Slightly late to my own party, but I'm really excited to share that my first ever first-author paper is out now! 😁 We validated the participatory design process that went into developing the #LEANSproject - a neurodiversity teaching programme for primary schools 👇 (1/8)

Meanwhile in Scotland Scottish Greens vote to ban ABA PBS, practices supported by @ScotGov, but considered “conversion therapy” for disabled people, lacking in evidence and which experts say go against human rights. #PBSFails #ABAharms #BanABA

We were asked ABA by a parent recently. I sent them this article. ABA& PBS is firmly placed within colonial mentality. It's an unfortunate residue that exists in colonised communities. The article refers to #StoptheShock. Why do ABA/PBS still have support? Thanks Fergus ♾️

Join us on 13th December, as we host an online webinar reflecting on Scottish Autism's Inclusive Governance journey, focusing on the meaningful participation in decision-making at all levels. Find out more about our Inclusive Governance journey & register: scottishautism.org/events/online-…

An excellent article. Despite 5 decades of failing, a poor quality and light weight evidence base, and human rights and disabled people's organisations not supporting them, behaviourist approaches continue to be promoted to to deal with disabled people's behaviours.

I’d like to work towards becoming a university lecturer in Critical Autism Studies post-MA study. I’m also interested in curriculum development as a means of embedding intersectional perspectives of Autism into academia. Does anybody know how I can go about achieving this?

On Friday at 4pm GMT, our chair Fergus Murray will be talking with Pete Wharmby online, about education, writing, monotropism etc. Neither of them are active on Twitter any more, but you might know them as MxOolong and Pete Wharmby. Tickets are free. lu.ma/xp46otqg
