Here is a fantastic research. Is anyone (teachers) interested? playresearch.co.uk/download-the...

I second that 💯!

What an experience! I was elated to meet one of my favourite writers. A moment I will always cherish 💙. @debharkness.bsky.social

Put your EarPods on and listen to this 👇. Minecraft is where the game happens, but Autcraft is where the magic is! Based on my research, its pedagogical approach is unparalleled for neurodiverse learners. youtu.be/26ioGPqle4A

A must read! I’ve been called a ‘difficult parent’ so many times (in school). Why? Because I had to advocate for my son. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1... journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Feels like a nice time to reshare this blog as our Bluesky neurodivergent community grows. www.autisticrealms.com/post/monotro... Deleuze and Guattari, Monotropism, NeuroAffirming, Community, Double Empathy, Flow, Neurodiversity Paradigm

Autistic love languages can look different than NT ones. We like to share experiences, may unmask around people we are comfortable with, do penguin pebbling, share a special interest, stim, or infodump. image credit: @littlepuddins.ie

NEW POST: Alternative Provision expert and SEND parent, Sarah Johnson says too many schools exclude without first assessing for SEND. Sarah says asking “why” and understanding needs should be at the core of a school’s work www.specialneedsjungle.com/arrive-alter...

Let’s talk about inclusion. This is an amazing idea.

Very interesting article. Must read!

The distinction is crucial. The words we use shape attitudes!

Useful resources. Please share it with your network.

I'm delighted to share that an article I wrote about supporting #neurodivergent workers appeared in WeAreTheCity for #WorldMentalHealthDay & #ADHDAwarenessMonth. So excited to see that they've included #NeurodiversityInTheWorkplace in their "must read" section too! wearethecity.com/supporting-n...

Since I was made #redundant & I'm now job hunting again, I have realised that most #recruitment processes are not #inclusive of #neurodivergent folk. The more interviews I attend, the more floors I notice in a very unfair, discriminatory & biased system ⬇️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-made...

On point! A must read.

Yes I talk about this too in my talks

So true!

I’m a mom and hands down I can say…this topic is so important. It’s poorly understood, so we really need more research. Is anyone interested in participating in this study?👇

A monthly community to share experiences and learn from each other (free). #AutRes www.theautisticcoach.com/autism-discu...

Here is an interesting article with a humanistic viewpoint. Everything is connected, it makes sense to me. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So very true and it’s even worse when running out of time. 👇😩

That sums it up pretty well. 👇

❓What's the difference btwn accommodations & modifications? ❓What happens to IEPs and 504s at college? I talked with DebbieReber on her Tilt Parenting podcast about all of this & more. bit.ly/TiltInt #2E #ADHDParenting #DyslexiaParent #ParentingTips #CollegePrep #CollegeAccess

Are you the parent of an #autistic child living in the UK? Please consider taking part in our new study exploring the role of extended family members in caring for autistic children. Details and survey link here: qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_... Would love a repost too. Thank you! #AutRes

Hey look, some autism researchers paying attention to what autistic people know! “when thinking about [autism] interventions, it might be that trying to eliminate repetitive behaviors without providing alternative self-soothing tools is not the ideal way to go.”

This is truly beautiful, a #Neurodivergent bloke has organised a #neurodiverse speed dating event in his Aussie home town - www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10... - Love the pride & sense of fun in enjoying being an #ADHDer #ActuallyAutistic & #Neurodivergent.

Just signed this and highly recommend you consider it too, if you’re a UK based scientist. #AutRes #psysky #academicsky #cogdev #devpsy

“A point of departure in this Special Issue is the need for new ways of doing autism research; in line with a neurodiversity paradigm, reflecting a more ethical and affirmative approach to autism.” Hope guidance on positionality, and avoiding othering, ableism, deficit focus, will be adopted widely.

captapnetwork.wordpress.com/2023/09/19/h... Hurrah. Our lovely guide to using kind and respectful language about autistic people is out. Feel free to share.

Describing the way my brain works as being a MONOTROPIC FLOW STATE sounds rad as hell. Love that for me.

"Most autistic people are not anything like Elon Musk. I want to say that quite clearly. But, I have met more than I’m comfortable with who are a little bit like that, who have responded to being devalued by convincing themselves they are better than everyone." Fergus Murray to @abking.bsky.social.
