I know the phrase "neurodiversity affirming" is a new buzzword in therapy, but as an autistic therapist it sounds VERY much like allistics heard neurodiversity is the new thing and want to jump on that for branding purposes without ever really learning or changing.

Thanks to @liz_pellicano for leading on this new letter to the editor, just published in @journalautism, about the issues we've had on several recent research studies (🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸) where we think we've fallen foul of 'scammer participants'. 🧵1/ journals.sagepub.com/eprint/…

I have no idea what I actually said during this interview, so if you’d like to find out, you’ll have to listen!

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

Reflections on #ASfAR2022 as an #ActuallyAutistic researcher: Progress. We’ve come a LONG way in a short time. My first ASfAR conference was Perth, 2016. I could count on one hand the number of openly autistic people who attended, let alone presented. 1/

The non-autistic presenters I saw at #ASfAR2022 were, almost universally, clearly making efforts to progress towards neurodiversity-affirming, participatory research and practice. There’s still room for improvement, of course - there always is. 3/

But it was heartening to see how much things have changed, and I’m excited to see where this progress will take us in the future. Thanks #ASfAR2022 - bring on #ASfAR2023!
