27、erful, I tried to explain.But from a neurotypical perspective, Lotus1 autism could only be seen as a weakness.Unsure of how to convince my agent of the strength and power autistic women hold, I began to write Lotus asneurotypical.And I failed miserably.After all, what do I know about being neurotypi

28、cal? My whole life, autism was my default.Not being diagnosed until 2020, I assumed the way I saw the world wasnormal.My current agent encourages me to write from my neurodivergent （神经多样，性的） experience.With this invitation, I revisited Lotus and saw her the way I first wrote her.And when I did, the

29、characters and the entire narrative began to make more sense.Identifying my characters as neurodivergent not only gives me joy as a writer, but it has produced my strongest writing.For so long, Pve combatted the advice to write what I know in part because I didnt know what I actually knew.I didnt kn

35、ly thought this reaction might be caused by the brain overactively processing certain sounds.Now, however, a new study published in Journal of Neuroscience has linked some forms of misophonia to heightened“minx）ring behavior in the brain: those affected feel distress while their brains act as if the

36、y were imitating the triggering mouth movements.“This is the first breakthrough in misophonia research in 25 years,u says psychologist Jennifer J.Brout, who directs the International Misophonia Research Network and was not involved in the new study.The research team, led by Newcastle University neur

37、oscientist Sukhbinder Kumar, analyzed brain activity in people with and without misophonia when they were at rest and while they listened to sounds.These included misophonia triggers （such as chewing）, generally unpleasant sounds （like a crying baby）, and neutral sounds.The brains auditory （听觉的）cort

38、ex, which processes sound, reacted similarly in subjects with and without misophonia.But in both the resting state and listening trials,people with misophonia showed stronger connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions that control movements of the face, mouth and throat, while the con

These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.Science is key to addressing

47、 these issues.But it isnt the only key.To achieve its potential and for its advances to be implemented and reach all who could benefit, science depends on trust and good relationships.People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives.There are reasons why some

48、 see science as having a chequered past, from nuclear weapons to eugenics（优生学），and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes.Others feel excluded by the incomprehensibility of hyperspecialist knowledge.In its capacity to build upon and test an evidence base, science is powerf
