"Reacting, Retreating, Regulating, and Reconnecting: How Autistic Adults in the United Kingdom Use Time Alone for Well-Being" is now open access. It is based on the qualitative findings from my PhD - I hope you enjoy it! liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.10… @SedgewickF @PublicHealthUWE

The opacity of academic prose arises from the epistemological imperative to operationalize disciplinary jargon, facilitating intra-specialized discourse while obfuscating heterogenous interpretive accessibility and perpetuating a recursive dialectic of erudition and exclusion.

At the beginning of a new term, can we suggest easing back into research with the refreshing summer round-up of papers on Neurodiverse Connection: ndconnection.co.uk/blog/research-…

@AmyBeardy Congratulations!!

@JWhite49000 Thank you so much - I'm glad you liked it!

Just finished reading this amazing piece of work; truly amazing to see academic studies directed towards this often overlooked area of neurodivergent life. Very relatable!

"Spending time with others was desirable...[yet] without frequent access to alone-time in safe spaces [...] being sociable was a source of stress rather than enjoyment." Something that friends and family members of autistic persons must understand and respect better

@claruineill @thinkingautism @SedgewickF @PublicHealthUWE I hope you enjoy it!

@DrFloNeville @thinkingautism @SedgewickF @PublicHealthUWE Can't wait to read this.
