I feel I should clarify in case not clear: This review didn't look at "effectiveness" ie it didn't weigh good impacts against bad. We need studies like that of psych hospitals & there are virtually none. It highlights common adverse impacts, like identifying the most common adverse drug effects in a drug trial. One can interpret further, but the study authors themselves didn't.
This is the kind of systematic study that of course should actually be making headlines everywhere: PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS MAKE PATIENTS FEEL WORSE -- 111 studies across 25 countries reveal how psychiatric "care" usually backfires madinamerica.com/2025/02/tra…

My latest essay (w Emelie Peine) @insidehighered encourages professors not to rural bash--nor assume that all rural students or those from "flyover states" are Trump supporters. We must create a culture of inclusion, belonging for #rural students, too.

Are you more likely to be convicted of a crime you didn’t commit if you’re autistic?
Here’s the story of how Robert Roberson’s autism paved the way for his execution next month.
He’s got the support of @innocence, @JohnGrisham, and autism support orgs.

Tomorrow (8/16) is the last day to comment on the Reforming the NIH Framework. Among many proposed changes, there is a proposed renaming of NIA to the National Institute on Dementia. I wrote to express my opposition. I encourage my colleagues to do the same.

If you are interested in understanding some of the limitations of the ADA in relation to how one's behavior can limit access, check out this new paper from @DorfmanDoron. #disabilitylaw #DisabilityTwitter
Excited that @michlawreview will publish my new article Third-Party Accommodations! It disrupts the common narrative about the scope of the reasonable accommodations doctrine for disabled people and religious individuals while centering lived experiences. A 🧵1/8 #CripTheVote
ALT Does disability rights law impose an obligation on employers, schools, and other places of public accommodation to control the behavior of coworkers, students, or other third parties to accommodate an individual with disabilities? This Article examines this unexplored legal question. It traces the development of case law and shows that the law frequently fails to protect people with disabilities from the choices and behaviors of third parties that can serve as major barriers to access yet are often considered beyond the reach of the Americans with Disabilities Act’s reasonable accommodation doctrine. This Article argues that this problem is the result of the improper imposition of the privity paradigm, which limits the inquiry about the reasonableness of an accommodation to the relationship between the first party (the disabled individual) and the second party (the employer or other entity covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act).
