@BeccaCShaffer created RT nearly 10 years ago, and now has TWO actively funded RCTs!

We are so proud of you Dr. Shaffer! And wow! The website is beautiful!

@courtneymcgym This would be such a great culture change.

@schmitt_lm_phd 100% with a glass of wine. Read the strengths first. Let them sink in, then come back and read the weaknesses. Take some time and then come back and think about how to address! I have a nice table to help you keep track of what you’re changing and how.

We @aaspireproject sadly fell behind schedule in recruitment because of a flood of study scammers. We only have a few weeks left to recruit our full sample of participants and need your support. Please share widely. Consider participating if you're an autistic adult in the US. 🙏

I had the pleasure of joining New Prospect Baptist Church this afternoon to share information about #autism and the efforts of @SPARKforAutism with our amazing collaborators, #AutismandWe. Thank you to New Prospect Baptist and Pastor Lynch for giving us this opportunity.

Thanks to @MyaZona_Jones who started the study before heading up my canine Regulating Together study! @neurobehav_lab #autism

[Dr. Rebecca Shaffer @BeccaCShaffer]

I’m blessed with the BEST team! Today we hit 100% enrollment on a study! 375 little kids connected to research for the first time! So proud that we facilitated families’ engagement & trust in #autismresearch. Tonight we celebrated! 🎉 #Autism

My closest mentor and fiercest champion for the past 13 years, John Sweeney, unexpectedly died this week. I started with him as a coordinator in Chicago, moved with him to Dallas to start an autism center and begin grad school, and then followed him to Cincinnati as a post doc…

My 5yr old great nephew passed away a week ago today. It is truly heartbreaking in every way. I’m gathering some grief resources for his brothers (9 & 12) & his parents. #psychology #Psychiatry #therapists #grief #childloss What resources do you have for me Twitter?

Martine is amazing and this will be a great talk!!

@talk2mom121 Amie Duncan at Cincinnati Children’s has an intervention called “Surviving & Thriving in the Real World” for autistic teens that teaches all of this!
