Please consider taking part. So much emphasis nowdays on school mental health. But what do we know about how school leadership teams operate/think/feel and their needs? Also what about #autistic mental health in their schools? Is this considered? How?

As an autistic ally & neurodiversity advocate, I often think abt/discuss/write how neurodiversity-affirming values translate to non-English-speaking cultures/counties. Much In line with our discussions Emine Gurbuz (she/her)! Congrats Yulin Cheng journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Good folk of Bristol...which local support organisations (if any) for #ActuallyAutistic friends, family members and yourselves do you find helpful?

Thanks all for listening! It’s a pleasure to reflect on the impact of working in partnership with #autistic people to explore suicide theory. Thank you for your comments, questions and feedback

Cos Michael @autismage returns in May leading our online Coffee Mornings. It's a 1 hr themed chat for older autistic pple. Not training or a lecture, just an informal online get-together. Still little or no mention of #AutisticElders #ActuallyAutistic their voices count!

Games Night is tomorrow at 7pm. For full event details and to confirm attendance please go to: autisticnottingham.org/members-page/

We are currently working on a project to bring Autistic Peer Support to the community, but to do that, we need to talk to Autistic people about their feelings and experiences (if they have any). Please email [email protected] with questions and your availability

Reflecting on the evolution of our CaTS-App tool for self-harm with embedded PPIE. It has taken ten+ years to get where we are. Many many grant rejections but some lucky awards: digitalyouth.ac.uk/research/resea…

We're excited to announce that Dr Jane Waite and team will join us for an #AutisticaWebinar! This #MentalHealthAwareness Month, they will discuss why anxiety is often overlooked in autistic people who speak few or no words. Book your free space below. eventbrite.co.uk/e/autistica-we…

Great to see more work addressing autism community priorities for #SuicidePrevention at #INSAR2023 eg 1) working in partnership with #autistic ppl; 2) exploring why #autistic ppl more at risk of suicide; 3) individualised suicide prevention strategies (eg safety planning) 1/2

So I’m on the train to #INSAR2023. I will be presenting a focus group study on neurotypical people’s ability to understand #autistic people (according to autistic participants). If you’d like to flip the narrative, come to the #SocialCognition poster session on Thursday!

It’s a pleasure to be at #INSAR2023 with Autism In Adulthood . If you want to know more about our journal, any feedback or comments, please feel free to stop & chat or DM me

So proud of this work and the team...go Jade Eloise Norris !

…It was so great to speak to @Rhys91705511 about his #INSAR2023 poster on autistic friendships, and his research on cross-neurotype friendships, interactions, and non-verbal communication. Fantastic research!

I loved @Rhys91705511's #INSAR2023 poster too! It included a quote from an autistic young person that I haven't stopped thinking about since I saw it: "It can be easier with non-neurotypicals...But I don't think it matters if you're autistic, I think it matters if you're kind"

Pleased to present our poster on what autistic adults want from post-diagnostic support at #INSAR2023
