Autism and anarchy: The importance of autistic anarchism

It is so hard to write headlines for basic biochem research.
I can substantially understand what the popular summary is saying about the primary source and thanks to my antique education including some graduate-level biochem courses, I can even read

Last boost, related #uspol take:
"Here's RFK's plan:
1. Claim vaccines cause autism
2. Push vaccine skepticism, lower vax rates
3. Create autism registry - people avoid getting a diagnosis to stay off it
4. Point to the decrease in autism diagnoses as "proof" vaccines cause autism"

Convergent transcriptomic and neuroimaging signature of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a multi-factorial neurodevelopmental disorder, whose causes are still poorly understood. Effective therapies to reduce all the heterogeneous symptoms of the disorder do not exists yet, but behavioural programs started at a very young age may improve the quality of life of the patients. For this reason, many efforts have been dedicated to the research of a reliable biomarker for early diagnosis. Machine learning approaches to distinguish ASDs from healthy contro…

Differences between Neurodivergent and Neurotypical Software Engineers: Analyzing the 2022 Stack Overflow Survey
Neurodiversity describes variation in brain function among people, including common conditions such as Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia. While Software Engineering (SE) literature has started to explore the experiences of neurodivergent software engineers, there is a lack of research that compares their challenges to those of neurotypical software engineers. To address this gap, we analyze existing data from the 2022 Stack Overflow De…

There are days when autism feels overwhelming, and I find myself oversharing every thought and feeling that comes to mind.
But then, just as suddenly, my mood can shift. I’ll feel a surge of energy and want to shake things up.
That’s when I dive into my collection of anarchism memes and start posting my latest finds for everyone to enjoy!
We are here, unapologetically autistic and proud, and we refuse to be silenced!

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when #writing about #neurodivergence

Autism Speaks. | Sheri Byrne-Haber (disabled)
Autism Speaks. United Spinal Association. Special Olympics. @Sins Invalid. What do they have in common? They are all organizations that claim to be allies of people who are neurodiverse or have disabilities. Every single one of them uses an overlay on their websites. Overlays are shortcuts that don’t resolve accessibility barriers created through sloppy coding practices. They create a false sense of compliance, often interfering with assistive technology and user experience. Overlay compan…

Auditory Gamma-Frequency Entrainment Abolishes Working Memory Deficits in a Rodent Model of Autism
Individuals on the autism spectrum often exhibit atypical responses to sensory stimuli and difficulties with behavioral regulation, reflecting altered functional patterns in core sensory-motor circuits. These sensory processing differences suggest the potential for using patterned auditory stimulation to modulate neural activity and mitigate symptoms. While impairments in higher cognitive functions are a hallmark of autism, they remain underexplored in rodent models compared to basic sensory-mo…

Distinct Modes of Functional Neural Organization in Autism: Insights from Dynamical Systems Analysis of Resting-State EEG
While differences in patterns of functional connectivity and neural synchronization have been reported between individuals on the autism spectrum and neurotypical peers at various age stages, these differences appear to be subtle and may not be captured by typical quantitative measures of EEG. We used the dynamical systems approach to analyze resting-state EEG to investigate fine-grained spatiotemporal organization of brain networks in autistic and neurotypical young adults. While power spectra…

Exploring Image Transforms derived from Eye Gaze Variables for Progressive Autism Diagnosis
The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has surged rapidly over the past decade, posing significant challenges in communication, behavior, and focus for affected individuals. Current diagnostic techniques, though effective, are time-intensive, leading to high social and economic costs. This work introduces an AI-powered assistive technology designed to streamline ASD diagnosis and management, enhancing convenience for individuals with ASD and efficiency for caregivers and therapists.

Mapping Brain-Behavior Correlations in Autism Using Heat Kernel Smoothing
This paper presents a streamlined image analysis framework for correlating behavioral measures to anatomical measures on the cortex and detecting the regions of abnormal brain-behavior correlates. We correlated a facial emotion discrimination task score and its response time to cortical thickness measurements in a group of high functioning autistic subjects. Many previous correlation studies in brain imaging neglect to account for unwanted age effect and other variables and the subsequent stati…

Sorry if I fucked up your day too, but I fucking love you all! After looking at this GIF, I’m over it!
Autism is real as hell, and autism is fucking awesome. Fuck the haters, fuck anyone who’s “anti-autism,” and fuck domestic violence against autistic people.
I exist, I’m proud, and I’m not going anywhere. Autism power, always fucking rad!
