anti-ableist in order to be anti-transphobic (5:12 - 6:48) At least 39% of trans people have one or more disabilities (6:49 - 7:46) Mel Baggs' theory: “There is ableism somewhere at the heart of your oppression, no matter what your oppression may be" (7:47 - 13:23) Example of sexism embedded in homophobia, and ableism embedded in both - drawing from "clobber verse" 1 Cor 6:9 (13:24 - 17:29) Examples of ableism embedded in transphobia - eugenics, pathologization; Christian psychologist Mark Yarhouse's "disability framework" for understanding transness (17:30 - 21:39) This embeddedness requires that we confront ableism in order to combat transphobia - how?
