The Labour government is really planning on cutting Access to Work, the invaluable but badly designed scheme that provides disabled people with the support they need to access employment. They were never interested in helping disabled people to work. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/second-wave-...

I'm on strike today. @sheffielducu.bsky.social has voted for industrial action to oppose compulsory redundancies. Hoping management reconsiders and works toward a resolution that supports the entire university community—so we can get back to research and teaching. su.sheffield.ac.uk/ucu-briefing

Epistemic injustice... being autistic means one’s credibility and capacity to relate an accurate account of one’s own experience is often questioned. How can I be a doctor if I am autistic? Conversely, how can I be autistic if I am a doctor? www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-ques... Wait. Isn't the reason that disabled people are being pushed into poverty because welfare spending was allegedly out of control? But, these Government figures seem to show it's stable. I'm puzzled. Are you?

Finished teaching. In teams of 8-10, students learn question frameworks, reusing existing search elements, SRAccelerator / Rayyan, summarisation and data extraction using LRM+RAG, MMAT2018, SWIM and PRISMA. Between 2weekSR tools and priority screening, you CAN teach students to do systematic reviews

Created as part of Dr Daniel Poole’s research, this comic may help us understand some Autistic experiences - how everyday spaces can either help or make things harder. Seems to highlight some nice points about monotropism - what do you think? player.sheffield.ac.uk/events/distr...

Labour seems set on imposing what I've called neoliberalism's privatisation of eugenic responsibility: instead of enforcing mass authoritarian eugenics, the world is made increasingly unlivable; welfare necessary for life is cut; ensuing deaths are then framed as caused by the individual's choices.

During #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek we’re highlighting a comic based on research into how distraction affects autistic people. Created with autistic adults, it explores the ways everyday life can both challenge and support focus. 📖 bit.ly/3FqH9vt @danpoole.bsky.social @sheffielduni.bsky.social

"Millions pretend to be sick to get pitiful government benefits. If we could only make them slightly poorer and more miserable, they will surely be willing to go and find a job and employers will be happy to have them." Apparently a thing almost every politician in Britain believes, 1980-Present

calmspaces.org/about is a very useful newer enterprise, asking older autistic people (50+) in the UK about which spaces and places are autistic-friendlier. Also asking for older autistic people to review more places and add them. Info on the website. Please feel free to share.
