So, my PhD by publication has just been approved by @LSBU. “Autistic doctors: leveraging insider perspectives to improve healthcare for autistic people”. I should be ecstatic. I’m not. Why not?? 🧵👇🏻

Hey #AutisticsInAcademia considering applying for #INSAR2024 I'm interested in potentially proposing a panel discussion on good practice participatory autism research. Ideally, a mix of PhD to established/larger scale projects. Would anyone want to potentially joint-apply?

Such an important paper from colleagues at @BSMSMedSchool @BruceTamilson @BendyBrain & @Autistic_Doc Receiving an autism diagnosis was life-changing, deeply validating, allowed them to be their true authentic selves, improved mental health Accurate diagnosis matters #AutismNotPD

I opened with “I’m autistic, I’m frazzled cos all this is new. It’s not anxiety” She goes: “cool, I’ve 2 neurodivergent kids, hubby just dx’d w ADHD. I get it” And yep, she really got it. She explained EVERYTHING, in detail.

I had the best ever healthcare experience today! A clinician who just “gets it” makes all the difference. It can even be lifesaving. Come & learn how to manage autistic patients in the ED👇🏻 #MedTwitter

In celebration of Scotland's incorporation of #UNRC into law, I'm resharing my poster on #Article31 and the #RightToPlay and reminding people that yes the CRC protects children's rights but we have to remember that ALL children's rights need protected. Let's rethink! #AllPlayIsOk

'Sadly it is the experience of this court that this situation is not a rare occurrence and the consequence is utter devastation of yet another family.'

A 23-year-old son stabbed his beloved mother to death in a horrific knife attack after his deteriorating mental health was misdiagnosed as autism. Alan Williams was in fact suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

This is outrageous. Autism is not an adverse outcome, it's a neurotype. Variation in neurotype is beneficial for society. Being Autistic means a difference, not a deficit. With small environmental adjustments, Autistic people flourish.
