What does the #Neurodiversity paradigm look like in research? Sue Fletcher Watson at the Annual @cltt.bsky.social Summer Lecture on #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #Education

When a lay observer - some autistic, and some not - watches a video and is asked to detect who is autistic and who isn't, they may be looking more for indicators of disruption in the interaction rather than specific autistic behaviours. Sue Fletcher Watson at #CLTTSummer2025

Autistic people weren't talking about distinctive features of autistic communication - people were talking about the values and purpose of communication: recognition, truth, permissiveness and flexibility, information sharing, clarity - #CLTTSummerLecture2025

#CLTTSummerLecture2025 - Research across neurotypes shows that autistic communication is as effective as neurotypical communication when autistic people communicate with other autistic people. Recently replicated findings and new data. Sue Fletcher Watson talks #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #Education

Expect heterogeneity as the norm! This is critical for adopting a #Neurodiversity based approach in research and services, says Sue Fletcher Watson at the Annual @cltt.bsky.social Summer lecture. #Inclusion and #Education

#Neurodiversity and #Disability - this isn't about simply telling people that they aren't disabled, they're different! A neurodiversity approach respects and accepts people as they are, not as society might want them to be - Sue Fletcher Watson @cltt.bsky.social Summer lecture 2025

Sue Fletcher Watson talks about the misunderstandings that can arise when people talk about the #Neurodiversity paradigm at the Annual CLTT Summer Lecture #Inclusion #Education

How can we explain #Neurodiversity to children and families? Trees offer a useful metaphor. Fit to environment matters, and there are group and individual. We don't want a monoculture! Sue Fletcher Watson talking #Neurodiversity #Inclusion and #Education at the @cltt.bsky.social Annual Lecture
