Recently there's been a lot of focus in the #autism world around social skills, and I want to break down why this is such a loaded, possibly harmful focus- Fundamentally, the basis of a lot of these programs teach that you need to be neurotypical to deserve friendship.🧵

In case you were Born Yesterday, I'm still collecting chapter proposals for a Psychology of Bluey book.

The Takeaway is this: avoid a Bad Mood and Daddy Dropoff your proposal before Sleepytime on October 15.

Here's a brief clip of the talk Dr. Amelia and I gave at the American Psychological Association's Annual Conference in DC about using gaming to develop neurodivergent centered social skills and community. youtube.com/watch?v=OK5T_R…

The call for abstracts for Bluey is open until October 15. That's like 7,284 episodes of Chutney Chimp!

Been wanting to encapsulate some of the ideas I talked about at the American Psychological Association's Annual Conference, specifically around #autistic community.

Big idea here is that autistics *can* form friendships (shocking, I know) but not using neurotypical social norms.
