From April 27, 2016... this article by @newscientist drove people to @AutCraft for years after. #autism #Minecraft newscientist.com/article/mg2303…
Um this is wild...
“I am writing to express my appreciation for the manuscript “Awkward but so what: Differences in social trait preferences between autistic and non-autistic adults” by Dunn and colleagues (2023)”😮 Great to see your work resonate with others @HunterDirac! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38623050/ More research re the huge number of autistic children who endure bullying. "..a higher rate of bullying victimization among autistic participants (58%; 3.1 times higher risk)... compared with their peers ..(18.3%)". Who needs 'behaviour enforcement', eh?

Most people opposing functioning labels felt they were discriminatory stereotypes. The preferences & suggested alternative for referring to specific individual needs are consistent w/ the suggestions of the Avoiding Ableist Language paper regarding autism: liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.10…

@hattdesigns @EduSum @lifeoflottie @rachabuck @CleoWesthorpe @DunnEducation The actual truth is that I was complaining about formatting on the slide, so my husband took over the laptop (in despair) and then edited that to take the piss out of me.
I need a bit of a hype up at the moment... anyone who can spare some good vibes, please send them my way!!

@alfiekohn That is a spectacular distortion. To be an effective DI teacher takes incredible skill.
Direct or explicit instruction seems to be widely misunderstood. It's often characterised as boring lectures with little interaction and not catering to the needs of all students. Nothing could be further from the truth. A short thread 🧵⬇️
@alfiekohn Direct instruction has its place, which is after the exploratory lessons and initial assessment, when the goal is to ensure that students have the concepts necessary to work on mastery. It's a tool in the toolbox. Not everything is a nail and we need tools other than hammers.
@Velvetpage @alfiekohn Agree. This misrepresents how DI can be used. It’s a tool that empowers teachers because it makes things go faster for students who have trouble seeing patterns and otherwise remembering what words look like.
Terrific first workshop today – my team and I were left excited and brimming with ideas. Can't wait for the next one.
