A bit more on this #MonotropismQuestionnaire thing. I’ve been emphasising that the new quiz is NOT an autism assessment not bc I’m making an academic point or bc I’m trying to be overly precise, but because I believe that there can be harm at this stage from using it that way.

Important thread on our recently published (open access) monotropism questionnaire. In a nutshell: monotropism is super interesting and important… …but our questionnaire is NOT a new way to classify who is / isn’t autistic.

I am really thrilled to share our preprint on the Monotropism Questionnaire development & validation study. Lots of you probably took part in this online survey last summer, led by my then-student @VSMGarau We're incredibly proud of the work. osf.io/ft73y/

Tune into the @Autistica Research Festival at 1pm today for my poster presentation about the preliminary development and validation of a self-report measure of #monotropism in autism. @Richard_Autism, @MxOolong, and I will be taking questions through the live Q&A chat.

calling #psychiatry and #ClinicalPsychology people... what academic journals are you most likely to read? especially what journals would best reach a broad clinical psychology / psychiatry readership - e.g in CAMHS or general adult services - who are not autism specialists?

Posting a bit late, but I submitted my dissertation on the development of a #monotropism questionnaire last week, which concludes my MSc @UoE_Psychology 🎉

Hello folks, I’m currently looking for resources on #autism and #ADHD for children/young people and I would love to hear your suggestions, especially for resources you found useful when you were a child or have used as a parent. Thanks in advance! #askautistics #askadhd

@VSMGarau I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, so was my son. Over my life, I developed strategies that work for both me and him. I took the time to write a book (and audio book) about it. You can find the link in my bio. A lot of people have found the info to be a game changer.

@ScotCitylink Hiya, I’m wondering if there are any updates on the 900 service from Edinburgh to Glasgow? Been waiting at Shandwick Place since 2.50pm and no buses have come so far. Thank you! :)

@Richard_Autism @MxOolong @SueReviews For now, I can’t say whether any autistic participants provided feedback on the validity of the MQ’s items with any certainty. Regarding any further development of the items, I think we would be doing the MQ a disservice by merely settling for statistically significant outcomes.

@Richard_Autism @MxOolong @SueReviews We had agreed that the data wouldn’t be shared or analysed further while the dissertation is being reviewed. I’m now waiting for the green light to share it with collaborators including you, Richard - once that is done we can look at the feedback more systematically.
