Happy Ada Lovelace Day 2020! Ada Lovelace was a pioneering mathematician and the world's first computer programmer 💡 Today we're celebrating her achievements, as well as the achievements of all women in STEM 🌎💫 #ALD19 #womeninstem #AdaLovelaceDay

This Cold War Steve vs The PRB artwork on display Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is already much loved, with many people referring to it as "The Pre-Raphs on the bus", but do you know who is who? @Coldwar_Steve has visited BMAG ever since he was a kid, and grew up loving these paintings! #MuseumPassion

Do we really need more studies to show that #autistic girls are going undiagnosed due to ‘camouflaging’ behaviour? Isn’t this a well recognised fact? Time to actually do something about it! #GirlsCanBeAutisticToo #autism #masking theguardian.com/society/2020/o…

We've been speaking a lot this week about how we can better use technology to provide accessible mental health support, and are asking ourselves: Have we fully harnessed its potential? Are virtual alternatives to therapeutic intervention effective?

Sending love to everyone across the pond today. A tense and stressful moment in history, look after yourselves and your loved ones!

A little reminder about the non- linearity of #autism

Pretty sunset in our 3DNovations virtual world 🌅🥰

I want #ActuallyAutistic people to see this drawing I did of one of my autistic characters, Claire! Claire is a nonspeaking girl who loves writing, her two dads, and the color purple. Here she is happy #stimming.

An exciting new creative project by one of our builders Brendan! This is his music venue (which is yet to be finished): ⭐️”the inspiration behind my build were small club-like venues where bands perform. I found the building experience interesting and I learned new things.”

One commons lens I see is folks splitting autistic people into ‘gifted’ or ‘special ed’ groups and and treating the groups as if separate. The better lens is that the majority of autistic people have uneven ability. Talent in some areas and need extensive support in others.

I’ve written a blog about home education and how children with SEND should not be squeezed out of the narrative (again). I’ve also put a few examples of good resources in this thread - please add more! woodbug.blog/2021/01/09/loc… 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

A few captures from an ongoing project with @MomentumWorld #TimeforTea Time for Tea is an educational activity encouraging global learning, creative thinking and social action! Exciting things are achieved over a (virtual) cup of tea. Find out more here: time4tea.info

Autism acceptance training was successful for reducing explicit bias against #autistic people, but not implicit bias. Interesting findings! journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

According to Very Well Health, “Some adults with autism have successful careers in demanding fields such as information technology, robotics, and video game production.” This makes sense to us, as 80% of our innovative team have #autism. #AutismAwareness

#Autism should be recognised in education to a point where all learning services are inclusive for all.

Recently, our team member, Eilidh, wrote an article on how virtual worlds can benefit people struggling with autism, as opposed to zoom meetings. Check it out here: futureofwork.space/how-virtual-wo…

Today starts #AutismAwarenessWeek. Most people know what autism is, so now that awareness part is to make people understand and accept autistic people. We want a society where no one feels excluded. Please spend some time this week to educate your self. I’ll be sharing bits :)

We carry out and promote #research into some of the biggest issues affecting #neurodivergent CYP, who may also be living with learning difficulties, and their families. See below to discover how to get involved in future research and to access our reports! mindroom.org/about-us/resea…
