Many of my #autistic friends find video meetings (Zoom, Teams, etc) less tiring than in person meetings. I’d love to hear from #autistic folk; do you prefer video to in person meetings? What is it (apart from travel) that makes them less exhausting? RTs appreciated!

Very pleased that our latest paper is now out in RASD Sleep Special Issue, looking at sleep problems and mental health difficulties in older adults w/ high autistic traits.
