Pleased to share a new preprint reporting community involvement in autism research. In Jan 2021, Autism Journal introduced mandatory reporting of community involvement. Our team of autistic and non-autistic researchers evaluated the impact of this policy. osf.io/g89w4

Hello Friends. I am part of the research team looking into Autistic (and allies) perspectives of genetic research. This is a study for Australian residents. Welcoming parents of Autistic people too. This research is being thouroughly co-produced with the Autistic community.

As Labour turn their missions into pledges, it was brilliant to talk to Andrew Marr about why success will require a wholly new style of government: newstatesman.com/politics/labou…

Our paper, led by Themis Karaminis has been published! We analysed a corpus of British print media mentions of autism & autistic people using a stereotype content model approach rating for the warmth and competence autistic people were portrayed with. liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/au…

So much of what is brilliant about political communications is in this little film.

🚨With cynicism, apathy & disengagement so high, what do people most want from politics? It is respect for ordinary people, that's why UCL Policy Lab & More in Common are today launching an important project, to track how well the campaigns are meeting that crucial 'Respect Test'

Such a privilege to have worked on this project - identifying what kind of research matters to people with Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome & Williams syndrome and their allies. Spoiler: it’s time to reshape our research, in partnership with communities!

We have just 3 places left on this study if any #Autisticppl would like to help us identify research priorities when it comes to understanding how #Autisticppl can flourish in the online world. Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou Liz Pellicano Will Mandy UCL

🧵 It was a huge pleasure to launch the first major review of what happened in the general election 2024 this morning with UCL Policy Lab and More in Common

There are some articles in the news today about research that claims autism can be ‘reversed’. This is deeply insulting to the more than 700,000 autistic people in the UK. We are completely baffled why this has even been published by UK papers. This is a case study of a single

Love this piece by ⁦Sonny Hallett⁩ - a must-read for anyone interested in properly supporting autistic people and “welcoming of many different ways of being”: Counselling in a Neurodiverse World | by Sonny Hallett | Medium medium.com/@sonnyhallett/…

Still in shock about the news of @SteveSilberman. Steve helped revolutionise the way we think about autism, the rights of autistic people and the need to build a world that is fair and inclusive to all. I will miss his extraordinary spirit and empathy. And the world will too.

Our paper about neurodiversity, models of disability, and intervention preferences is out. Led by Patrick Dwyer, with a stellar team. It is a sequel to our 2013 Dev Psych Neurodiversity paper and I think it has a depth and power that is 11 years stronger: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Very few mental health interventions actually measure quality of life changes experienced by autistic adults. New systematic review led by Amanda Timmerman Amanda Timmerman Liz Pellicano Laura Crane UCL Mental Health Sciences MScs @ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

What is neurodiversity? What does it mean for how we each go about our daily activities? We've written an article for young people, but hopefully a useful primer for all :) By Dr Alyssa M.
