Those "x character joins Jujutsu Tech" AUs/theories always seem like the worst outcome to me, especially if it's with young characters like Junpei or Hana, or it involves Hakari and Kirara staying or returning to the school. It always has that feeling of: "I know what would make these people happy? being turned into a tool". Sure, Junpei going on missions for the higher-ups isn't as bad as being transformed by Mahito, but he's still gonna die at 18. I give him a year max. And Hakari and Kirara conforming to the system that mistreated them is even worse.

alright there is this Italian series, I'm currently watching, called "Un professore" ("a teacher"), in absolutely no way it is related to dead poets society, EXCEPT for the fact that there is this teacher, not a normal teacher, if you catch what I mean, that is trying to let escape his students out of their shells. for example: there was this boy, who cannot leave his room, because he was afraid of the world outside, even if he knew that his life sucked. in one way or another the teacher succeeded to let him leave is comfort zone.
but the thing I want to talk about is the dynamic (which is very complicated, I'm not going to explain the details about it) between him and one of his student, which is also his son, Simone.
the teacher always try to talk to his son, even if Simone hates him because of his past, through his lessons.
Simone is a boy who step by step is figuring out to be in love with his male best friend, and is trying to accept the fact that he has no chances with him.
his father (the teacher), discovered this, and for let him know that he accept him, and it's okay to explore sexuality, he did this alternative lesson, in which the students had to walk, however they wanted to, in the empty gymnasium of the school, for making them realize the power and the dangerousness of conformity, by quoting michel foucault, a gay philosopher of the 50s.
and now you might think "gio, well, this is basically what keating did-" EXACTLY, that is the point, they're basically saying that neil and todd, were killed by conformism, as much as Simone was being killed. and that the society in that time couldn't accept someone like them, so they had to find their own voices, and scream as loud as they can, without being afraid of who they are.

Thank you to Em at NeuroWild
“Let’s talk ‘size of the problem’.
This is something a speech therapist might work on with a kid. Potentially it might also be picked up by a psychologist, OT, teacher, or other adult.
Generally, this goal is given to neurodivergent kids to try and minimise their emotional responses to ‘small problems’. In other words, adults want our ND kids to stop ‘getting upset’ over ‘trivial’ things.
Here’s the thing though- what is small for some people is not small for everyone else.
We don’t choose our emotions.
We respond to problems and situations with whatever processing system and mental capacity we have at the time.
We do the best that we can.
Our ND kids might react more intensely to something like spilling a drink than their neurotypical peers. That doesn’t make their response wrong. It simply reflects the varied human experience.
It’s important to remember that a big emotional response is often due to an accumulation of stressors, increasing dysregulation, and depletion of mental energy. It’s actually not about the problem that just occurred- that was just the breaking point. It’s about all those other things.
Anyway.
I hope these images make sense.
I know they’re wordy.
If anyone could write up image descriptions I will attach them.
Otherwise, I’d like to know your thoughts on this.
Em 🌈”
