We have a new paper out in @CurrentBiology where we found that children with ASD engage in joint attention at typical rates during naturalistic toy play! They use hand-following rather than gaze-following pathways to get there, similar to their TD peers. https://t.co/hVoWxAuAnG

Autism researchers: Autistic people do not owe you gratitude for your work, even if your work is time consuming and difficult. Autistic people are allowed to forcefully express how your work could harm them, and this isn't 'cancelling'.

A beautiful writeup by Karen Adolph and Kelsey West highlighting our recent work on joint attention in autism during toy play (spoiler: hands matter more than eye contact). @YurkovicHarding @Chen_Yu_CY @BeccaCShaffer @DrKelliD

A thread on designing visually appealing slides. There are lots of great books/websites/videos about making slide presentations—this thread will focus on quick visual design tips that are easy to employ. Compiled by @__Matt_Carter__ . 🧵1/25

Shout-outs to my advisors @DanKennedyIU and @Chen_Yu_CY for writing this paper with me, Grace Lisandrelli for starting this work, and our collaborators at Cincinnati (@BeccaCShaffer, Kelli Dominick, Craig Erickson, Ernie Pedapati) for their clinical perspective and resources!

Children With Autism Exhibit Typical Joint Attention During Toy Play With a Parent Young children on the autism spectrum achieved joined attention similar to that of a neurotypical child when playing with their parents. #autism #neuroscience #science

Excited to see our work covered in the @Spectrum "Null & Noteworthy" newsletter! And equally excited to see science media focusing on non-significant results - an important component of the scientific process. https://t.co/p7EuFbuAwJ

Welcome to the Null and Noteworthy newsletter, a roundup of papers that do the vital work of reproducing a previous result or reporting the absence of one.

And, this is the first study (to our knowledge) to use head-mounted eye trackers to study the moment-by-moment gaze dynamics of children during a social interaction.

Studying children in natural, embodied contexts reveals disparate results from more constrained task - context matters!

Our work on exploration in children with and without ASD is out today! We found no differences in the way that children in both groups attend to and act on toys when they're playing with a parent! @DanKennedyIU @Chen_Yu_CY

If you haven’t already done so, please ramp up your amygdala activity and keep your distance from others.

Our work is just on preprint @DanKennedyIU @ Lisa Byrge: Non-replication of functional connectivity differences in ASD: a multi-site study https://t.co/j5joZLx4Ti Thanks to @LindenParkes sharing his codes for fMRI preprocessing.

Excited about the great work happening in one of my graduate research labs!

Chen Yu was awarded the NIH grant to study where infants look at the moment their parent names an object during early-stage development.
