SEND parent. Researcher. Still fighting the system. 💜 I study how schools talk about food with autistic children — mindful of how hard eating itself can be. It’s lived. It’s real. RT if you get it. 👇 👉 tinyurl.com/yc43vztk

I live this every single day. Not because I chose to research it — but because I had to. Our children deserve understanding. 💜 #SENDCommunity #LivedExperienceResearcher #Neurodiversity #AutismAcceptance

Last week I attended the Neurodiversity Network Conference @StaffsUni 💙 with Naomi Ellis from @chadresearchuk. Inspiring day & great to meet amazing people! Highlight: chatting with Nutritionist Sarah Osbourne on ARFID & eating challenges. 🔗tinyurl.com/yc43vztk

Brillant to be unboxing some copies of our NEurodivergent peer Support Toolkit (NEST). If you work in a secondary school and want to download (Free! Evidence-based!) resources to help set up peer support for neurodivergent students, find out more here: edin.ac/3Rr5W5R

super excited about today....thinking about collaborative change for ED services and research within and between Autistic people with lived experience of ED's, clinicians, researchers and third sector in collaboration with @SupportEDScot @AutismInit and @NAITScotland

@autcareandshare Couldn’t agree more!!

Autistic, not broken, doesn't need fixing. The only thing that needs fixing is the world he lives in.

@Hankumna @BPSWestMids @StaffsPsych That’s brilliant Hannah

I feel really excited to share that the British Psychological Society just published my article about my research on Teachers' use of humour styles in the classroom. @BPSWestMids @StaffsPsych bps.org.uk/news/teachers-…

36 journals are participating in a special issue on Neurodiversity. Submissions are due April 30th. It represents a variety of disciplines and neurodivergences. Good opportunity especially for neurodiversity and neurodivergent scholars and advocates. Link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/products/call-…

Day 3 #ResearchAdvent 🎄 #1/2 TBH I would love parents & teachers to perceive my research as useful. For it to influence their behaviour & practice so that children will be the beneficiaries. Not asking for much really 🤣
