I resent LLMs for many reasons, but forcing me to act like a cop to keep fake garbage out of publication is high on the list. I want to read people’s work in a spirit of generosity and curiosity again (‘I wonder what cool ideas might be in here?’) instead of ‘I got you now, you lying little shit’

The authentic and sensitive representation of #neurodivergence in the media is a moral imperative. Our latest @lexacademic.bsky.social blog underscores why recruiting authenticity readers with lived experience of neurodivergence is essential.

Publications often reinforce stereotypes, #ableism, and negative portrayals of #neurodivergent experiences. For neurodivergent individuals, like the author of our latest blog post, the impact can be devastating.
