Recently looking into formal diagnosis options as my AQ-50 test wasn't just 'positive' as autistic but POSITIVE!!?!. If anyone's got UK experience/suggestions, give me a shout. Or pointers towards useful communities or tags on here. #autistic

To add to my first point; it would work well with 'How To Read A Paper' style approaches (ref @trishgreenhalgh ?) and similar resources. When I was in the classroom I found the NHS Behind The Headlines blog to be really useful, which has for some stupid reason been retired. There's a useful guide, similar to what I used to share with students, at
https://powerfulpatients.org/2017/03/22/how-to-read-and-understand-a-scientific-paper/

Sharing this (seen on birdsite) for science teacher colleagues for two reasons.
1 it would be a great starter paper for any yr12/13 journal clubs you're running next year.
2 translating these principles to educational research would be interesting, as it so often gets over-interpreted by SLT!

It's been a few months since I created this profile, but it's not been used. But Twitter is getting steadily worse for non-paying users with poorly-targeted adverts, so I'm aiming for a complete transition by the autumn. Hi all...
