Super late at posting this, but I still keep receiving emails frm ~ 300 attendees with thanks & praises for this impactful presentation & panel in April 2024 on #autisticcommunication and #autistic #selfadvocacy ada.osu.edu/multiple-persp… with Victoria VanUitert, PhD e* says hi (also at @endeverstar.bsky.social)

Does anyone know of papers that describe autistic people's executive functioning from a "difference" perspective as opposed to a "deficit" lens? #autismresearch #HigherEducation #Neurodiversity

"Amma, can I drive the car today?" I told him he could when he gets as big as me he could & tht I'd sit in the car seat & order what music needs played. He retorted, "Yeah, when you become small like me, I'll be big like u & I drive. Okay?" #parenting #babyjoy #academicmom

Was telling #babyjoy this morning. K's mom is a police. J's mom is a teacher. M's mom is a nurse. What is your mom? Do you know? "Sona (my nickname at home)" was the quick response. Wise response, wasn't it? #joyofparenting #academicmom

I had a revelation today and I had to write it down. Extreme kindness doesn't protect you from abuse, mistreatment, and/or disrespect! Boundaries do!! Don't be "too kind." Affirm your boundaries instead! #selfcompassion

Fall2024 class on #neurodiversity for #SLT #SLP undergrads. 1 student said, "She creates an environment that is welcoming, especially in a neurodiversity class and teaching about inclusion, she uses what she preaches." among other glowing comments #grateful #highered #inclusion

Have you ever wondered if the entire system was built for privileged men to have a fulfilling career and work to earn money to follow their dreams?!! Were mothers who love their careers and their children never considered in the design?!! #academicmom #workingparent

I discussed #autistic #masking, its link to prejudice, how #SLPs & educators can support autistic individuals' authentic selves in this #ASHA Voices #podcast. We explored creating affirming spaces in #HigherEducation. Listen/read here: leader.pubs.asha.org/do/10.1044/202…

#babyjoy questions a lot these days! He pointed to someone and said, "Amma, is that a boy or a girl?" Hmm! I froze for a second cuz I had no answer. Then, I said, "they may feel like both; sometimes they not be a boy or a girl." What would you say? #parenting

"I peeped inside and the birdies flew away to find more food, I think. I did not find baby birdies in there either. Just bird food, amma" Babyjoy thinks bird feeders are where birds live! Surprised they weren't there. Hilarious but precious!! Had to share! #parenting #academicmom
