Why it’s time to rethink the notion of an autism ‘spectrum’
The idea of autism as a single spectrum has shaped thinking for decades. But many autistic people and researchers now argue the metaphor is misleading.

Uncharacteristcally long 🧵 (sorry) re: #Qualitative methodologies, science, and 'AI'. As Qualitative researchers, we should definitely care and remain curious about what 'good work' can look like - but we should be very wary about assuming that a focus on 'rigour' will address this question. 1/13
