CRAE's wonderful @AutisticCharlie has been sharing key ideas for teams at #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek across @UCL this week: • No one needs to tell you they’re neurodivergent. Start by assuming groups are all neurodiverse and work from a genuinely inclusive stance. 1/4

A recent study showed 1/5 of people referred to #psychiatry OPDs are #actuallyautistic. If your clinical experience is that this is much lower, you’re probably missing #autism in your patients. This 🧵 will explain why that’s a problem, why it happens, and how to stop 1/35

How effective, currently, are psychological therapies for anxiety and depression of autistic people? Evidence from ~8,500 autistic adults who accessed UK primary care services tinyurl.com/mr353pvf

Our Autism ResearCH (ARCH) Seminar series is back for another year of fantastic ECRs sharing their research! Our first speaker is @HannahDeLaet presenting her results of a survey with 400 autistic people focusing on the double empathy problem. 15th Nov 2pm shorturl.at/ET469

The @DCPPreQual 2024 Alternative Handbook was published last week, for the past 5 years it has asked trainees if they would recommend their course to others. The variation between programmes is quite stark. Scores fluctuate year on year so I've also posted the 5-year mean (1/2)

Autistic people & moving home: systematic review by David Mason & colleagues reports little is known about this. Independent living has potential advantages & ongoing co-designed research will produce a tailored resource @HappeLab NEW, FREE to 4 Apr: liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/au…

Don’t miss this paper while open access - by the wonderful David Mason, @vic_milner and amazing students from our @SGDPCentreKCL MSc - part of our work on #autistic adults’ experience of moving house

A few folk have asked whether I undertake private assessments - and I do! I work mainly online for a few different clinics, as well as the NHS. You can find those clinics through a Google search and I’m also in the process of setting up my own website too - watch this space!

@APsychiatrist2 @BBCOne Great question! My colleagues and I have just finished a pilot paper on this: psyarxiv.com/x7pbj/ We are working on guidance for clinicians at the moment and hope to finalise our additions to the current diagnostic toolset very soon.

Does anyone know of any articles about DLD and neurodiversity? I feel like autism and ADHD have a lot more on them, but I can’t find much about how the neurodiversity movement applies to DLD? #devlangdis

ADOS-2 / Autism diagnostic assessors, please can you share advice on creating more positive and neuro-affirming diagnostic reports. It’s a big question in one tweet but is there any type of working group/supervision on this? Thank u #Neurodiversity #SLTchat #wespeechies
