Two-year part-time distance learning MSc course in Psychology and Learning Disability @uop_psychology - core subjects, research methods, thesis! #LD #autism #ND
Everywhere (distance learning)
Joined March 2022
Clarifying sources of confusion: this master's course is online (costs are no greater outside the UK). Students can complete tasks on own time but there are "live" options too. Most students also work (some full-time). Learning disability in UK = intellectual disability elsewhere
Hello, we are a 2-year part-time distance learning MSc course on learning/intellectual disability, autism, & neurodiversity @uop_psychology. See our website for modules, costs, and more: We are recruiting for 2022-2023 (starts in September). Please RT! 🙏

We hope to see this paper online soon! Autism as lifelong both critically deconstructs 'autistic regression' & 'losing' an autism diagnosis, because autistic people's neurodivergence precedes when people (behaviourally) look clearly autistic, and remain as people mask autism.
Presented on autism as a lifelong neurodivergence w/ sensory-movement underpinnings @uniofwarwickWe for Neurodiversity Symposium organised by my @UoP_PaLD student @PsychStudentRes through @OUPS_AskFred. Autism, neglect, blindness all affect tactile experiences but *differently*.

Thank you @drstevenkapp for representing us @RoyColPod, in Germany (see below), and this weekend @uniofwarwickWe for the Neurodiversity Symposium organised by our own @PsychStudentRes through @OUPS_AskFred. We are a 2-year online course in psychology, autism, ID, neurodiversity.
Apologies for the Corny 🇩🇪 joke but it was lovely to be invited to present in Halle to the German Scientific Network for Autism Research in Education, on autism and neurodiversity. @UoP_PaLD made a guest appearance across the network as well - students can study online anywhere.

Great presentation by @social_parasite, who co-authored a free paper as an insider researcher for a study stemming from one of @UoP_PaLD MSc student's thesis, on transgender & non-binary autistic adults' experiences seeking gender-affirming healthcare: 👈
Our PhD student @social_parasite presented in @uop_psychology's PGR (Postgraduate Researcher) Research Day on autistic people's experiences of substance use and substance use services ("Improving substance use services for Autistic adults: Insights and recommendations").

@ChloeSApter @portsmouthuni Hi Chloe, I just saw your message. It is important you get the support you need. Could you e-mail Jo Nye (joanna.nye@port.ac.uk) if the matter is not resolved? She has worked as @uop_psychology's ASDAC liaison and is of course the Course Leader for the MSc as well.
