Tomorrow, I’ll present at #INSAR2026 a participatory study on autistic and ADHD adults’ quality of life, cognitive and emotional representation of their condition, and neurodiversity movement identification. This wouldn’t have been possibile if INSAR did not grant me an Award. Grateful and hopeful!

Lately I’ve been so disheartened that I forgot to share here that my piece on “Reframing Social Communication through the Double Empathy lens” was published in The Double Empathy Reader, curated by Damian Milton - we’ll present it online today, here 👇🏼 #autism #DoubleEmpathy #pragmatics

The Double Empathy Workshop Series (4th Workshop

Join us for the fourth in our series of online workshops showcasing presentations related to chapters from the Double Empathy Reader

As I leave @durhamimh.bsky.social, my contribution to the Critical ND Studies takeover comes out. It’s a brief version of my talk: an attempt to speak about actually neurodivergent communication (and not just autistic communication). Thank you again @ndhumanities.bsky.social for the support 🌱

"A critical view of neurodivergent 'compensatory strategies' [in communication] makes it possible to frame them as chameleonic survival abilities to celebrate, rather than bad mimicking of neurotypical abilities." - @marocchini.bsky.social thepolyphony.org/2025/06/27/n...

After a PhD in Cognitive Science, I find it particularly funny (and telling of how far I got from where I started) that the 1st panel I ever chaired was about “The Social Beyond Normativity” at the Critical Neurodiversity Studies Conference. Thanks @ndhumanities.bsky.social for making this happen!

Potentially more inclusive practices that academia could partially incorporate as co-created care reframing participation and social justice as priorities over traditional academic values of fast and objective scientific production. New open access paper written with @marocchini.bsky.social

Honored to share that I have been awarded a Critical Neurodiversity Fellowship and that I will attend the Conference in @durhamuniversity.bsky.social! Thank you @louisecreechan.bsky.social, @drrobertchapman.bsky.social, @ndhumanities.bsky.social and all the people involved in the conference. [1/3]

When autism researchers from all sorts of disciplines, paradigms, methodologies, politics, and worldviews agree, you know the threats to science and to autistic people have gotten way outside the bounderies of typical scientific debate. www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

2. Here's an image from a presentation I gave to Twitter, representing the Twitter bird freed from a closed platform to fly in Bluesky's open ecosystem.

So many new faces, hi! I’m a neurodivergent PhD in Psychology with a background in Linguistics, turned independent researcher and SciCommer. Last published, a focus group study telling me how bad my early work on #ToM in #autism was. You can find it here (and on the OSF): doi.org/10.1111/1460...

Another great starter pack for anyone interested in #autism - from an #ActuallyAutistic point of view!

I put this together because autistics need to be heard from, not about. That is our ethos at Aut2Ask. I can add you or, please let me know who I should add! Also: find us on IG- @aut2ask. And to learn more: bit.ly/Aut2ask

I see more people are joining now that X got even worse. For my #autism research mutuals, @lauramaycrane.bsky.social has created this wholesome starter pack to find people and posts you might miss from X. Enjoy! go.bsky.app/B9XV8UA

I find it interesting that some psychologists use the argument that #Psychology is a science when confronted on something they said (usually on social media), as if 1) a psychologist is the same entity as Psychology and 2) being a science means being infallible.

What I find most interesting in discourse around science and social justice is scientists working in #Psychology and #Psychiatry being distressed at the idea of an “ideology” breaking into science, as if science was ever free from ideological stances. It’s worrying they wouldn’t see it. #PsySky

I have 18k followers on IG, where I am out as autistic and known as an autism scholar. Today I got a question on autistic people’s “problem with looking in the eyes”. I answered and followed up with a joke: “I feel like NT people have a problem, why would you need to look in order to listen?” 1/2

Looking for #neurodiversity -inspired research on #ADHD and I keep seeing papers citing an editorial where neurodiversity wasn’t even used in its original meaning. Quite discomforting. #Psychology #PsySky #AutRes

So apparently we’re doing it all over again here. As a neurodivergent person I have to admit that I find it challenging to have to understand how things works on yet another platform but let’s say we’re doing it for the greater good of science and advocacy I guess
