A bit surreal & exciting to have my first paper as first author out just before attending my first INSAR. Thanks

Pleased to share a new preprint reporting community involvement in autism research. In Jan 2021, @journalautism introduced mandatory reporting of community involvement. Our team of autistic and non-autistic researchers evaluated the impact of this policy.

I was dx'd too long ago to qualify for this study on #latediagnosis and #mentalhealth clinicians, but a worthwhile study for those who meet the criteria & are interested in it. In the twitter thread it's confirmed there are two #ActuallyAutistic people on the project's team.
No More “Hidden” Autistic Adults…
Are you an Autistic adult living in Australia? Were you diagnosed as an adult from 2013 onwards? Do you want to help improve how mental health clinicians identify and diagnose autism in adults?

Every so often I think I should use #linkedin more then I go on there for like 2 mins & instantly get multiple predatory DMs asking me to sign up the little start up I work for to buying $5k of signage or wellness programs or asking me to apply for jobs unrelated to my expertise
How can autistic adults thrive? This should be one of the questions at the heart of autism research. Excited to have examined it with an amazing team of autistic and non-autistic co-authors. You can read it here (should be free to access): rdcu.be/cUZkz
RT @NLRThornton - #autismresearch study on #Autistic adults attitudes towards recreational drugs including their potential for use as clinical treatments for #mentalhealth conditions. Only a short survey but an important area. Caregivers can also complete the survey (1/2)
Note: this is not connected with Macquarie Uni or any other org I'm associated with. I just went to high school with one of the investigators a long time ago & saw them sharing it. (2/2)

Title: AUTISM RESEARCH TODAY
Main text:
Are you an Autistic adult?
Are you a parent or guardian of an
Autistic person?
Do you work with Autistic people (e.g. as
an educator, clinician, or in allied health)? Are you an autism researcher?
If you answered "YES" to ANY of these questions, then we would love to know what YOU think about autism research today.
Expressions of interest are now open for those living in Australia or the United Kingdom.
