Morning Twitter. Ella and I would be really grateful if you might take a moment to watch and share our #TEDx talk. 'Everyone deserves a seat at the table' Please help us #flipthenarrative for all of our fellow humans who need us to see them, as one. youtu.be/DXBdiGUQ8Lw

Enjoyed another weekly catch up with Alex🌻she/her and @AmyCatsSLT. It's the best feeling when you're speaking to people who are on the same autism page as yourself.

We are updating our clinic rooms soon, which are used for autism assessments for adults and children. I would like to know, what would make a clinic room better? Is there anything you remember wishing you had during your autism assessment? #AskingAutistics #autism

Dear North East SLTs, We are hosting a networking event for our students this Thursday, and we have space for 4 more SLTs. Would you like to come along and represent your discipline, and meet other inspiring SLTs and students? Shoot us a DM and we will send you the details! 💙

A call to #actuallyautistic therapists - especially UK based AHPs. Do you know of any studies into the experiences of autistic therapists (of any type) and what they bring to the table? I’ve been a few blog posts but no research. There must be some research in progress somewhere?

Thanks SLT Society NCL for having us🥰 loved chatting away to students about exciting non-traditional #SLT posts working on a 12 months pilot to improve #autistic people's experience of inpatient #mentalhealth wards @AmyCatsSLT

Thoughtful message from the ward we're working on @AmyCatsSLT 💛 we're in the last 3 months of a 12 month project, learning how we can improve support on #mentalhealth wards for #autistic people

This made my Christmas 🥹😂

Had well needed 10 days off in-between jobs, myself and @AmyCatsSLT had busy year and a bit working in acute #mentalhealth with specific focus on autism. Ready to start my new role working in prison next week #AHP #mySLTday

I wrote quite a scary blog about diet advice and being fat and I hope you all like it... medium.com/@suefletcherwa…

📣 COMING THIS AUTUMN 📣 @AuDHD_SLT, May 💫 & lisa chapman; @commonsenseslt.bsky.social are pleased to announce that they’re launching a new Neurodivergent Affirming Clinical Excellence Network for Speech & Language Therapy Professionals working across the UK & ROI.

Cannot believe what I've just read - a fellow health professional disclosed on registering with the HCPC that they were autistic only to be hit with 'Fitness to Practice concerns' 😡 Would love to hear how the HCPC can justify this (and still take ££ from many autistic HCPs)

Congratulations to our new group of #TalkingMats Licenced Trainers 👏 Thank you for being so enthusiastic and reflective over the past few days - and good luck with your training plans!

Sadly, we have had to close applications for this service in less than 24 hours because we've had 7 times the number of applications that we have places. Grant funders, this is the level of unmet need. National and local government, this is the level of unmet need.
