If you're #autistic and have any advice for me on how to navigate job hunting when it's literally the hardest thing for me to do. (also #ADHD / #Anxiety / #Depression)

I just graduated with a MS in #softwaredevelopment from #bostonuniversity in January and I can't even get an interview so it feels like all this trauma-linked tasking of looking for jobs is causing me a lot of emotional hardship and all for nothing.

No, I don't know networking. I'm a great worker. I learn quickly and I communicate very well when I am secure in my fiscal well-being. i have a couple front end samples and a full stack example including techs like: #javascript #nodejs #vuejs #html_css. I have another pile of code on #github which is in-progress, but demonstrates #Python, #webscraping , #mongodb. If you want to see it I'll show you my project with my friend in #django / #mysql

Please get in touch if you have a lead or are autistic too and can help navigate this? Reply here or stephenmossis.cool/

Time for an #introduction.

I'm Stephen Moss, and I live in #Maine with my husband, Kenneth. He is a chemist and I work for Pearson Virtual Schools in the enrollment department while I finish a masters degree in #Software Development at #BostonUniversity online. (Graduating in Dec 2023!)

I'm comfortable with #Python, #Java, and #SQL and I'm currently getting together my portfolio of three web-apps including one to learn some #php. I don't consider myself a front-end developer, but I'm enjoying the things you can do with #HTML, #CSS and #JavaScript. Much more incredible than when I was doing it in my early 20s!

I'm particularly interested in making convoluted nonsense into clear digestible data via webscraping, and I'd love to get into #machinelearning.

If you're #hiring, I'm looking for my first tech job!

I write atypical #fantasy #fiction and I'm learning #Spanish with a tutor in #Bogotá. I love #woodworking in our garage! Here's a photo of our bed I built in September!

Thought today might be a good one to re-post something I'd put on another social network about #SolomonCarterFuller, often celebrated as the 1st Black psychiatrist, but whose place in #neurology and #neuroscience is underrecognized.

As a med student, Fuller attended a key event in the history of US neuropsychiatry: neurologist S. Weir Mitchell’s address to the AMPA (precursor to APA). Mitchell harshly critiqued the absence of a research program in asylum medicine. Asylums responded by setting up new labs; as autopsies were uncommon in the US compared to Europe, Fuller recognized that this new field presented more open opportunity to him as a Black MD, and came to lead a pathology lab at Westboro Hospital.

Like many US docs then, he sought more training in Europe. He studied German and in 1904 went to Munich, where he worked in Alzheimer's lab alongside Frederic #Lewy. He was treated more equitably there than in the US.

After his return to the US, Auguste D died in 1906 and #Alzheimer presented her case; that year Fuller presented one of the first accounts of neurofibrillary pathology to the AMPA. In 1912 Fuller published the 1st review of #AlzheimersDisease cases (including one of his own, the 9th overall) and the first English translation of Alzheimer's work.

In 1909, Fuller was invited to speak at #ClarkUniversity 20th anniversary; other invitees were a “little-known Viennese neurologist and his Swiss colleague” (Anne Harrington, Mind Fixers)—a turning point in US psychiatry. Fuller took interest in psychoanalysis & maintained correspondence w/ Jung, Meyer & Adler.

Fuller trained a cohort of Black psychiatrists, who mentored others. He led the #BostonUniversity dept of neurology for 5y but underpaid and untitled; when a white assistant prof was named chair ahead of him he went into private practice. His death was commemorated by James B Ayer: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM

In addition to these scientific connections, Fuller enjoyed close ties with other important historical figures. His wife Meta was herself an important sculptor championed by Rodin & they were close with other leaders like W.E.B. DuBois & Paul Robeson.

Neurologists and neuroscientists should celebrate Fuller as our colleagues in #psychiatry do. I recommend Mary Kaplan's lively biography Where My Caravan Has Rested, including an oral history that Fuller dictated to his son, to all. #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackInNeuro
