And thanks to @niallpboyce for making a (not so) long awaited dream come true by featuring our paper in his Thursday #weeklypapers a few weeks back! https://t.co/lUWceZCVsJ
How does communicative handedness differ from motor handedness? What differences in the brain and why could it explain language lateralization there? Some answers from baboons in this 3rd edition of the #WeeklyPapers, with Becker et al. [1/14] https://t.co/Fmaw38IWJJ
On the first day of 2021, I'm looking back at 2020:
I live tweeted 35 papers, three days of conference, and an annual lecture (check out #WeeklyPapers)
I turned my units into online delivery at speed!
I won three grants and ran four research projects
#2020inReview
I'm excited for @DuncanAstle giving the #SalvesenLecture this evening, and will be live tweeting it as one of my #WeeklyPapers series!
Follow this thread to enjoy his insights and thoughts on Brain Diversity in Childhood!

3.1 Mental health ⬆️
For some lockdown meant reduced anxiety from everyday life e.g. social anxiety or anxiety caused by the environment (this was especially true for the autistic participants)
#COVID19 #EatingDisorders #Autism #WeeklyPapers
My #WeeklyPapers is on Sunday this week because it's been one heck of a week, and next week looks like it will be worse.
I'm sharing one I tweeted about a few days ago, looking at the impact of the last lockdown on people with eating disorders - it seemed relevant!
Interestingly, the endorsement of social motivations for drinking goes against some older theories of autism that would expect autistic people not to care about social rewards
(Thanks for that one, Social Motivation Theory 🙄 )
#Autism #Alcohol #WeeklyPapers
It is time for #WeeklyPapers and apropros of nothing, this week I've chosen:
'The Expectancies and Motivations for Heavy Episdoic Drinking of Alcohol in Autistic Adults' (2020) Brosnan & Adams, Autism in Adulthood
...why yes, I did go to a Zoom birthday party last night 😇
I'm doing last weeks #WeeklyPapers today, because I forgot at the weekend (sorry!)
There *will* be a second paper later in the week, I promise.
'Family history of eating disorder and the broad autism phenotype in autism' (2020) Barrionuevo et al., Autism Research
It is time for #WeeklyPapers 35 - and I'm doing a paper I was involved with again 😇
"Quantity and quality of empathic responding by autistic and non-autistic adolescent girls and boys" Rieffe, @rachel_a_oc @FocusEmotions @lauralhull @Een_Psycholoog @AnneBulow (2020) Autism
Lack of correlation with SCQ here suggests that this evidence is inconclusive, as a diff study did find a link.
That's it for the Discussion everyone. I'm not joking.
I know it's a brief report, but wow.
#WeeklyPapers #Autism #AutisticLinguistics
So #WeeklyPapers is a bit late on this week, mostly because I'm actually on leave!
For something a bit different, I'm looking at a new paper which is outside my usual areas (gender/relationships/mental health/camouflaging)
Hoping it is interesting for me and you!

My Thoughts 3
Especially as those differences play into wider assumptions about gender and success and femininity/masculinity.... I now feel like both my critiques are actually one big intertwined ball of critique!
#AutisticSuccess #AutismGender #WeeklyPapers
Conclusions
SDT was used as a framework for understanding answers about success for autistic men, who emphasised competence and autonomy but less so relatedness, which was a more complex picture.
Aut ppl should be given opps to show success to build self-belief
#WeeklyPapers
Limitations
1) small sample size. You all know my views by now - exploratory qual work is by nature small 🤷♀️
2) Australia only - sure, can't be helped!
3) Self-report. I HATE that this is considered a limitation for lived exp work!
#AutisticSuccess #AutismMen #WeeklyPapers
Some of the things men talked about, esp reluctance to ask for help, suggest that gender differentiated strategies for support may be needed (e.g. less likely to go to a mentor?)
FS note: these should not be rigidly applied, obvs!
#AutisticSuccess #AutismMen #WeeklyPapers
Important to note that men volunteered and self-identified as successful, so would be good to know if findings resonate with those who do not feel that way about themselves overall (e.g. may feel successful in something specific)
#AutisticSuccess #AutismMen #WeeklyPapers
Discussion
First study to look at how autistic men define success for themselves, and found that themes were similar to the elements of SDT
Autonomy and competence idenfitied as central, with more complex views on rels with/support from others
#AutisticSuccess #WeeklyPapers
3.2)
Ppts also talked about how they used films, music, and learning from peers/family all helped them develop their sense of the NT rules, and so how to navigate them successfully
#Autism #AutisticSuccess #AutismMen #WeeklyPapers
2.2)
Men all described their skill sets and the areas where they felt strong/secure as ways of demonstrating success e.g. intelligence, self-management strategies
These helped them be successful in overcoming challenges in professional (and wider) lives
