Assistant Professor at Hunter College. Here to talk about sexual and reproductive health, substance use, LGBTQ health, & neurodiversity.
OAR is a phenomenal organization focused on applied research such as creating services that support autistic people. They've prioritized under-researched areas like sexuality education for many years. I'm excited to talk about it with Paul this Thursday! researchautism.org/oar-impact-d...

Always thrilled to talk about sex education and disability! The take home: Without policy, biases can affect access. If you have a kid in school, ask for what you want for them, whatever that may be. sparkforautism.org/discover_art...
The Need for Sex Education for Autistic Students - SPARK for Autism

Important work by people I admire a great deal. Is the language in your consent form truly accessible? Here’s some help if you’re not sure!
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.
