There are no universal ‘social skills’ Teaching social skills is assimilation because it’s not social skills, it’s Neuroconformity imposed on us Teaching Autistics to communicate in a non-autistic way is disrespectful of Autistic communication 1/

Hello #chi2023! I am doing a run on Saturday. Lately I have been listening to research papers using TTS while on my easy runs. Suggestions? I have an interest in these areas but am open! * cultural heritage * neurodiversity * collaborative design * social justice-oriented HCI?

Social gatherings can be great but can be stressful or overwhelming for some. Give everyone the #SameChance to enjoy this Easter “as they are”
