A somewhat personal story from me today. I wrote about what the words "neurodiversity" and "neurodivergent" mean (and don’t mean), specifically in the context of these terms now being used more broadly, not just in the autism community. vice.com/en/article/v7d…

[1/4] Tips for folks who want to be good allies during #AutismAcceptanceMonth: 1. Most autistic people prefer to be called "autistic" rather than "people with autism." 2. Listen to autistic people. 3. Avoid demeaning/inaccurate terms like "high functioning" and "low functioning."

Very excited for our first RaEN student advisory panel on Thursday. This network was created for students and each member will always have a voice 🤍

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility 🏳️‍⚧️ You can explore these great resources to know more about the experiences of the trans members of our community and how to support them.

Next Wednesday we have a discussion panel about the intersection of being #Neurodivergent and #LGBTQIA Both can be associated with a journey of identity, self-realisation and 'coming out'. Register to join us or receive the recording. eventbrite.co.uk/e/306350020157
