Does ADHD cause learning difficulties? RI-CLPMs show: • no cross-lagged effects with reading fluency or arithmetic • consistent effects from ADHD to later reading comprehension Shared risk factors explain most overlap—except for comprehension, where ADHD predicts slower growth. 🔗 osf.io/rvd9q/ 2/5

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.

Excited to share a new Project RESPECT paper out today in RASE, defining special educators' working conditions! We often talk about "working conditions" but seldom precisely define them. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

RFK Jr. revealed that he personally ordered the CDC to change its website to push the widely debunked claim that vaccines and autism are linked

Can anyone see the comments on ED's request for feedback on redesigning IES? www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... I can see elsewhere that there were 438 comments but not the comments themselves.

It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years! Mentee form: forms.gle/um5DvYnBi3tn... Mentor form: forms.gle/BvaxnQm8uhUR... Applications due December 5th!

this is happening in my neighborhood, and while horrified that it has come to this, i am also so proud

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

My annual reminder to students that you want a letter of recommendation from someone that can speak to your work and your work ethic in detail. Get to know your professors before you need a letter, and ask the professors that have commented on your work. Office hours are ideal for this.

Anyone have a tool that they use with college/grad students to identify their study preferences or needs as learners? I'm trying to help a colleague replace a learning styles questionnaire with something more legit. Thanks! #AcademicSky #EduSky #HigherEd

@lizbettini.bsky.social presents on special education teacher working conditions as they relate to turnover and staffing. This is a super important topic that they’re addressing with cool methods! #SREE2025

Stay strong, stay beautiful, Chicago. c

@afgilmour.bsky.social addresses a major barrier in this line of research: figuring out who special education teachers are from the data.

Last day of #SREE2025! Looking forward to @afgilmour.bsky.social & @michellecumming.bsky.social talking teacher workforce.

I’m naming this a Type 3 error.

Thanks to the panelists and hosts @jxjwang.bsky.social & @lindyjjohnson.bsky.social for the conversation on continuing critical ed research in the current climate. #SREE2025

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

The disability community needs support & solidarity to fight these pharmaceutical tariffs. Most of us can barely afford our medications as is. We can’t suddenly stop taking them, we will die. We can’t stockpile them. A 100% tariff will cost lives.

ChatGPT worth it to you?

The pep band practices within earshot of my class and while it does sometimes feel like a real hard mode test of my ADHD, I don’t hate it. They’re having so much fun and spreading joy. #AcademicSky

I am looking for absolutely stellar examples of specific aims' pages. Does anyone have one that they wouldn't mind sharing? I am talking about, basically the perfect one-pager. TIA. #academicsky #proposalwriting #writing

Take a moment and read this, friends.

Anyone else hear about the growing research connecting prunes with increased bone health and buy a giant bag of them? In any case, feel free to send all prune-forward recipes my way LOL

The message is very clear, from @drmbothapsych.bsky.social when you dehumanise people in research people disengage morally from the outcomes. E.g. you can do research that harms, but you don't care, because you've morally disconnected from those in your research. This is happening in autism research

Excellent detective work below from Dominique! It's always a good idea to validate (or conduct data sanity checks) on your data before using it. Not sure what to check? Here are some examples! osf.io/t8upr

My most cited paper was rejected from 4 journals before acceptance at its final journal publisher. The editors at that journal told me, several years later, that it was one of their most cited articles since the journal’s founding.

Paper acceptances are always worth celebrating here, but this one feels extra good. We had a paper accepted yesterday after rejections from 6 other journals, starting with a desk reject in 2020. 🌟 Every paper has a home 🌟 #AcademicSky #SpecialEducation

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

If you had a federal grant focused on #Autism or #ActuallyAutistic people canceled, I'd love to speak with you. My Signal is emgarcia.85. Thank you.

If you are a parent of a kid you think might #ActuallyAutistic and don't want to get them screened because of RFK Jr., I'd love to talk with you for a piece. DM me or [email protected]. My Signal is emgarcia.85

Love to see this work pushing our field forward. Well done, @jxjwang.bsky.social & Dr. Shikarpurya!!

The Trump administration says it will withhold $350 million in grants to hundreds of colleges that serve large populations of minority students, calling the decades-old programs discriminatory.

"We are again confronting a massive attack on the very foundations of democratic education + the stakes feel even higher. In the 50s the targets were individual teachers—communists progressives liberals +their leftwing unions. Now the target is the system itself" www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-g...

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

EVERYONE IN CHICAGOLAND: Save this number in your phone. If you see an ICE raid: 1. Ask the the person their name 2. Ask who to call to let them know they’ve been taken by ICE 3. Tell them to not say anything 4. Call this number to report the arrest If possible video it

Oh sorry did someone say they wanted to see my garden?

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
