Yes, metacognition can be taught. Seven great questions to get students thinking about thinking.

@AnsonDownes @jillboard @JenniferMudge Syd sparkles and Melb has been awarded the most livable city in the world for the past seven consecutive years. Proud Aussie here and our cities are gorgeous.

@LivPsy Seriously? Who has the time to juggle and keep track of all 3? Not this Mumma.

@bbcpointswest @AutismTalkASD Bless him. 👏 Super hard, courageous and selfless job. Interestingly, the Police force appears to attract many people on the spectrum diagnosed or suspected. Neurodivergence has so much to offer.

Overly #competitive #parents: your kid is just that. Let them make mistakes, let them be their age, let them have their #childhood. News flash: no one is perfect all the time! #giveitarest #letkidsbekids #ParentingHack

@AutismFamily And yet it’s not considered diagnostically significant. Massive oversight. Motor signs are ‘easier’ indicators to pick up if you’re a parent that something’s amiss. Why is it not included?

#Autistics aren't hard to shop for! Try listening and paying attention to what they like. Stop trying to force the "Typical" gifts on them. If your child wants a book on worms, BUY IT! If your child wants a trip to a vacuum store, DO IT! That's how you show love. #autism

Am a Qualtrics convert. Survey Monkey bye bye. You lost me @$200 for a survey with more than 9 questions. PhD means I’m working on a BUDGET. #Fridaywineday 🍷 #PhD #surveys #research #Neurodiversity #craniumcrash #OT #nocti_mumma #autism #love

Instead of watching in judgement, look for opportunities to help. It takes a village to raise all of our kids. #asd #spd #AutismAwareness #autismadvocate #Neurodiversity #mumsneedssupporttoo #lovemychild

“I’m being led by the hand by my child, not the other way around.” - Richard's son Jaco has autism, and their relationship as they grow together is amazing. ❤️

[Sammy Pearce @Memos_by_Sam]

@bbcstories @AmbitiousAutism When you accept the diagnosis and what changes to your perceived parenting journey that means, all things feel possible. Love Richard’s insight and acceptance of Jaco. 👏👏

37 degrees. Everyone is “melting down.” Cooling off and self regulating in style. #legsfordays #asd #melbheat #lovemykid #neurodiversity #functionalactivity #OT

Help needed. Constructing an online survey. What’s a good free program for survey design that allows for more than 10 questions? #online survey #program #asd #research #pre-doctorate #help

@Autism Another ignorant bully in power. #idiot

[Sammy Pearce @Memos_by_Sam]

When you see a child thrashing, hitting, melting down. Ask the Mum if you can help. She may say no but her heart will be forever grateful. #autism
