My biggest reason for sharing it:"Notably, immune activation and exposure to stress hormones are known to alter neuronal activity in the dorsal raphe (DR, a region of the brain involved in serotonin signaling), contributing to ASD development."<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AutismResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutismResearch</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genetics</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/methylation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#methylation</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a>

Aaron"high autistic-like trait burden""'rescued' low-social monkeys’ ability to respond prosocially""at risk of developing social deficits related to autism"This is language from an actual paper on rhesus monkeys being used to model autism.Burden. Rescue. Risk. Deficit.How do these people not recognize that their language is chock full of value judgments? Value judgments don't belong in science, where conclusions are supposed to be based on objective fact.They've already made up their minds about us. Put another way, they've already made judgments ahead of time. That is, they've already pre-judged us. Or, the most blatantly recognizable way to put it: They are prejudiced.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AutismResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutismResearch</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AutismResearcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutismResearcher</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AutismResearchers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutismResearchers</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/prejudice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prejudice</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DisabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabilityRights</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@actuallyautistic</a>

Christian MayerOur research is now supported by a 2024 Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) Pilot Award, co-funded by the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation (NLMFF). I am grateful to both SFARI and NLMFF for investing in high-risk, high-reward science to advance understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurodevelopmental disorders.The project will explore how mutations in chromatin regulators ASH1L and SETBP1 impair their crucial role in guiding the development of GABAergic neurons—key cells maintaining the brain’s balance between excitation and inhibition. Disruptions in this process are strongly linked to ASD, but the molecular pathways remain poorly understood.By integrating genomic, proteomic, and functional approaches, we aim to reveal how these enzymes regulate gene activity during inhibitory neuron development and how their dysfunction contributes to ASD.Official announcements: SFARI: <a href="https://www.sfari.org/2025/04/08/announcing-the-recipients-of-the-2024-pilot-and-pilot-progression-awards/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sfari.org/2025/04/08/announcing-the-recipients-of-the-2024-pilot-and-pilot-progression-awards/</a> NLMFF: <a href="https://www.nlmfoundation.org/grant/epigenetic-regulators-ash1l-and-setbp1-in-gabaergic-neuron-development-and-asd/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nlmfoundation.org/grant/epigenetic-regulators-ash1l-and-setbp1-in-gabaergic-neuron-development-and-asd/</a><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/newsmayerlab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newsmayerlab</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SFARI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SFARI</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/NLMFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NLMFF</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AutismResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutismResearch</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Neurodevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neurodevelopment</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Epigenetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epigenetics</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GABA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GABA</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Genomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genomics</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Chromatin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chromatin</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neuroscience</a>

Renata 🦄 Autistic TranslatorAs a translator, what I mostly think about is failure. I have paralysing fear of being perceived as flawed.

Dr Emma Kate WardHi autism researchers, have you run experiments online and noticed that participants who report they *aren't* autistic score highly on autism trait questionnaires?I'm using the RAADS-14 but interested in your experiences with any questionnaire. Do let me know what you're using! And boosting is welcome :)[Note: "Ps" = participants]<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/academicChatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academicChatter</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/devSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#devSci</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/autismResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autismResearch</a>
