I just read this post by @autistica.org.uk helping people make sense of the Trump administration's claims regarding the link between #Tylenol / #paracetamol and #autism: shorturl.at/LYe6Q It's a great, easy-to-follow, and accurate summary of the claims vis-a-vis evidence. Definitely recommended!

I'm so excited to finally share work that’s been a couple of years in the making! See our new paper on *social interactions in #autism*, co-authored with Isabel Dziobek, @antoniahamilton.bsky.social & @thaliawheatley.bsky.social in @autisminadulthood.bsky.social 🎉 www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Submit abstracts for short talks and apply for travel grants sites.google.com/site/reading.... We look forward to seeing you at #ReadEmo25

Here's a question to #Autistic friends: What do you think about "a person *in* the spectrum" instead of "*on* the spectrum"? This "in" is supposed to reflect better the multidimensionality of autism characteristics and reject the idea of linearity. PS. I don't know who to credit for the image...🫣

Autistic and neurotypical adults use different neural mechanisms to integrate AV speech, but benefit equally in word recognition 🧠 📜New paper in Autism Research (OA):📜 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... w/ @mrgbcn.bsky.social, @sotarokita.bsky.social, & @mireiatorralba.bsky.social 🙏

I'm happy to share that our paper on social motion preference in autistic adults with Salva Soto Farco @mrgbcn.bsky.social and Nico Bast is now published in Psychophysiology: doi.org/10.1111/psyp... 🎉 Find a summary of the study below 👇 @upf.edu @humboldtuni.bsky.social #autism #research

Yesterday ended a life changing chapter of my career: a DAAD PRIME Fellowship spanning stages at Dartmouth College, UCL, & Humboldt Uni 🙏to @antoniahamilton.bsky.social, @thaliawheatley.bsky.social and Isabel Dziobek for hosting my project, and to all my amazing colleagues for making it so great!

So excited for this new chapter! And very grateful for the opportunity :)

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Reactivating my bsky after a while with a great excuse: What a treat to present my first preliminary results from a big study on autistic and neurotypical interactions at the 12th #MindBrainBody Symposium! 🙏 Take-home: Smile synchronisation is important for establishing rapport, autistic or not!🙃🙂

🕒 less than 24h until the doors to the 12th #MindBrainBody Symposium will open. Safe travels and very much looking forward to seeing you there! Please check out day 1 below and find all details at mindbrainbody.de
