@BlackAutistics Interesting...

Does anyone have access to this article that they wouldn't mind sharing? liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/au…

👋

The reality of an #ActuallyAutistic in a masked world? Went out to do the groceries only 4 times since the March lockdown because the masks are a sensation and social nightmare. Just thought you should know... #livedexperience 🤷‍♀️

Pay Attention. And take care. Lovely images by „blessthemessy“ and „crafting witch“ posted on their Instagram Account.

Well, maybe asking #ActuallyAutistic how they succeed to navigate an NT-like life, without relying on treatments, might be helpful but they don't really ask... Just saying🤷‍♀️

“The study emphasizes the power of African genomics to inform complex disorders. By looking just at one particular population like we’ve been doing, that leaves the whole picture of human genetic diversity incomplete.” bit.ly/African_autism…

Cardiac activity could reveal autism’s physiology and confirm a hunch many clinicians share: that people with autism experience great stress bit.ly/autism_heart

I just donated to @Wikipedia. Support free knowledge! #iloveWikipedia donate.wikimedia.org/?utm_medium=So…

Current treatments refer to an average non existing persona. In clinical trials between 201-19 just 5% were black, 12% Asian, majority white. We must change this with #PrecisionMedicine. Our CEO @TEDxPadova #TEDxSpeaker #identity

@Jewel_Crush_Axe @wgoldstories @resimpacademy @honest_academic @AsmaaAlduhaim @larissapolitics I truly love how we disagree so often, in a peaceful and very constructive way. It brings so much to the conversations and the @scikoop project. Thank you :)

@wgoldstories bc of diverse perspectives in #scicomm @salin_adele a great friend who constantly disagrees &enriches my experiences @resimpacademy for sharing so much learning @honest_academic for her courage &perseverance @AsmaaAlduhaim for her kindness @larissapolitics for

I am grateful @NeuroSarcastic for the mention. Inspiration is in our conversations even when we don't agree but are happy to exchange viewpoints. Another 9 ppl who inspire me, let's see @PapavasileiouWX for his amazing weather comms @maxrietkerk for his #ClimateChange series

@Jewel_Crush_Axe Ha, that's a good question. I do it just once but usually the argument needs to be dissected, decomposed and then debunked. I did the exercise with a famous anti-vaxx ”infographic”, the subject shifted instead to how to produce a vaccine that is ”bio”. m.youtube.com/watch?v=8LFVxk…

@salin_adele Yes but how many iterations of you-re-not-listening-to-a-word-I'm-saying or you-will-never-read-about-it-will-you can a person take? Mine is about 3 or 4, after that I have to calm down

#scicomm challenge of the day (actually 2 challenges). How do you engage with ppl who seem to obviously not understand even basic sci-terminology (pic 👇🏽)? In fact how do you engage with ppl who haven't even read the piece (or anything relevant for that matter)?

@Jewel_Crush_Axe Aren’t we supposed to be the most rational people in the room and trained to listen to and address the most far fetched questions and suggestions? I thought that was part of our job to challenge out-of-the-box ideas... with method.

@salin_adele Agreed but not sure how I can stop my emotional reaction in a face-2-face interaction. When it happens (not always) it troubles me no end after. How do I master the evil emotional beast? The imbalance is not lost on me how I am called to do that more than the other person btw

@Jewel_Crush_Axe Reacting emotionally to a claim like this is polarizing and sterile. I think there is a need to acknowledge the fear, understanding it and then deactivate it. But not in a patronizing way. It helps to embrace the idea that there is something to be learnt from those misconceptions

@salin_adele What I envy in your approach is your ability to keep your calm. I prefer written communication bc it gives me times to deal with the emotional part before I reply. My concrn is that psuch studies claim we can't rebut opinions based on emotion (i.e. fear) with facts. So what then?

@Jewel_Crush_Axe The first misconception might be corrected with a good infographic but might also require to debunk some arguments gathered from the anti-GMO narrative. The second is totally another story. From my experience, it comes with too many layers to be addressed that easily.

@Jewel_Crush_Axe Well, you need to understand where this is coming from to address this misconception adequately. Some are scared because they have little to no understanding of what an ”RNA vaccine” is, while others believe this conspiracy theory that the vaccine will have nanoparticles in it.

@Jewel_Crush_Axe To be honest, I did not watch it entirely. I try to watch, listen or read any #scicomm aimed at the public as if I am not a trained scientist and this one lost me after a couple of minutes.

We talk about good, effective #scicomm in our journey to map it out &show its value but what would be a bad scicomm example? It's just as critical to know how to tell the good from the bad @Philofscicomm @scikoop @SciComm For me this video ain't good news for example

@Jewel_Crush_Axe @scikoop @Philofscicomm @SciComm Being judgemental is easy... Why not state what could have been done differently instead? :)

@Spectrum Like a face mask as a sign of an immediate threat? 🤔

Children with autism have trouble learning that faces convey information, but they excel at learning that some objects do, according to a new study bit.ly/altered_learni…

Sometimes the stories are too humiliating or damaging to share. I know quite a few in that situation, me included. #BlackintheIvory

"Having autism can sometimes mean enduring a litany of traumatic events, starting from a young age. And for many, those events may add up to severe and persistent post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."
