Today we are speaking in Edinburgh at a Science & the Parliament event about how neurodivergent children & young people have many characteristics critical to successful science
But they need to be supported by all the adults who care for them having access to ND training

Neurodiversity-affirming & neurodivergent-informed report writing can only be built on a solid foundation of neurodiversity -affirming & neurodivergent-informed practice across all our work; assessment & therapy. This requires deep work, thinking & reflection. @RCSLTLearn

Proud to have been a part of this paper explaining neurodiversity for younger readers
Am accessible explainer that might help some adults too!
“When we all understand what neurodiversity is, it is easier for everyone to be themselves, no matter how they think, feel and learn.”

Pleased to see neurodiversity getting parlimentary-level attention in this way.
Some evidence suggests neurodivergent conditions, such as autism, are being identified more in the UK.
Our new POSTnote considers support for neurodivergent children and young people in healthcare and education in England, and barriers to accessing support:post.parliament.uk/research-…

Very cool piece of work (if I do say so myself) extending investigations of the double empathy problem into group interactions.
A preprint of: “Rapport in Same and Mixed Neurotype Groups of Autistic and Non-autistic Adults” is now publicly available on OSF: osf.io/preprints/osf/efvbc
It was a pleasure working with @Noahsasson @cjcrompton @SueReviews @Dani_Ropar @Autisticcat2 Rachel C, Charlotte W, & Rob A

This is a super job perhaps for someone coming to the end of a relevant Masters this summer?
A chance to help cultivate collaborative working across disciplines + between academics and community representatives, by making sure everyone has the info and skills to work together.
We are looking for a training manager to join the team @SMRCResearch as part of #AMBERproject
Apply by the end of July to
- support academics to develop coproduction & communication skills
- support community contributors to gain research understanding

I just published a wee blog post about our lab re-brand - we are now the Edinburgh Inclusive MIND Lab!
Check out our lovely new logo and you can see our latest research outputs at our collective google scholar profile here too: scholar.google.com/citations…

ALT A logo icon with text. The icon on the left hand side is a pattern such as someone might make with a spirograph. It has multiple looping and intersecting lines, in rainbow colours, creating a circular flower-like pattern. The text on the right hand side reads as follows: Ed In MIND Edinburgh Inclusive Mind Lab mental health, interaction, neurodiversity, development

Belated, but I'm talking at #NDAS24 on whether the neurotype of person you're talking to impacts how well observers can identify *your* neurotype (spoiler: it does!), along with whether observer neurotype and stimulus type has impacts (spoiler: it's complicated). Come say hi!
