@DrJBarbaro @JacdenHouting

@LinguisticAut @JacdenHouting So happy for you both ❤️ And looking absolutely 👌👌👌

Just letting you all know that I just married @JacdenHouting

Check out this brilliant new piece in @PsychToday by @LinguisticAut and @BullussErin! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 psychologytoday.com/us/blog/insigh…

@ijturton @cindytekobbe Because it’s common to set deadlines for something like “end of week 7” rather than a specific date so that the assessment outline can be recycled for the following semester.

I've asked students to stop sending me doctor's notes related to their absences. Their medical history and treatment is none of my business. Novel idea: if you say you can't come to class, I believe you.

I’ve heard getting old can be a bit of a drag, but I’d really like to give it a crack anyway. 10/10

We need more professionals like @PierreChengQian to help address these systemic issues to achieve more accessible healthcare. @PiaLBradshaw is doing some great research in this area and @cnicolaidis and colleagues developed the very excellent AASPIRE Toolkit. 9/10

Access to healthcare is a really big deal for Autistic people. A recent study found that 34% of respondents opted not to seek care for a “potentially serious or life-threatening condition” (@MaryDoherty et al., 2022) 🧵 1/10

Social media is reminding me of the time I took umbrage to the misspelling of “chute” in the law building. The sign I created as an addendum stayed there for an entire year.

If you’re an Autistic in NSW and find the information in an automated text message inadequate to prepare you for hospital admission, @NSWHealth has even more inadequate info for disabled patients online.

I went on a plane (some weeks back) and did an in-person thing with in-person people including @JacdenHouting, @alison_nuske, and @Clbrownlow. Just like the Before Times when I used to teach in a classroom.

@AutismAnglia @SNEEICB_NEE Attempting to define neurodiversity through medicalised terms totally misses the point.
