🧠 Neurodevelopmental conditions like #Autism, #ADHD & more share overlapping traits. A transdiagnostic framework could unlock new treatments & better support for children. @adamguastella.bsky.social Read more ➡️ bit.ly/Transdiagnos...

There is a growing debate about traits that appear across multiple neurodevelopmental conditions that aren't unique to autism. @adamguastella.bsky.social and Kelsie Boulton explain how a transdiagnostic approach can lead to a more developmentally sensitive science. bit.ly/42K3myj

Thank you @_TheTransmitter publishing our work on advantages of a transdiagnostic approach to neurodevelopment We believe the approach will facilitate access to core supports to children faster, to a greater number and the quality of science for mechanisms and support pathways

My latest paper looks at how and why people use voluntary deposit limits. We found that most online sports bettors see deposit limits as useful and good practice, but these are for those who can't control their gambling Barriers to use include not knowing what limit to set doi.org/10.1080/1366...

We recommend: * Repositioning 'limits' as 'budgets' * Moving limits to general account tools * Providing personalised suggestions based on spend and affordability for what limit to set * Normalising use of limits to encourage uptake Thanks to the @brainandmindcentre.bsky.social & Sportsbet
