NEW PAPER (ish - I'm also just delayed) journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Using Q Methodology, a Group of Neurodivergent Neurodiversity Researchers Ask: What is the Neurodiversity Movement and what should it do?

Time to re-share this piece I made a year ago today about neurodiversity and neurodivergence, and why the important distinctions between them is not about grammar/linguistics.

There is a growing push to make research data 'open' (i.e., not just stored by the original research team, for no one else to use). In our new study, we examined the views of autistic adults and parents of autistic children on this issue. Results suggest a cautious, nuanced approach is needed...

V cool finding showing autistic people are not so dependent on synchrony to feel positive about an interaction (without showing less synchrony overall compared with non-autistic pairs) Also the first ever registered report published in @journalautism.bsky.social !!

Still (just) time to submit!

New studies on how rapport differs between autistic & non-autistic ppl suggest having other autistic interactants is more important for autistics' ease, enjoyment: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/..., & social-motor synchrony is more important for non-autistics: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I started Weird Pride Day in 2021, but the roots of pride as a political tool go back through decades of the LGBTQ liberation movement, to Black power in the 1960s. Weird Pride in particular is a concept that many people, from a variety of backgrounds, have arrived at independently.
