As someone who has been autistic since before I can even remember anything...I should probably let you know that having a hyperfixation doesn’t automatically make you autistic.

Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children with autism: they're 160x more likely to drown than neurotypical peers. A Phoenix swim school is training kids with disabilities to be safe around water, using routines built around their strengths. This is Autism Awareness Month.

A black and white photo of British actor AJ Donnelly with the text "'This is too much' isn't me being dramatic. It's me being overwhelmed."
For a long time, I believed I was being weak. And others told me the same.
But it's not weakness. It's just me and people like me trying to process a world demanding too much of our autistic brains.
And sometimes, that's just overwhelming. 🌻

Why are more people being diagnosed autistic? Maybe we're just getting better at finding them? Broadening "autism spectrum disorder" to include five different conditions expands who is counted as autistic. Better diagnostic criteria and inclusivity mean fewer people fall through the cracks. More awareness and early screening mean we're better at recognizing autistic traits. And many adults are just now discovering they're autistic - meaning the past rates have always been wrong. We're still learning how much each factor influences diagnostic rates, but it's NO SURPRISE they're increasing. One thing we know: Vaccines do not cause autism.
Those claiming it's a great mystery why the number of autism diagnoses are going up are missing some obvious clues. #autismawareness #autism

A new study led by Dr. Melissa Franch in the lab of Dr. Ben Hayden at BCM Neurosurgery seeks to understand the neural activities that create communication differences for individuals with Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD).
“Communication differences in autism may reflect a reduced use of earlier words in a sentence when interpreting language. By studying single neurons in autistic adults while they listened to speech, we found that basic word meanings are preserved, but the way the brain combines information from surrounding words is different. Neural activity showed broader, less precise use of prior words, simpler patterns of organization, and weaker signals related to predicting upcoming words. These findings suggest that communication differences in autism arise not from understanding words themselves, but from how the brain uses surrounding words to shape meaning.” -Dr. Melissa Franch, Postdoctoral Fellow
Social and communicative deficits are defining characteristics of #Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD).
A new study led by @mfranch.bsky.social in the lab of Dr. Ben Hayden at #BCMNeurosurgery seeks to understand the neural activities that create certain communication differences.

Not all struggles look loud. Some are felt quietly.
That’s where the right BS comes in.
Support that meets the brain where it is—helping with focus, calm, and emotional balance… without forcing change.
