Kudos to my co-authors & collaborators, Kaitlyn May & Rajesh Kana! Many thanks to the anonymous reviewers & the editor for taking the time to review our paper! 🙌🏼

We got a new day now "Autism After 21" on Apr 21 to recognize that autism does not magic away in adults.

BUT.

We are way beyond talk of Awareness, way beyond talk of Acceptance.
We need TRANSLATABLE SOLUTIONS / TRANSLATABLE RESEARCH that actually assists us. ACTION needed NOW, not more talk.

#AutismResearch has done its course in my life, it was only Neurodiversity that made #Autism make any sense at all to me.

Actually before I even heard that word "Neurodiversity" I met very #neurodiverse individuals in the #AutisticCommunity.

#FaceToFace I met them. I had to determine myself if Autism was a real thing or not. #ItWasReal and #ItIsReal!

Personal encounters with many individuals fueled my #interest in autism and as I met more and more I started to be able to identify neurotypes.
Everything starts with "is this person like me? Why or why not? In which ways is this person like me and in which ways is this person not like me? Does this person think like me or just happens they now have some similar interests but interests come and go right?".

When you think you are an #explorer.

"Person A reminded me about person S whom I met at that other autism encounter if I remember, hmm" and then "Person G also reminds me about person A".
#ThinkingIsImportant!
#ThinkingIsSoImportant!

When I got #diagnosed there was nothing really special about the #diagnosis aside from them finding that I belong to a #SpectrumOfNeurotypes #Neurotypes.

The current #science though lacks the ability to tell what #neurotype I am, which is bad! My unique #Neurotype is #unknown.

#Science is about expanding #knowledge and apparently there is #NoKnowledge about this yet.
Just #theories and we don't even know who is out there with a #TreasureTrove of #UnsharedTheories.

We in the #NeurodiversityMovement are the #LastHope to find them a solution and find us(#humanity) a solution to #ExpandNeurodiversity. #Neurodiversity.

The Neurodiversity movement's stepping stone is neurotypes and the lack of knowledge in that area is #alarming, makes us weaker.

Hope escapes us last though.

I have hope and belief in that the Neurodiversity Movement is going to find a way, some of you #Thinkers out there will find a solution one day which we are all gonna enjoy.

#HopeDiesLast

A downturn in #biotech #investment has had a negative impact on companies targeting autism-linked conditions. Those companies, and investors, are innovating in an attempt to turn things around.

This article in spectrumnews.org gives deep insight into problems around autism reseach.

However, I'm unhappy that it comes across as if the now louder voices of autistic advocates and researchers stir the problems in the first place.

What do you think?
