🎉My qualitative paper on positive body image in autistic folks is finally here! doi.org/10.1016/j.body… Here, we found PBI to encompass both the 'aesthetic' (how the body looks) and 'sensory' body (how the body feels) among autistic adults. #ActuallyAutistic

My undergraduate student is looking for #ADHD folks to take part in her qualitative study on #bodyimage. If interested, please follow the link: bit.ly/ADHDbodyimage, or you can email me at phaedra.longhurst@aru.ac.uk ☺️

👋 We are currently looking for participants to take part in our study exploring #bodyimage among folks with a #ChronicPain condition. This will involve taking part in a one-to-one interview lasting approx. 60 minutes. If interested, please follow: bit.ly/49JNyyk

Do you experience autistic inertia? Are you over 18 and based in the UK? Please consider taking part in a research interview to help us understand how autistic inertia changes over time. For more info and to express an interest: qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_3a…

My MSc students are conducting an important research project exploring body image and eating behaviours among men. While we know that men can and do struggle with these issues, it remains a topic that is often under-researched and overlooked. exe.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8e…

Autistic women or non-binary participants (18+) needed📢 We would like to hear your valuable expertise in reviewing an intervention that aims to prevent body image concerns and disordered eating. For more info, please email Hannah at h.k.lewis@qmul.ac.uk

@heasutherland This is really useful to see someone describe what their revisions were. I often feel there's taboo around it, even though it's to be expected. I have my viva on the 4th and I'm nervous to think of what revisions it'll need 😭😬

Thesis corrections were submitted Saturday! Three added sections on the ethics of and participation recruitment for my studies, and also a bit on my epistemology and how that interacted with my methods. Hard work to write them, but glad I did it - the thesis is better with them.

@Karri_G_Smith @fionaduffypsy @EDACautism_ED Stop giving me FOMO, Karri 😭

@fionaduffypsy kicking off #eatingdisorders network meeting with our sister networks in #Edinburgh and it’s actually sunny! @EDACautism_ED

As part of my MSc dissertation, I’m exploring the risk and protective factors associated with eating disorders in autistic and/or ADHD individuals. I invite you to complete the survey. @Karri_G_Smith lnkd.in/gcPpMs7c #ADHD #AutismAwareness #EatingDisorders #Research

We need more researchers whose reflexivity make them say, "I am not the best person to do this research or to lead this research project, so I am not going to do it." And less of those who do the research anyway despite their ‘limitations’ and try to justify their choice.

@DrHannahBelcher Butter is 😙👌

3 weeks later... the 'Get Britain Working' Green Paper detailing extensive cuts to benefits with immeasurable impact on Disabled people has finally been published in accessible formats, which you can access here 👇 disabilityrightsuk.org/news/green-pap…

@Jinbo_He_ @WesleyRBarnhar1 @jasonmnagata 👏👏👏

Thrilled to see this paper online! (authors.elsevier.com/a/1koW96BgRuHJ…). We discuss muscularity stigma as an important form of appearance stigma, introduce a conceptual model, provide future research directions, and call for more research on muscularity stigma @WesleyRBarnhar1 @jasonmnagata

My third PhD study has been published and is currently available OA, just in time for submitting my thesis 🎉🤸 We found positive autistic identity is associated with flourishing via positive body image for (some) autistic folks! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This study has been developed by our gender diverse and neurodiverse research team in collaboration with our advisory board of community members and professionals, including @beatED. Please share with your networks and anyone who might be interested in participating! 🏳️‍⚧️

@Karri_G_Smith @eatsleeplaugh I wish I could join you guys 😭

Just a reminder we have our exhibition in Inspace at Crichton street from 1st-8th March (closed sun/tues/thurs). Here is a video made by our awesome researcher @eatsleeplaugh to help you find us!

To my fellow AuDHDers, I would like to incorporate some PPI into the development of my grant proposal. While I do not have the funds to reimburse you, having your input would be a huge help in pursuing this important work! If interested, DM or email me at PL428@pgr.aru.ac.uk

Looking forward to this exhibition of images of autistic individuals experiences of eating disorders and what we should be researching. It's free, in Edinburgh in time for #EDAW25 and we will be also showing it later online on EDACs website for those who can't make it in person
