Very important research coming out of Dublin Business School on how psychological flexibility + social supports might be predictive of outcomes for autistic, ADHD+AuDHD parents. ⁦@ACTually_Alyson⁩ pictured here presenting for her student, Cara LaFroy.

So many inspiring ideas for the last collaborative All means All workshop. It was amazing to have so many advocates and researchers representing all dimensions of diversity to centre the voice of those who are marginalised. @allmeansall_edu @MaynoothUni @LeahLotoole
