How do #prenatal & #postnatal periods shape the developing human #cortex? This study uses #neonatal MRI to show that time in the womb drives widespread, uniform maturation, whereas time after birth produces more region- & depth-specific changes across the cortex @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/47o6rpk

2 new copyrighted measures dictating what autistics should do in research, and how?--a lot of autistic contributions (e.g. mine) get graded poorly, disparaged as non-meaningful, non-genuine, etc journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... authors gave "paid guest lectures" on this & declare no COIs?

Proud to share my first editorial as one of the editors of Autism @journalautism.bsky.social We wrote about our experiences of trying to implement participatory autism research for the first time in Brazil @tallytafla.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very happy to share that Priscilla Godoy and I were awarded a new grant to conduct our implementation+effectiveness study of PACT in the Brazil public health system, which we are co-producing with Brazilian autistic adults and parents. We even have services in the middle of the Amazon...!!

Delighted to start the week with the first paper from my lab being accepted for publication. We report preliminary data on the feasibility of the preemptive iBASI therapy to support the early development of infants with family history of autism and ADHD in Brazil.

A happy day moving my lab (NINA Lab on Instagram) to our new work home at the Institute of Psychology, University of São Paulo 😎🤓

Spent the weekend running training for Brazilian professionals in Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT)... our third training session in Brazil, now a total of 40 new PACT therapists in various parts the country, from Amazonas to Santa Catarina! www.pactbrasil.com.br
