calling all #neurologists. If you have something to say about #Trump's semantic incoherence, now is the time. #psychologist Dr. John Gartner is leading the way.
Here is a chart in my #memoir about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's, written with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, detailing the different kinds of #aphasia, where the "assault," as #doctors call it, first starts in the #brain, and the #diagnosis.
Horrible, of course, but good. Quote him exactly so people hear what #psychologist#Dr.JohnGartner and over 2,000 people who work with people with #dementia have identified as #Trump's "probable dementia."
“The radical left — they’ve been after us for years, and they’ve screwing with people’s lives,” he said, without clarifying who else he was including in the statement. “They’ve gone out and hired lawyers, they’ve been with lawyers for years, being sucked dry.”
They offer #free group sessions with a clinical #psychologist who is also #disabled. I attended two this year and it was way better than I had expected. I will attend at least one more this year.
Splendidly efficient letter to the editor of the Washington Post criticizing their ruinously misdirected Trump coverage. Pass it on. #ThePressIsTheProblem
@mastodonmigration@shoq@dangillmor@jayrosen_nyu. I'm so glad you think so! I've been waiting for a #neurologist, #psychologist -- someone whose area of expertise is word-finding and language difficulties -- to make just these points. Thank you for boosting. I see you have a lot of followers and hopefully many will read this piece.
just a lil' interview where I talk about the intersection of being a clinical #psychologist and scientist in #tech with the mental health startup I advise. Check it out!
Fucking new feature of our team meetings is a required Round Robin of “I’m excited about…” portion at the end, to bookend the “Who has an Uplift to share!?!” at the start. True to my nature, I didn’t offer an uplift and advised that, “I’m not excited about anything”. That returned an uneasy silence from all… fuck ‘em. I barely get through the day, and excitement is something I avoid. #Work#MentalHealth#ChooseYourOwnAdventure
I hate this #FakePositivity, it's creepy af and feels like a #Walmart Greeter smiling whilst clenching their hand around a knife they hide behind their back...
📚 Finished reading Black Lies from Mercedes Mercier.
Prison psychologist Laura Fleming works against the clock to get a terminally ill inmate to reveal details of a murder he committed 15 years prior, only not everything is as it seems.
This is fast-paced, page-turning thriller writing done right.
@w7voa “Hanania has his own #podcast, too, interviewing the likes of Steven Pinker, the famous #Harvard cognitive #psychologist, and #MarcAndreessen, the billionaire software engineer…A third billionaire, #PeterThiel, provided a blurb to promote Hanania’s book, “The Origins of #Woke,” which #HarperCollins plans to publish this September. In October, Hanania is scheduled to deliver a lecture at #Stanford.” @BBCWorld@npr@ProPublica
I can see that the #psychologist, who suggested #breathing exercises would address #AuDHD, has sent me a messsge, presumably in response to my rather irritated missive after that first session. I find myself unmotivated to read it. Warranted? Unsure. I just feel I need someone who sees and hears me, and doesn’t outright suggest it’s a fever dream. #ActuallyAutistic
