Thank you ☺️ @johnharris1969.bsky.social

Over 70 organisations call on Prime Minister to put children's rights at the heart of Government. SNJ supports this 100% crae.org.uk/news/over-70...

Snark attacks can be found elsewhere. Was avoiding possible editorial concern about my references to the presenter's obvious ignorance about brain imaging( although I used that well-known phrase "*****"😗.

This is a sensitive counterpoint to much recent comment. ANd from one who clearly knows! Uta Frith Would Have Diagnosed Me With Asperger’s. Now She’s Not So Sure. open.substack.com/pub/holdenth...

It was often unclear what the myth of ‘The Great ADHD Myth?’ was meant to be other than the ones the filmmakers themselves made up. Our expert review pod with @thepublicturner.bsky.social, @ginarippon.bsky.social, Camilla Pang, @drdeanburnett.bsky.social & @robinindooroutdoor.bsky.social is out now

Thank you, Kate!☺️. What a wasted opportunity🤦🏻. Not to mention the ethical issues and the overall irresponsibility 😡

Recording our podcast review right now of the ADHD 'documentary' that aired on Channel 4 last night. @robinince.bsky.social is joined by @ginarippon.bsky.social, @thepublicturner.bsky.social & Camilla Pang. @drdeanburnett.bsky.social will be joining via pre-record in the final podcast. Out tomorrow

We gathered a panel of experts to talk about the upcoming Channel 4 documentary on ADHD and the damage already done just by its press release alone. With @robinince.bsky.social, @drdeanburnett.bsky.social, @ginarippon.bsky.social & Sarah Turner. Full episode on The Incomplete Shambles Podcast

Open this and follow the thread - what a great event it is going to be!

If any of you are in or around Rugby next Thursday (May 28th), I'm talking about the background to The Lost Girls. It would be great to see real people - podcasts are all very well...! And you can get a signed copy of the book 😊. huntsbookshop.com/collections/...

🧪At last, some great data to support the story of autistic women's diagnostic invisibility! Time trends in the male to female ratio for autism incidence: population based, prospectively collected, birth cohort study www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Live in London on Mon.16th (online too). Airing the new paperback! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/autism-wom...

Paperback out next week😀. Thanks to all @Pan MacMillan for making it happen 🥂

As explained in our short video, we found that these algorithms risk perpetuating “crude ontologies of sex and gender that undermine both scientific validity and health justice” (p. 1). www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TqL...

Does women’s health need sex-specific algorithms? In a paper just out in Big Data & Society (bigdatasoc.bsky.social) we at the GenderSci Lab warn against the growing use of so-called “pink” and “blue” algorithms, arguing that they risk embedding biological sex essentialist assumptions into medicine.

I had a great time making this 2-part podcast. Hopefully you'll find it interesting ☺️ www.hidden20.org/podcast/gina...

Out and about again! You could be among the first to see the new paperback version. Hope to see you. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/autism-wom...

This just arrived in the post and cheered up a gloomy day! Thank you again to the British Psychology Society for the honour and to all those who made this book possible.

Really pleased to take part in Stompcast, an innovative wide-ranging podcast about mental health issues. shows.acast.com/stompcast/ep... via @acast

Thank you - I was way out of my comfort zone! Here you go with the sprouts image!

What an honour😊☺️! With many thanks to all involved, especially the 'lost girls' themselves.

Fact-checking claims Trump made about autism

Thank you @katebarker.bsky.social . There was a section on the inaccurately negative impression of autism and autistic people that is part of this whole sorry saga. Got lost in the editing but important not to lose sight of it in the conversation 🤔😗

Oops! Why the antagonism over the rise in autism diagnoses? It’s actually good news | Gina Rippon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So incensed by the recent toxic narrative around mental health diagnoses (‘the sick note from life’ brigade) that I had to put my head above the parapet! Thanks to the Guardian for giving me voice 👍🏻 Why the antagonism over the rise in autism diagnoses? It’s actually good news | Gina Rippon
