Yesterday I attended the Nottingham Café Scientifique talk “Thinking about Neurodevelopmental conditions in adulthood” given by Dr Jo Jones, Psychologist based at the NHS Nottingham City Asperger Service aka NCAS. I live tweeted the event and then later developed these tweets into a more detailed report using the free service Storify.
As NCAS is the service where I was diagnosed and where I’ve been seeing various specialists for over a year (although not Jo), and as the talk was very interesting and very much within the ‘autistic spectrum and its overlaps’ remit of this site. I thought I’d share the summary I made here. It’s easily as long and taken as much work as a typical blog post.

Graphic Explanations 
Thank you so much for writing out your thoughts and highlighting these ideas and other people’s opinions on them further! You made them perfectly clear 🙂
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I am really really thinking about right now and want to see further discussion on so much. I will have to check out danda, I have not heard of this before but it sounds very much like something that would really resonate with my personal opinions on the use of labeling/defining/understanding traits. I’m planning a (far too short) comic at the moment about sexuality (or I guess really asexuality) and how it fits in with my personal opinions on understanding labels or using them to reinforce identity. I think now I’ll have to either link to this when I post the comic or at least go back to it so I can think about all this further :3
I want to write more but I need to think through all the points made, so so interesting, I’m gonna have to go to talk like this some time!
