In communication with non-autistics, autistics "are constantly on high alert, overthinking how their words might be misinterpreted" & "try to read between the lines, which is tiring & can lead to speaking less or feeling less confident" sciencedirect.com/science/ar… mixed methods study

Excited to be presenting my poster later today at #INSAR2025!
It dives into the theory of the double empathy problem, with a focus on how well people with and without autism can understand each other’s thoughts when they share (or don’t share) the same neurotype. Come say hi!

During the Inclusive Autism Research Day, people with autism shared with researchers what needs to change in research! The day started with presentations and continued with engaging round table discussions. Immensely proud of what we organized! @MauraNevejans @explora_gent

Last week I was invited to present on 'Autism and the Predictive Brain', alongside Prof Floris De Lange, at the Science Cafe Nijmegen. Thanks to Floris, the organizers, the amazing audience that made for a lively discussion afterwards, the live musicians... I had a great time!

Finally, the hard copy version of the book on automatic imitation, @CraccoEmiel and I edited, has arrived. We're glad the book is also available as open access via the following link: link.springer.com/book/10.10…

Was happy to present on Autism and the Brain (and Neurodiversity!) for a full house at Breinwijzer vzw yesterday! Thanks to the organisers and enthusiastic audience :)

Mareike Westfal recently developed and validated an online version of the imitation-inhibition task. This allows even researcher with few programming experiences to assess imitative behavior online. Together with @JanCrusius @CraccoEmiel

Very grateful for the opportunity to present our research at the Social Cognition Workshop as a blitz talk (and a poster)! Thank you for the interesting questions and discussions. I’m already looking forward to next year’s edition! 😄
1️⃣ @MauraNevejans reported no significant link between deictic relational reasoning and autistic traits, challenging the claims of Relational Frame Theory regarding Theory of Mind and perspective-taking in autism.
