<p>Our society tells us that when we live with mental “illnesses” that we are responsible for making sure that it doesn’t impact our day-to-day lives and especially that it’s not a part of our relationships. In kink spaces, especially, where RACK, SSC, and other acronyms are part of our ways to maintain safety within our personal spaces and local communities, we’re taught that mental illnesses have no place. Join Echo and Synuates as they flip the script to examine how it’s not only possible, but more inclusive and ultimately ideal to use mental illness diagnoses to create greater empowerment in kink spaces and relationships. In this participatory workshop, we recognize that there are a few more commonly accepted neurodiversities (Autism, ADHD, General Anxiety, etc.); as such we will be primarily focusing on the less commonly accepted neurodiversities.</p>
