Join us at the International Fragile X Conference this summer! The families are the BEST! 💚 It’s been a rough week of work, but the kind words in this video made it end on a sweet note! @NFXFoundation #fragilex instagram.com/reel/C6OhBlHu8…

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. 🙏
23 Aug 2023
Recruitment for the AASPIRE Outcomes Project is Open Now! Be a part of our study where we see how outcomes (that matter most to autistic adults) change over time. We also hope to better understand what supports/services may help autistic adults thrive! aaspire.org/projects/outcome…

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?

Leaving the Eras Tour, stuck in a crowd trying to get out w/ my 9 yr old, I thought, “This is how shootings happen. We would all have no where to go & be dead.” What a terrifying thought.
How is that the world we live in? We have to do better America. #GunControl #ItsNotOk
