Our paper on cognitive aging in autistic adults is out. Cross sectional replication of #VIDI findings, as part of the #VICI on autism & aging @NWO_SSH @FMG_UvA . See @CTorenvliet 🧵 for details!

[Carolien Torenvliet @CTorenvliet]

We used Bayesian analyses to compare AND combine the results of the original, and new replication study, and found no evidence for altered cognitive aging in a sample of 88 autistic and 88 non-autistic adults (+ 118 autistic and 118 non-autistic in the previous work).

3/7

Yesterday @CTorenvliet defended her thesis on #autism & #aging. She did an amazing job & her inclusion of autistic adults, her embracement of open science , solid research methods & more was considered excellent. Great to welcome another Doctor with amazing skills!

[Dr. Hilde M. Geurts ([email protected]) @dutcharc]

Yesterday Ilona Schouwenaars of @HANnl succesfully defended her PhD thesis. She co-created a sleep intervention fod autistic teens. Designed together w. autistic teens, special education teachers who needed to deliver the intervention, parents, clinicians etc. So again a new Dr!

[Dr. Hilde M. Geurts ([email protected]) @dutcharc]

Yesterday @TulsiARadhoe defended her thesis on heterogeneity in autistic adults aged 30 to 92 years. She focused on quality of life, experienced cognitive challenges, & experienced mental health difficulties. Part of the VICI project @NWOFunding. So it is now Dr. Radhoe!

[GW4 Neurodevelopmental Neurodiversity Network @neurodnetwork]

New study found similar inhibitory behaviour patterns in autistic & non-autistic adults on Go-NoGo task. For both groups, ADHD symptoms were not linked to inhibition performance & task strategy changed w/ age. A great study by @CTorenvliet @dutcharc et al.:https://t.co/3L9InWdscv

Camouflaging & mental health in autism: "this relationship was strong for only a small subgroup of autistic adults. In most other autistic adults, there was a small or no relationship between camouflaging & mental health difficulties" https://t.co/NJHOLIgzSP free, from @dutcharc

[Dr. Hilde M. Geurts ([email protected]) @dutcharc]

We (d'Arc) organiseren 'n informatiebijeenkomst over #autisme , beetje over #ADHD & over #veroudering . Het is op 4 april. Nieuwsgierig? Zie onze website voor meer info in tekst en een kort filmpje. https://t.co/nG8BwYb9s1

[Dr. Hilde M. Geurts ([email protected]) @dutcharc]

@PsyResUvA Dank!

[Dr. Hilde M. Geurts ([email protected]) @dutcharc]

So if replicated (go colleagues go!) our findings suggest that at least regarding cognition the future prospects are not depending on whether or not you are autistic 7/end
