Social situations and interactions include multiple or several people. Why is the burden of bridging communication differences and “management” of the situation mostly placed on the autistic person? We need to acknowledge the role of hostile and inaccessible environments.

Wow epic failure of a take but a good example nonetheless of what happens when community terminology enters the mainstream devoid of its politic.

** Disability and neurodivergence are not in competition with each other.** They are by no means opposites…

Kicking off our first alumni event is our fearless leader @soniajohnson, welcoming our past & current @MentalhealthMSc students to the day, and reflecting on the first year the MSc was run, when twice the amount of students came than was expected!

Beautiful article. Would love to hear the insight of others on Dementia being considered a form of neurodivergence.

The American Medical Association House of Delegates annual meeting adopted a resolution (Resolution 706) entitled, “Revision of H-185.921, Removal of AMA Support for Applied Behavior Analysis”. #neurodiversity #flipthenarrative #neurodiversityacceptence

[Dr. Mona Delahooke @monadelahooke]

Here is the amended version of the proposed resolution of the AMA House of Delegates: not sure if it passed yet.

I have always said I care about real world impact way more than an Impact Factor, but to be candid, I was blown away by our first IF of 6.8! This speaks to the transformative nature of our journal's inclusive, participatory ethos; the incredible work of our editorial team;.... 1/

Pleased to share this UG project, looking for evidence of engagement with the autistic community, in articles on the genetics of autism

We found none.

An important finding for researchers bemused by the autistic community response to genetic research!

[Farah Abdulrahman @FarahPsych]

@PsychDXB I attended the IPCD in person for the first time last year and it was such a memorable event full of amazing speakers and people who were so open to learning and connecting with one another. I’m sure this year will be the same if not better! :D 💪🏼

[Farah Abdulrahman @FarahPsych]

@SueReviews @ForMiddletown Wish I could attend!

[Damian Milton @milton_damian]

@autismtalknd And why is this question always asked and yet not of others who try to represent? Charities? Clinicians? Who has the power to represent autistic people in general? Where are autistic people invited to be represented at all?

[Farah Abdulrahman @FarahPsych]

@DrMelMckendrick Great way to increase accessibility :)
