The language we use to talk about ADHD matters - it has real consequences for people with ADHD/ADHDers. This paper has been a long time in the making, so very glad to see it out in the world and very grateful for having such an amazing team work on it ❤️

Scientists have linked fossil fuel companies to specific climate harms for the first time, with five Australian oil, gas and coal companies potentially responsible for $900bn in loss and damage from extreme heat alone.

Do you prefer ‘a person with ADHD’ or ‘an ADHDer’?
If you have ADHD (and you are 18+ years), we would like to know what you think as part of our research on disability language preferences. To have your say, you can complete a 10 – 15 minute survey deakin.au/4iqPuOi

Vaccines don’t cause autism.
Vaccines aren’t even associated with autism.
The biggest predictor of autism?
GENETICS.
We have decades of data and millions of data points that to show this.
This lie insults people with autism too — as if it’s an “adverse effect” of medicine.

Don’t elect Temu Trump (aka Peter Dutton).
That doesn’t mean you need to put Labor first though!

I think the best thing about this - which was a tough call - is that the (magnificent) tesla ripoff looks like it's been deliberately parked there
In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth.
