Appreciate Wiki Education for featuring my role as a Wiki Scientist. I wrote a new Wikipedia page on diagnostic overshadowing in autism—an underrepresented but critical issue where scholarship and lived experience intersect. 👉 wikiedu.org/blog/2025/09...

Featured in this article by Dennis Tran for Cold Tea Collective on 10 Pan-Asian disabled change makers. "It’s about claiming space that recognizes autism is both an ability and a disability […] not either-or," coldteacollective.com/disability-p...

We were all in awe and thrilled to have Holden Throp visit the Wallace Multisensory Lab. And he got to try out my VR research task too. Seriously, how cool is that! Thank you Holden Thorp @wallacelab.bsky.social

Too often, disability discourse gets stuck in binaries: Medical vs. Social. Autonomy vs. Dependence. Strengths vs. Deficits. Real inclusion means opportunities and solutions—together. Neurodiversity 2.0 maps the barriers and the path forward. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #Neurodiversity

New co-author publication! ✨ How can educators harness autistic students’ focused interests; like Ancient Greece or sharks, to boost classroom engagement? We offer strategies to turn passions into pathways for learning. doi.org/10.1177/0040... #Autism #Education #Neurodiversity #FocusedInterests

looking for recommendations for a free (or very low cost) barcode that is re-usable and can work for a number of years. Nothing fancy - just need the barcode to lead to a specific url.

Great time watching @VandyBoys Vanderbilt Baseball game with Prof @cjcascio.bsky.social 's AutismLasR research lab team.

Essential piece by @neuroscientist.bsky.social about autism and loneliness. By making "independence" the platonic ideal for all people, it can wind up breeding the type of loneliness that can harm #ActuallyAutistic people. time.com/6551520/lone...

There is a loneliness pandemic in the US per US Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy (PD Soros conf keynote). Got me thinking. My article in TIME magazine on the paradox of independence and loneliness in autism. time.com/6551520/lone...   #autism @pdsoros @opedproject #disability
