Happy Monday to all the parents who have spent the weekend dodging questions about the meaning of Wood from their 9 year old all weekend. Never have been so relieved to be sat working on Human Subject Projections documents

Arrived back on the east coast after a jam packed 2.5 days in Seattle for #INSAR2025. Many highlights and proud mentor moments. It will be hard to top chairing our "Not autism. Not yet" panel on late and missed diagnosis.

Science feels really hard right now. But my phone is full of amazing scientists and mentors who have stepped up to offer guidance and support. I hope we can all remain in this field long enough to return the favor if ever needed.

Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org

I guess we're in "email your representatives" season. Sigh.
Fun fact - NC was the 3rd largest recipient of NIH funding in 2023 after CA and NY. Sneaking in ahead of PA. NIH funding brings so many jobs to NC and supported $5.34b in economic activity.

New from my rockstar grad student, Mags McAllister, who took SSC data and collated items across measures to create an echolalia "composite." Take home - echolalia is highly prevalent, and varies over the course of development.

As with everything with my career, my grant journey has been unconventional. Started with an R01, then R21, now an R03.

Really proud of this paper. Spearheaded by 2nd year grad student, Sonny Russell, and postdoc, Tyler McFayden. Idea sparked after I read a paper stating anything after 3 years was considered a late diagnosis.

Who, when, where, and why: A systematic review of “late diagnosis” in autism
In a review of “late diagnosis” in autism papers, the average late diagnosis cutoff was 11.5 years (range: 2–55 years) with 3 and 18 years tied for most common cutoffs. Location and age of the sample....

R01 sent to OSR. I haven't led an R01 application since our current R01 (now in Y4). I miss nice 6 pagers! I also do not recommend writing any grant over an election cycle (though 2020 ended better).
