I think the crux of the neurodiversity paradigm for me is respecting the internal experiences of autistic people more than we judge the external behaviours

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

Any studies on autism and pregnancy that do not consider whether the pregnant parent is (undiagnosed) autistic are going to have huge limitations on their findings about autism causation. 15/

Any study on the "cause" of autism that doesn't also screen the parents is pretty much worthless.

My initial reaction to this was "Why are we continuing to focus on the parent's mental health and not the Autistic person?" But if you look closer, the idea of "Broader Autism Phenotype" (BAP) is an interesting one Don't love the idea on the focus of BAP as a red flag for emotional dysregulation -

When you become chronically ill - people leave you. They may be supportive at first but many grown impatient when you don’t “get better”. They refuse to accept the realities of the “chronic” part of chronic illness. They leave you behind. This is especially hard at the holidays. 1/2

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.

Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.

Periodic table colored by lickability. 😛
The periodic table color-coded by liability. Most of the elements are green, which means they can be licked. All of the elements along the bottom row, as well as a few other elements are purple, which means you should not lick them. Most of the elements in group one two and 17 are not lickable
