#Genderdysphoria & FASD short thread 🧵 #FASD is a brain-based disability, caused by alcohol. It is known as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. It is a ‘Spectrum’ & often not visible physically. It often co-exists with #autism #adhd #aspergers #LD & remains largely under diagnosed
In #Australia, alcohol is part of the culture & part of life. It is a BIG problem. Mothers are cautioned largely not to drink & the fathers role is largely ignored, not realising their own addictions affect the foetus. Many children & teens have FASD Spectrum & they don’t know it
Nor do their parents. If the parents do know, there can be much guilt, denial, shame & lack of support. Many children with FASD are underdiagnosed or MISdiagnosed. There are a group of children/ teens with #FASD & #genderdysphoria (with or without #autism) #psychology

2/11 "Dyslexia is a paradox." "Research shows that IQ and dyslexia aren't related." by @Edutopia @YoukiTerada @smerrill777.
3/11 "The research says it all, hiring people with dyslexia will help future-proof the workplace." by @richardbranson.
We have a new study forthcoming in Exceptional Children. We examine whether students of color are more or less likely to be identified as having #disabilities in U.S. states with histories of de jure and de facto racial #segregation. (1) 
Special education has been theorized to have been used as an alternative legal strategy for schools to avoid racial integration. This prior work was historical and descriptive. Others have suggested that over-identification might be especially likely to occur in the South. (2)
Yet other work suggests that students of color may be under-identified as having disabilities in the U.S. South, incl. due to political and economic factors. Mechanisms hypothesized to result in under-identification nationally may also be operating similarly in the South. (3)
Looking forward to this! CS people, seminar starts 14:00 in 1.4
Here @pgroth being introduced by @CaroleAnneGoble for his seminar "Flexible & Transparent Data Reuse" at @csmcr
Topics today: Problem of data reuse. Then data integration, data munging, data wrangling. Data provenance, lower the barriers to understand how data is made. Combining this to make it transparent.
