See you next year, @ABCTAutism! Theme for Seattle 2023 is "Cultivating Joy through CBT." I love this theme - how can we support autistic people in pursuit of wellness? #ASDD #ABCTSIG

[Jeff Cohen @DrJeffCohen]

🧚‍♂️ I met a personal hero last night✨💖✨🌈

Dr. Charles Silverstein organized a presentation to the American Psychiatric Association back in 1973 that led to the removal of "homosexuality" as psychiatric diagnosis, and told @ABCTNOW to stop doing conversion therapy in 1972.

Great talks about engagement with #autistic stakeholders across many interventions, but I especially liked this conclusions slide by Dr. Brenna Maddox #ABCT2022

@PatrickDAutist, @AmyGravino, @APabloJuarez, @AmySFLutz, and twitter-less Katie Walton, PhD and Joy Johnson MEd, MS, BCBA

We had another amazing trainee presentation on behavioral activation in autistic adults with anxiety/depression! Great work, Gabrielle Guninn& Ellen Wilkinson from Vanessa Bal's lab at Rutgers! @ABCTAutism

[Dr. Tyler Higgs @TylerHiggs20]

I'm still processing the compelling ABA panel from @ABCTAutism PreCon. Thank you panelists for your thoughtfulness, vulnerability, time, & emotional labor. We learned so much! @Hannah_Morton9 @AmyGravino @PatrickDAutist @AmySFLutz @APabloJuarez Joy Johnson & Katie Walton

[Dr. Tyler Higgs @TylerHiggs20]

Powerful presentation by Maire Diemer (UMissouri) about lack of research on autistic Black girls/women. Looking forward to reading the 2021 review by @templelovelace that Maire mentioned. @ABCTAutism #ASDD #ASDDSIG #ASDDSIGPreCon

[Dr. Tyler Higgs @TylerHiggs20]

Today is the day! 🎉 We are so excited to share the content we've put together for our virtual SIG PreCon this afternoon!

[ABCT Autism SIG @ABCTAutism]

We’re so excited to see everyone at our @ABCTNOW #ASDD SIG virtual pre-conference THIS FRIDAY from 12-4pm EST with our meet-the-experts coffee hour at 11am. Please DM us if you’d like to register for either or both of these events!

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

It’s taken me awhile, too long, but I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve mostly eradicated “crazy” and “insane” from my vocabulary (unless I am talking about my mental health) and I wince whenever I hear or read them ( much as I long have regarding “lame”)

[Dr. Tyler Higgs @TylerHiggs20]

Very excited for our #ASDD #SIG to be hosting this panel w/ a wide variety of views! Kudos to our amazing Conference Planning committee 👏

[ABCT Autism SIG @ABCTAutism]

REMINDER: The #ASDD @ABCTNOW SIG pre-conference is on **Friday November 4th**! This year we will be hosting a panel on ethical/best-practice concerns on the use of ABA in autism, as this has been the subject of many recent conversations within the SIG and in the community. (1/4)

[Dr. Tyler Higgs @TylerHiggs20]

How brave for him to share his story so openly. This will save lives. 🙌

[John Wall @JohnWall]

Let's be real, this battle ain't easy... but I'm still here. I hope my story helps somebody. @PlayersTribune
