New to bsky, so here’s a reintro:
I go by Kritika, PhD student at UC Santa Cruz, working on disability, and HCI, with a focus on neurodivergence, critical studies, and alternative design.
Currently exploring neurodivergent experiences as self-determined, embodied, messy yet joyful. 💖
Tune in as I poke fun on technosolutionist and interventionist approaches in neurodivergence research, and outline implications for working ✨with✨ neurodivergent masking and social agency. Open access 📄 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
Presenting my work, co-authored with @fractalecho.bsky.social @kateringland.bsky.social on neurodivergent masking at #CHI2025 on Apr 28th, 11:10 AM JST. In this paper, we reframe masking from pathologization to a practice that mediates & facilitates social access. (1/2)
