Excited to see my paper on brain volume in autism come out in Molecular Autism! rdcu.be/b474o

Evidence that a cognitive profile of stronger nonverbal than verbal intelligence is NOT diagnostically useful for autism. Great paper from @caitclem00 and Center for Autism Research - CHOP! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Autistic youth synchronize their facial expressions with conversational partners less than typically developing peers. Cool computer vision work from Center for Autism Research - CHOP. Spectrum (Autism Research News) coverage: spectrumnews.org/news/facial-ex…. Original paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32666690/

Our citation imbalance code now does both race and gender and the estimates are probabilistic. It now measures your reference list's balance across 64 combinations of race and gender: Asian/Black/Hispanic/white, man/woman, first/last author. github.com/mb3152/balance…

Teaser for a short talk I recorded on some of my dissertation research (on early detection of autism. Sadly there are no nanorobots in my talk).

Check out my 8-minute talk on how baby sounds can help predict later autism diagnosis (with an explainer on machine learning), starting at 2:33 in this video. You can vote for my talk at: bit.ly/2NLoGzn. Would love to hear any thoughts!

Exciting webinar coming up Tuesday 6/22 at 10 AM MT - learn about authentic, independent communication and how to be a more helpful communication partner from a talented SLP! secure.touchnet.net/C20369_ustores…

New study: neurotypical children/teens adjusted how talkative they were to match the person they were talking with; autistic children/teens didn't adjust their talkativeness based on their partner. Work from Center for Autism Research - CHOP onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/au…

Excited that our meta-analysis on gross motor & social skills in autism is out in Psychological Bulletin! We found evidence for robust differences in gross motor behavior in autism that were correlated with social behavior: doi.apa.org/doi/10.1037/bu…

🚨My brainchild of the last 1.5yrs is now available to read in @jaacap! Let’s break ‘reward processing’ down into its building blocks, and study them systematically in infants & toddlers. tinyurl.com/th3cp7pb 1/5 🧵

Now also seems like a good time to announce here that I’m taking a clinical grad student(s) this year. If you’re interested in how reward processing develops in the young brain, or in genetic syndromes, come talk to me! I’ll be at the ABCT Autism SIG happy hour tonight.
