Excitement is brewing as we gear up for the Student and Trainee Committee (STC) Pre-conference workshop at INSAR 2024. This year, our theme is From Ph.D. to Postdoc. See you soon!
Super proud of this paper - tackling a topic that has been overlooked by autism research for far too long. Brilliantly co-produced with inspiring autistic and non-autistic colleagues: liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/a… free-to-access until 16th Jan - get in quick!
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.
My diagram for "PPI/ Participatory research and the Research Cycle" is now ready! 😊
Months of hard work, but co-produced & a visual resource for researchers who want to work meaningfully with communities

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/…
📢NEW PAPER: In this Perspective, I challenged several recent claims made re: ECRs changing research directions due to the public scrutiny; often described with an ominous undertone. 1/
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.

Lay summaries are a great way to share our research with a wider audience, yet they need to be MUCH better (cheeky little recommendation for journal editors to consider autistic reviewers too - um yes?) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…@arcap_aus
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!
