Does neurotype affect social connection? Our new @PLOSONE paper finds autistic people report lower rapport in conversations, but it's not that simple. We found that awareness of who you're talking to is key! Paper link (OA): doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…

Last week, the Learning About Neurodiversity at School #LEANSproject celebrated 3 years since releasing our 100% free classroom resources 🥳 Changing minds and practices takes time--thank you SO much for continuing to download, share, and use LEANS, wherever you are in the world!

I'm excited to share my first registered report on social interactions in @journalautism! Our study explores how social motor synchrony – the natural mirroring of movements – impacts rapport between autistic, neurotypical, and mixed dyads. Thread 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

I am devastated. I am gutted by the loss of @stevesilberman. He changed my life. Without his work, I never would have come around to accepting myself. We met in person only once on a train to New York City but he became such an incredible presence. He was my friend. I loved him.
