What the Double Empathy Problem Is (and Is Not). Kilgallon E, Botha M, Dwyer P, et al. Autism in Adulthood. 2026;0(0). journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very excited and proud to share that @emmajenks.bsky.social and I have just published this open-access research paper centered around neurodiversity-affirming concepts and practices! #Monotropism #DoubleEmpathy #intensiveinteraction nasenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

There is no single script for Intensive Interaction; it is relational knowledge, built slowly, held carefully, and grounded in a genuine desire to be with someone rather than to do something to them or to achieve targets. Co-authored with @jo3grace.bsky.social autisticrealms.com/intensive-in...

"The Autistic SPACE framework was initially developed to improve health care for autistic people" & is now being promoted as "improving school environments for autistic young people" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... note: the benefits vs harms of Autistic SPACE have not yet been tested

Autistic Children Can and Do Play: Innovative Perspectives on Functional Play by Hecker-Deel & Finke (2025) Includes references to how monotropism may impact play too :) journals.lww.com/topicsinlang...

Autism isn’t caused by medicine. Claims that paracetamol in pregnancy causes autism are false. We do not need to prevent or cure autism. Autistic people are valuable. Great guidance here from @contactfamilies.bsky.social for anyone who is worried or concerned with the news today.

Alternatively, we can learn from #autistic and other #neurodivergent authored theory & #EdRes, and use #neuro-affirming approaches. Less danger of #schooldistress, #masking and #burnout. @autisticrealms.bsky.social & @tanyaadkin.bsky.social have a fab explainer: autisticrealms.com/neuro-affirm...

Me and Monotropism: A unified theory of autism. @fergus.oolong.co.uk – science teacher, writer and 'autist' – on single attention and associated cognition in autism; a theory with a family connection… Now with 2025 update. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

What a joy to be part of such an inspirational, diverse and inclusively minded 3 days at the first LICIE conference! Overjoyed that a quote from one of my participants about addressing the ‘Double Empathy Problem’ was included in the live artwork 🤩 Hats off to everyone involved! #LICIE2025

I am excited to announce that I will be presenting my MSc research about autistic pupils' strong interests at the LICIE conference at @ucl.ac.uk!
