@JamesAFurey There’s a difference between good teaching and scholarly teaching.

[Sonny Hallett @scrappapertiger]

Neurodiversity is a vital concept. Understanding the difference between neurodiverse & neurodivergent is much more important than splitting hairs over linguistics. I made a comic explainer.

[Autistic Girls Network @AutisticGirls_]

Autistic masking often comes with a toll on mental health. Constantly conforming to societal expectations can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, & loss of self-esteem. With more acceptance & understanding, we can empower individuals to embrace their true selves. #Autistic

@breannajrogers Is speech, language, and hearing sciences an option for you? You can possibly study emotional regulation from a speech language pathology perspective.

This is dangerous and scientifically wrong. Never say no to any way of languaging.

[The Informed SLP @TheInformedSLP]

Understanding another neurotype's social interactions is NOT just the responsibility of autistic people.
Non-autistic individuals have communicative difficulties when interacting with autistic individuals.
We’ve talked about the double empathy problem before—both autistic and neurotypical people struggle to understand one another. Improving and supporting these communication breakdowns should mean all of us working together, rather than just pathologizing neurodivergent communication!

⁠Don't miss our great printable graphic to help educate yourself and others on the double empathy problem. ⁠

It has officially been 65 years since the Wug Test revealed kids' natural grasp of language rules. Happy wugiversary

Young children are like scientists - constantly testing their theories about the world.

Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget is revered in education circles as the father of “constructivism” - which is a theory that young children create knowledge by connecting new experiences with past learning, through a process not unlike the scientific method.

And here’s an amazing example. Faced with something unfamiliar (an anti-theft security tag affixed to a shoe), this little guy draws upon his existing knowledge (or “schema” in Piagetian terms) to make sense of what he’s seeing.

In a sign of the times that would have fascinated Piaget (who died in 1980), our hero assumes that the shoe comes with its own charger, which - according to its label (a size 10 sticker) will permit the owner to walk for 10 minutes after charging. (Or perhaps this is the time required to achieve a full charge?)

It’s really a pretty amazing hypothesis that draws on multiple different data points.

Not shown in the video is what happens next. Had his theory been affirmed as correct (which in this case it isn’t), the example of a battery powered shoe with a USB port would have been “assimilated,” strengthening his existing knowledge of electronic devices.

Presuming mom provides some explanation about store security tags, however, our little scientist will be disproven - forcing him to “accommodate” within his existing schema to take the existence of a new object into account.

Either way, knowledge is being constructed. What an impressive little guy! 🧠

Have you noticed your children test their theories about the world? If so how?

@DixonBrandywine @imaginmatrix Did Ariel still choose to give away her voice to meet Eric? My daughter would love to watch this but I don’t want her to think she should change to attract someone.

Lots of action in state legislatures after Sold a Story. Read more about what's happening in this story by @CLPeak https://t.co/BmXh4pkB6l

[The Informed SLP @TheInformedSLP]

Remember the controversy last year over @CDCgov's new language milestones? Our primary concern was that they set the bar too low.
And guess what? A new study by Sadaka et al. gives us data to back this up.

"The way in which we frame autism has a profound effect....parents learn their language from us...We have a choice as clinicians in terms of which pathway we send kids down. We can send them down the path of disorder and cure or the path of the neurodiversity movement." M Doherty
