An #NIH-funded study provides new insight into the challenges of nonverbal communication faced by autistic adults. Researchers hope the study will inform improved communication efforts for those with family, friends, colleagues or patients that are autistic, including being open to their preferred communication style and checking in to make sure a message was received correctly. bit.ly/3TOTLAB

#AutisticAdults report that decoding nonverbal social cues requires intense mental effort, often leading to misunderstandings. Inclusive communication can reduce anxiety and improve social connection. @portsmouthuni @PLOSONE doi.org/g9sxr4 medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-a…

Excited to share our recent publication in @PLOSONE exploring how autistic adults experience nonverbal communication. Co-authored with @drstevenkapp, @HRadders, and Dr. Ashley de Marchena. So grateful for this amazing team! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

You know rights, services, research+ are in danger when historic adversaries release a joint statement by leading autism advocacy orgs. Eugenic rhetoric & policy need to be eradicated, not autism. Baseless conspiracy peddlers are toxifying the environment. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/leadin…
