Hi all! I am still recruiting for my survey study looking at what the important school outcomes are for pupils in mainstream schools. I am particularly looking for more non-autistic participants (but always happy to include more autistic participants too!). Please RT😊Thanks!

Excited to be taking part in the @ESRC Festival of Social Science again this year. This time – talking about why PE at school can be so difficult for autistic young people. Why is it so difficult? @debbieriby @Esti_Waddington @dora_sadler @PatrickJachyra @cdsport #ESRCFestival

Did you know that #bonobos lead rich emotional lives? Our new study w/@zannaclay, Diane Austry & Zoe Upton @PhilTransB suggests that bonobos communicate their emotions in flexible ways to influence surrounding bystanders when in distress. A thread 1/3
