Add a comment

Introduction.

This is a short blog post to add my recent twitter musings on matters relating to Demand-Avoidance Phenomena (DAP) and autism over the last three months. There are threads on many different topics on DAP research and literature adhering to typical research and practice standards. I end the blog post with links to recent essays and conference talks. I am due to deliver a conference talk “Demand-Avoidance Phenomena (“Pathological”/ “Extreme” Demand Avoidance): It’s four schools of thought, and how you may conceptualise it?” on the 19th of November 2021. I hope my work is useful to others.

Before moving providing pdfs of my recent reflections on Twitter, is a new 3D model for Demand-Avoidance Phenomena, the pdf explaining the model is on the 04th of October 2021.

PDFs of my latest thoughts on DAP and autism related matters.

This should be all my saved twitter threads since the 15th of August 2021.

He completed his BSc Technological Physics at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in 2016. After his diagnosis in 2012, he was pivotal to the running of the Autistic-led society at NTU until 2014. Since 2013, Mr Woods has been working in schools in his local area, undertaking roles such as a mentor. Currently, he is an independent scholar pursuing an Interest Based Account of autism (monotropism theory). Mr Woods’ is involved with Participatory Autism Research Collective. His research is situated in Critical Autism Studies discipline, challenging pathologising discourses. Specifically, his scholarship includes the key article “Redefining Critical Autism Studies: a more inclusive interpretation”. Presently, his research areas are deconstructing Demand Avoidance Phenomena to provide alternative explanations to its dominant discourse whilst advocating the inclusion of autistic persons’ perspectives in the autism literature. Recently, he has delivered training on DAP to postgraduate level and spoken internationally on the topic. When not advancing autistic persons’ rights, Mr Woods can be found immersing himself in cyber-goth style music and socialising with his friends. Ironically, he resides in Nottingham, the source of Rational Demand Avoidance. You can reach Mr Woods at richardwoodsautism@gmail.com and on twitter, @Richard_Autism.
