@jo3grace I’d love to know when this event is. Is it online?

heckle me as I present (I know people who would buy tickets just to watch that! [The event is free to attend so no need]).

Running with this one this morning (spot my husband's camera sense in the background). She runs ultra marathons and has just come back from hotter climbs so is a direct route to feelings of inadequacy. I was talking about an upcoming event I am doing about

Really disappointed with the new labour government. Schools are already on their knees, having made budget cut after budget cut, year after year. This will have, and is having, a direct impact on the quality children’s education #InvestInEducation #ValueEducation

Elinor is looking for #ActuallyAutistic undergraduate or taught masters university students to participate in a study about family support at uni. Please share and participate it you can.

Hearing Loss is a major risk factor for dementia. Most people are unaware of this fact. And more importantly that this risk can be reduced. 🧵👇 /1

New follow-up school-based practitioner paper to our Avoiding Ableist Language: Suggestions for Autism Researchers paper. We explain and examine ableism in schools using applied examples and provide suggestions to help school professionals better adopt an anti-ableist stance. 👇

The video from my talk at @LearningMet's seminar series, "Friendships, fear, and (double) empathy: an ethnography of social care services for autistic people with high support needs" is now up! 🎥Check it out at heasutherland.com/talk/friendshi…

“I have seen men survive diseases that women do not because of the care that women caregivers provide to their male partner when they are sick-I have only seen that happen once or twice for a female patient being taken care of by a man when she is sick.” My jaw is on the floor.

Reasonable adjustments are so important for creating an environment to thrive in for people with autism - so many great tips and ideas here from @AutisticGirls_ If you’re employed in a school give this a read! autisticgirlsnetwork.org/reasonable-adj… #teachersoftwitter #twittereps #educhat

Please take part and share if you are able

Our new paper @AutismAdulthood found much consensus against normalization & for well-being, societal reform & supportive environments in autism community: findings were robust to closeness to autistics w/ intellectual disabilities & nonspeaking autistics. liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/au…

@jo3grace I like the rimless ones best. All very nice though!

#phdlife has broken my sight, meaning I must return to my pre pubescent state of being, what was then referred to as, a specky-four-eyes. Which pair is best? And can you spot the odd one out, 2 are apparently 'designer' 1 bog standard.
