I've compiled a list of common questions I get asked. What's wrong with Social Skills Training? What's the alternative to #PECS? Why is diagnosing #Autistic children with Language Disorder problematic? Why is ToM research flawed? #SLT #SEND #OT autisticslt.com/faqs

When we tell individuals to abandon their own way of languaging, we're essentially asking them to forsake their connections to the very people and places that have shaped their identity.

whether u like it or not, politics form part of your identity personally/professionally. its privilege to think otherwise. not allowing spaces to process political impact or express oneself is SILENCING - y’all love to pick and choose ur social justice when it’s trendy n suits u!

I #homeeducate my kids and I always ask them what they want to learn about. My 8 yo son has asked to learn about why there are different languages in the world. Any resources/books about origin of language and language evolution suitable for kids? #linguist #linguistics #LANGUAGE
