An occasional resources thread

Hello,
People asked for a bit of a hand in posting to Epiphanies and I wonder if posting the odd own voice resource as things come up might be handy. I'm doing this as a locked thread to start with just to get the links out and if you see something you want to discuss either take it to a relevant open thread or start a new thread on it.
Thanks

So here goes:

We've been talking about Black women and racism - a key concept is misogynoir, it's that specially super-charged kind of vicious prejudice which Black women get where 'race and gender both play roles in bias'. It comes up a lot with Meghan Markle

Also Black women and hair touching has come up - here are a few links
Touching Black Hair is a microaggression

Keep your hands to yourself don't touch our hair

We had a recent thread on Autism where various own voice links were posted

Here are a couple of key concepts from the Autistic community

Monotropism is a key way that Autistic people are understanding and researching Autism

Me and Monotropism: A unified theory of autism

The author has a good website here - https://monotropism.org/

The Spiky profile on how Autistic people function

The Double empathy problem ( this is a summary for non academics - but it comes out of academic research that's been there for ten years now) on how Autistic people communicate and empathise

These links on Stimming - a thing Autistic people do to self-regulate
