Feels like a missed opportunity. Google, Apple, etc. providing a mode beyond noise cancellation within their earbud products to further block external noise to better support folks with sensory sensitivity. This would create a greater all-in-one solution, no more ear plugs in loud places!

Self-sufficiency may be one of our most dangerous pursuits. "We in the West seem to have made a fetish out of complete individual self-sufficiency, of not needing help, of being completely private except in a very few selected relationships." - Carl Rogers

When healthcare budgets are constrained, reviewing patient experience can be a great source of no cost improvement opportunities!

When will my ear buds reach a level of understanding to differentiate between needing to pause music because i am talking to someone vs turning up the music because I'm singing along (horribly)?

"no daddy, babies don't grow in a woman's tummy!" - Toddler @cgcanning.bsky.social thanks for the suggestion. Our girls love, "It's Not The Stork."

Google Lens is a parenting tool. When going for walks, our toddler and I stop and identify different plants along the way, she likes pushing the magnifying glass icon and then we briefly read about the plant.

With awareness of Autism rapidly growing, and shows like "Love on the Spectrum" popular on Netflix. Who is expanding on our understanding of Attachment Theory within relationships involving an individual on the spectrum? #research

Relevant world-wide. We need to re-evaluate how we respond to mental health emergencies in the community.

Curious, what narrative were you taught regarding HBC. 1) intrepid traders who charted a formidable wilderness and pivotal role in the formation of Canada 2) harbingers of colonialism through genocide (infected blankets, other atrocities), coarsion, and theft? 3) both

Google's Notebook LM is a game changer for lit-reviews. Is anyone else using this tool?

Want to know what's really holding back compassionate, collaborative care? It's not a shortage of goodwill or studies. It's language! We're stuck because we lack shared definitions for core concepts – even "family"! This isn't just semantics; it actively hinders progress for patients.

I kind of want to live stream myself filling out the ABAS-3 and other questionnaires with commentary on how a suspected autistic adult interprets each question. Would that be interesting 🤔 Would Pearson send a cease and desist? 😱

Grateful to present our families recent care experience during Pediatric Hospital Medicine Rounds today. Now exploring how to regularly create opportunities for past patients and families to present their cases during educational rounds.

Hard to believe healthcare was sceptical of virtual care. Five-years later, virtual care enables our teams to: - improve access to practitioner case consults across BC - innovation such as home-based meal support within eating disorder care - reduce impacts of care on neurodiverse children
