SEND parent. Researcher. Still fighting the system. 💜
I study how schools talk about food with autistic children — mindful of how hard eating itself can be.
It’s lived. It’s real.
RT if you get it. 👇

I live this every single day.
Not because I chose to research it — but because I had to.
Our children deserve understanding. 💜

Last week I attended the Neurodiversity Network Conference @StaffsUni 💙 with Naomi Ellis from @chadresearchuk. Inspiring day & great to meet amazing people!
Highlight: chatting with Nutritionist Sarah Osbourne on ARFID & eating challenges.

Brillant to be unboxing some copies of our NEurodivergent peer Support Toolkit (NEST).
If you work in a secondary school and want to download (Free! Evidence-based!) resources to help set up peer support for neurodivergent students, find out more here: edin.ac/3Rr5W5R
ALT Image shows 3 copies of the NEurodivergent peer Support Toolkit (NEST) handbook and several copies of a flyer about NEST.

Day three of #cogdev2023. Parallel sessions have just begun.
Thought provoking talk by @DrAmyPearson on how autistic adults' conceptualise and recover from intimate partner violence and abuse.
So pleased I was able to attend @MariaLivanou1 talk today focusing on A co-production of an inclusive care model for adolescents transition from adolescent eating disorder services to adult care. #CogDev2023 @BPSDevSection @BPSCognitive
Really enjoyed listening to the lightning talk by Anastasia Lopukhina using eye tracking to investigate where children and adults look when watching videos with same-language subtitles #CogDev2023 @BPSDevSection @BPSCognitive
Really interesting talk on day 2 by Lauren McGuiness at #CogDev2023 about Social Desirability judgements based on Adults, Neurotypical children and Autistic children @BPSCognitive @BPSDevSection @LSMcGuinness

Day 3 #ResearchAdvent 🎄
#1/2 TBH I would love parents & teachers to perceive my research as useful. For it to influence their behaviour & practice so that children will be the beneficiaries.
Not asking for much really 🤣

Here we present the first assessment of #SexDifferences in gray matter morphometry in #BingeEatingDisorder.
