Autistic and ADHD researcher focusing on minority stress, meta-science, and dehumanization of neurodivergent people in science and research. Big believer in #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
Like, shout all you want about it, you'll be given a platform because our media & government like nothing more than shitting on neurodivergent people. They will guzzle your shit faster than you can peddle it, but anyone who is actually informed can't draw the same conclusions. Its easy to uninformed

Journalists should never have to fear government retaliation for reporting on government activity, and showing up to work shouldn't result in your family being torn apart.

Mario had the right to work and report in the U.S. at the time he was arrested for livestreaming a protest in June.
He was held for over 100 days in ICE detention, and he did not have the chance to say goodbye to his family in person before being deported.

What a privilege to see this study out. Working with Taylor on this during my fellowship was one of the highlights!

may help to ease distress. It can be hard for people who aren't neurodivergent to conceptualise what it's like to lose yourself in masking. But for a lot of autistic people it seems to be something so heartbreakingly relatable. Autistic people are denied authenticity through discrimination
