Shmulsky, Solvegi; Gobbo, Ken; Donahue, Andy; Klucken, Frank – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2021
The neurodiversity paradigm is a social justice concept that reframes neurologically based conditions including autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities, as beneficial forms of diversity. A question arising from this framework is the degree to which people forge neurodiversity identities based in self-acceptance. Little is known about identity…

Vaucheret Paz, E.; Martino, M.; Hyland, M.; Corletto, M.; Puga, C.; Peralta, M.; Deltetto, N.; Kuhlmann, T.; Cavalié, D.; Leist, M.; Duarte, B.; Lascombes, I. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
People punish transgressors with different intensity depending if they are members of their group or not. We explore this in a cross-sectional analytical study with paired samples in children with developmental disorders who watched two videos and expressed their opinion. In Video-1, a football-player from the participant's country scores a goal…

Mayes, Susan Dickerson; Waschbusch, Daniel A.; Calhoun, Susan L.; Mattison, Richard E. – Exceptionality, 2020
Little is known about the characteristics of academic overachievers, children whose achievement significantly exceeds IQ. Correlates of overachievement (achievement test scores = 1 SD above IQ), nondiscrepant achievement, and learning disability (LD; achievement = 1 SD below IQ) were analyzed in 1,543 children (739 ADHD, 285 autism, and 519…

Kulawiak, Pawel R. – Cogent Education, 2021
Classroom noise impairs students' cognition and learning. At a first glance, it seems useful to prevent the negative effects of noise on academic learning by wearing noise-cancelling (NC) headphones during class. The literature and guidelines emphasize the academic benefits of wearing NC headphones (decreased auditory distraction, increased…

Many neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) share common learning and behavioural impairments, as well as features such as dysregulation of the oxytocin hormone. Here, we examined DNA methylation (DNAm) in the 1st intron of the oxytocin receptor gene, "OXTR," in patients with autism spectrum (ASD), attention deficit and hyperactivity (ADHD)…

Dennis, Sophie Lampard – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2017
When students are offered choices within assignments it increases buy-in and, therefore, motivation toward the task--and ultimately for the class itself. As a professor in an academic setting in which many millennials seem to be suffering from a persistent lack of motivation, it was a no-brainer for the author to consider creating a way to offer…
