Submitted my first fellowship application. Even if I don’t get it, it’s the process of focusing my vision that’s been super useful. Also finding my cheerleaders has been great! 🫶 #AcademicTwitter

This is a reminder that there is no scientific basis for noise desensitization for autistic people because the mechanisms of habituation don't habituate, and we are also more likely to have sensory disorders like hyperacusis so this real world bullshit is really unsound

Hurrah for Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️ and team for this new piece of work on the creation of the language around neurodiversity, showing that it was done by neurodivergent communities and not by just one individual.

I am far from proficient with sign but learning sign has definitely helped me with many of my impairments.

Brilliant commentary from Mel Heyworth (Reframing Autism), outlining the importance of researchers critically reflecting on, and adapting, their research (however well intentioned) in view of community feedback, leading to better research as a result 👏

Thanks everyone for your interest in the Community Attitudes Towards Autism Genetics study!

We're still looking for Autistic men, fathers of Autistic children, & autism HCP/research professionals to help co-produce the project!

You can express interest @ tinyurl.com/464ty3t8

I hope this paper puts to rest any claims that the term “profound autism” is “scientifically accurate”, as no two papers have used the same criteria since the term was introduced, and these authors don’t even use the same criteria across the 2 studies in just this one paper.

Delighted to be involved in this study that is currently seeking coproduction with the #ActuallyAutistic community. Call for Australia based community members. Check it out! Your time is compensated.

I am constantly playing audio into my ears to control my soundscape.

I love working on the AARC!! Looking forward to 2024 with continuing and new members 😊
