Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound

Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.

Two years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the world’s complicity is clear. Western governments, corporations, and media have shielded and sustained a colonial project built on occupation, racial capitalism, and dehumanization—profiting from and normalizing the erasure of the Palestinian people

A picture showing the amount of people (tens of thousands) who got deprived of education, disabled, lost parents and injured children

Statistics of the Gaza Genocide showing majority of deaths are attributed to women, girls and children

‪Thank you to #AECongress2025 for the chance to present our (w @drrachaeldavis.bsky.social) work on the #Autism & #Bilingualism Hub autism-bilingualism.com TY to all who came to chat after the talk, & those who came by our #gender/ #masking/ #mentalhealth poster! (spot the subtle 🍉🇵🇸 support)

Picture taken at the Autism Europe Congress 2025 showing the presenter Dr Bérengère Digard standing at a lectern in the bottom left corner of the image. Dr Digard has long dark hair, a colourful shirt, and dark red trousers. She is looking to her left, towards the screen behind her, that takes most of the picture. On the screen there is the first slide of her talk, showing in dark red the title "Clinicians & Educators on Bilingualism & Autism: Factors influencing practice, & the efficacy of new information resources". Below the title are the authors' names and affiliations (Dr Bérengère Digard and Ella Verduyn at the University of Edinburgh, Dr Rachael Davis at Queen Margaret University). In the bottom right corner of the slide there is a cartoon of a watermelon slice to represent the authors' ongoing support for Palestine and their stance against the apartheid and genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian and supported by Western nations. To the left of the title is a drawing of the face of a blond child on a green background with their head surrounded by letters. In the bottom left there are different logos aligned showing the organisations that supported the study presented (the University of Edinburgh, Queen Margaret University, the Patrick Wild Centre, FIRAH).

Picture of Dr Bérengère Digard standing by a poster at the Autism Europe Congress 2025. Dr Digard has long dark hair, a colourful shirt, and dark red trousers. The portrait-oriented poster is entitled "A qualitative study on the intersectionality of autism and gender on mental health and camouflaging". Next to the title is attached a pin of the Palestinian flag to show Dr Digard's support for Palestine and her stance against the genocide and apartheid committed by Israel against the Palestinians with the support of Western states.

To be clear what happened here. Israel bombed a hospital. They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive. Then they bombed it again. This is known as the 'double tap'. You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.

Civil defense rescue teams were hit by an Israeli airstrike during a live broadcast on Al-Ghad TV. 🚨📢 It was the second strike on Nasser Hospital, killing journalist and Reuters photographer Hossam Al-Masry, along with others. This is not war. This is dehumanization. 😤 #HumanRights

Israeli forces illegally boarded ‘Handala’ in international waters, abducting 21 unarmed civilians. Demand your government end its complicity in Israeli war crimes, ensure the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members.

I'm cancelling my #INSAR2025 attendance due to the US being ... is it too much to say "authoritarian oligarchy"? I just don't think I'd do well in a US detention center. Are there fellow #Autism researchers boycotting #INSAR this year? Also, is any brave soul going planning to live tweet PLZ?

It only took 3 years to get to the point they thought would happen 20 years from now because not only are we not doing enough to address climate change, we are actively making things worse (see, eg, AI)
