Had the pleasure of attending EUNETHYDIS (European Network for ADHD) in Bonn, Germany. Four amazing days of talks, debates, discussions, and connecting with inspiring researchers and fellow ECRs. Left feeling genuinely hopeful for the future of ADHD research. Huge thanks to all the organisers!

This podcast episode by the incredible @drmbothapsych.bsky.social is a must-listen, especially for all researchers in neurodivergence (+ really, for everyone)
PODCAST ALERT! My episode covers a lot about funding priorities, citational justice, neurodiversity, and qualitative research (and probably loads more but I can't quite remember and refuse to listen to my own voice so 🤷) please give it a listen if so inclined!

Fabulous new research re autism and learning (intellectual) disability.
It's about assent/consent, and how to get it right for everyone.

Lots of thought, good checklists and ideas.
This is so important, isn't it.
