Clarifications to the academic clickbait title:

1) not on his own: he has *898* coauthors across 161 papers, most of whom are his PhD students
2) it seems he has mostly done critical review of manuscripts (and been on funding apps)
3) he teaches *one month a year*!!! 4) his papers have been picked up for high levels of self-plagiarism - using chunks of text from one paper in another
5) he has also has high levels of self-citation

Shout out to @deevybee for her work on this, which is basically dismissed in the article.

For #WeeklyPapers this week, I've chosen to present a new paper that is explicitly about autistic men.

While there is a lot of autism work which has mostly/all male samples, looking at male lived experiences *in their own right* is still surprisingly rare!

#Autism #AutisticMen "What does success mean for autistic men? A narrative exploration of self-determination" (2020) Webster & Garvis, ADLI

Most of my work has focussed on non-male autistic people, so I'm looking forward to reading qual work that looks at male exps w/gender lens, not as 'default'

I'm going to try to tweet from the front for this one - I'm presenting on mental health of autistic men, women and non binary people at 11.10.

In this giant room (below)

But first is @dewinterjeroen talking about sexual relationships.
#AECongress19 Starts by telling us that this has only really been looked at in the last 10 years. Prior to that sexual interest was seen as pathological in autistic people

New session, new thread (same seat)

Most excited to hear from @Sarah_NottsUni about her updated work!

#AECongress19 First an overview of mental health in autism, covering:

What do we mean by MH?
What do we know about MH in autistic people?
What are the consequences?
What contributes to MH problems?
What factors protect from MH problems?
