Thank you to @WSJ for this interview, I enjoyed having the opportunity to talk about why people perpetrate sexual assault. wsj.com/articles/the-mentali…
Karen Lean, a HEARTS facilitator, speaks to why it's important to our team to use a neurodiversity-embracing approach. The HEARTS class is available from AANE.
Also of note, our Boston University Sargent College research about sexual, physical and emotional abuse experienced by autistic college students is referenced: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3481…
Congratulations to our colleagues at UCLA PEERS for important and on-going work. Full article here: nytimes.com/2025/06/12/healt…
So proud that the HEARTS healthy relationships class for autistic adults got a shout out in the New York Times today, thanks to the excellent reporting from @EllenBarryNYT

Have you created adult content for OnlyFans, the Hub, or another site? I'm particularly interested in interviewing those 18-24 years old in USA, but open to all ages for now. Well compensated Zoom interview, 1 hr, confidential. Please DM me. Hoping no fraudsters or bots. Thanks!

My book Pornography and Public Health got some love in the The New York Times magazine yesterday from The Ethicist, aka Kwame Anthony Appiah. I am so glad that the book, and the way I think about pornography, sex, and relationships, has landed helpfully with some people.

Our team was VERY excited to learn that this paper was accepted and is now in press in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence:
Our paper uses a nationally representative US sample and demonstrates that youth with mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions had substantially elevated odds of more frequent physical, sexual, psychological and cyber dating abuse victimization
Autistic men: Are you in the US age 50+? I have a new project but too few autistic men! This project is about being autistic and having had a colonoscopy. It is paid. You have to be in the USA. I interview you (fraudsters, bots you will not succeed). Please DM me by Dec 1. TY!
New paper alert! "Prevalence of Neurodevelopmental, Mental, and Behavioral Disorders in a Sample of U.S. Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth, and Associations with Health and Health Care Access"
(i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder), a mood disorder (i.e. PTSD, depression, or anxiety), or a behavioral disorder (substance use, eating, or conduct disorder). Approximately 26% reported seeking healthcare while being exploited.
