To add: 'High masking' is a functioning label

A misinformed & limited understanding of masking, based on a superficial & exclusive social narrative of 'fitting in'; rather than as a multi-faceted developmental behavioural response to multi-layered intersectional stigma & trauma

#Menopause is in the spotlight at the moment but #Autistic and #Neurodivergent people’s experiences and support needs often get overlooked.
We’re doing our best to fix this through a co-produced 3-phase international research study AutMenopause

Please help with our new research study! #Autistic Adults in the UK, help us test a new online task looking at facial emotion recognition and its relationship to mood, thinking styles, and more: tinyurl.com/IUonlinetask RTs much appreciated!

I was refused PIP with an active cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatment. Apparently my condition of incurable cancer is not impacting my day to day life. I did a mandatory reconsideration with extra paperwork & refused again.

I've just read a response from a ' #SEND ' teacher claiming that their job is to teach Autistic children to 'function'

No, that is not your job

Ever

Education needs a seriously reckoning. Teachers need support to be informed & reflective

And the normative bollocks needs binned

Proud of MSc Psychology and Learning Disability supervisee Harley Bruce: led a paper on autistic adults' access to gender-affirming healthcare that was reviewed 10/10 (objective, design, context, connection to theories, sampling, data collection, analysis, verification, conclusions & reflexivity) in quality.

Super interesting systematic review!! Well done Lauren C. , fab work, we would love to do interview with you about this to support dissemination and think about what this means for the Autistic community with eating disorders if you would be willing!

10 THINGS I WISH PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN EATING DISORDERS KNEW ABOUT AUTISM: A THREAD 🌈🌈🌈

1. We are not ‘treatment resistant’ or ‘non-compliant’, we just need a different approach to care and reasonable adjustments to be made to accommodate our neurodivergence. 🙏

When masked paramilitary police starts to arrest eminent university professors on campus ground for defending positions like 'thou shalt not mass murder children', maybe you should start questioning a thing or two about what your society has become...
