This is a really good point. Up until the age of 8 or 9 I could take my daughter to the park annd she would always find someone to play with. Age 10 there's rarely anyone. The boys aren't there either, as far as I can see.

Always a favourite, as people go and look for elephants! Go outside, and name the biggest and smallest creature you can find - in any language :)

The different Japanese names for sweet potato in this thread are interesting.

A 🧵 on dǎdī 打的.

portrait recruitment flyer with a dark grey background and 3 large coloured text boxes (dark yellow, forest green, dark orange) with rounded corners arranged from the top (largest box) to the bottom (smallest box) of the flyer, slightly overlapping. There is the University of Edinburgh logo in the top right corner, a QR code in the bottom left corner, and 3 coloured drawings of brains (viewed from the top, same colours as the boxes) in lightbulbs. There are 3 drawings representing light strings, with a black line and light yellow circles below the line, stretched diagonally between the boxes and lightbulbs. The top box (yellow) includes the title in dark grey "Aphantasia & Autism", with additional information in white "We want to explore your social cognition — how you understand others’ cognition—how you understand others’ thoughts and feelings — focusing specifically on visual perspective-taking: seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. YOUR INSIGHTS ARE VALUABLE!". Below, the green box details the inclusion criteria in dark grey "Participants: are you over the age of 16? do you struggle to make mental images or visualise things? and/or do you have a clinical ASD diagnosis or self-identify as autistic? Then you could be perfect for our study!". The final box (orange) indicates how to join the study "Follow the link or scan the QR code to find the questionnaire and get the chance of win a £10 voucher! https://edin.ac/4h1ghPU For more information or to get in touch, email us at s2052225@ed.ac.uk".

📣 My dissertation students Freya & Lauren are doing cool intersectional research on #aphantasia / #hyperphantasia & #autism, testing a task to make it easier for people to join research online.

Tempting to move schools just for this 😂

This survey about meanings and forms of family for LGBTQ+ people allows plenty of space for self-definitions & free responses, whilst also being quite quick to fill in - a rare and welcome combination! The researcher is particularly looking to recruit more older people as respondents. Please reskeet
