Poster presentation from my postdoc with @cmanning.bsky.social went well, thank you to everyone who came along to chat! Feeling very sleepy for the final day of #insar2025

Learning about autism in a neutral & non-stigmatizing manner, and through the lens of autistic lived experience, benefits autistic children’s self-understanding, emergent autistic identity, sense of belonging, and their communication/self-advocacy skills. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... #INSAR2025

Made it to Seattle for #INSAR2025 !

Two new NIHR funding calls announced today. To test behavioural interventions to treat anxiety disorders in children and young people, and adults with moderate to severe learning disability (including autistic and non-autistic). 2-stage process, stage 1 deadline 30/07. Links in comments.

Very happy to say that my team have played a part in influencing NIHR to put out this call to fund a clinical trial of a high-intensity NHS talking therapy protocol adapted for autistic adults www.nihr.ac.uk/funding/2487...

Today in autistic people saying "I told you so": Nearly 90% of researchers who develop robots for autistic people **didn’t bother to ask autistic people if they need the technologies**, per UCSD autistic researcher Naba Rizvi: today.ucsd.edu/story/comput...
