@SarahMarieOB My son is doing this and enjoying it so far.

Okay, I think it went well, but we shall see! I *think* I’m qualified to deliver training on making health and social care more accessible and inclusive of autistic people and those with a learning disability.

Job interview in half an hour! We shall see how it goes!

@tipperairey Same here. It says to me that he has a lifetime of trauma being laughed at for his traits and therefore is using this for his comedy which in turn reinforces the view that autistic people are there to be laughed at. Awful.

Anybody else unable to watch Ludwig because it appears to be an autistic man making fun of autistic traits?

@SarahMarieOB Good luck.

@Ian_A_Irwin @RealDMitchell @BBCOne @BBCTheOneShow @BBCFrontRow I had the same thought and had to find it on YouTube to prove to my OH.

The new detective show I'm in, #Ludwig, starts today. It's on @BBCOne at 9pm. Below is a trailer made the right shape for you to view on your phone! If this isn't enough to persuade you to watch, tune into @BBCTheOneShow or @BBCFrontRow later and I'll persuade you some more.

In memory of @stevesilberman, we are sharing free recordings of our two online events with him until the end of October. If you would like to watch them, you can find them on our website. Scroll down the page to AutAngel News and Updates. autangel.org.uk

📢 'NEWS' We're so proud to share that @GeorgeJulian has joined the Community Living team as our courts reporter. Court reporting is declining but George's work is vital, shining a light and scrutinising why people with Learning Disabilities die from often preventable causes.

My whole life in a nutshell

Very excited that my book 'The Autistic Postgraduate Woman: Navigating the Neurotypical University' is now available for pre-order from @PavPub. Foreword by the brilliant @DrAmyPearson. pavpub.com/catalogue-2024… #AutisticsInAcademia @WAARC_Sheffield @EducationSheff

Our paper about neurodiversity, models of disability, and intervention preferences is out. Led by Patrick Dwyer, with a stellar team. It is a sequel to our 2013 Dev Psych Neurodiversity paper and I think it has a depth and power that is 11 years stronger: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

Measurement Issues: Measuring well-being is challenging due to varying definitions and the need for reliable, valid instruments tailored to specific groups like university students. #d1e220" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… @alysondodd @PriestleyMJ @katietyrrell99 @KittyN101

I haven't seen this book, so this is not a recommendation based on having read it, but I am reposting in case it's of interest to anyone.
