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.…

When you tell an autistic person that you’d never know they’re autistic, trust they’ve spent a lot of time making sure that’s the case. Not because they’re ashamed but because no one’s paid attention to how much effort they put into belonging in public while suffering in private.

Our new paper @AutismAdulthood found much consensus against normalization & for well-being, societal reform & supportive environments in autism community: findings were robust to closeness to autistics w/ intellectual disabilities & nonspeaking autistics. liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/a…

Devastated to hear Steve Silberman has passed away. He was a brilliant writer, and had a huge heart. His book Neurotribes was an incredible contribution to the field of neurodiversity and a legacy for autistic people. My deepest condolences to his husband. I will miss him

I’m heartbroken to hear about the death of Steve Silberman. He had such a positive impact on the public perception of autism and was always so kind and supportive of me and my work. Just an all-around wonderful human being. I’ll miss him dearly.
