GROVE will no longer be using this platform (we will check in every now and again but not post). Please find us on most other social media platforms including the one that has a lovely blue sky to look up to.

Congratulations to GROVE Neurodivergent Mentoring & Education. @GrOve_Org have been shortlisted for the Community Organisation Award for Disability at the National Diversity Awards 2025 in association with @HSBC_UK! Good Luck! #NDA25 #NDA

@ndawards @HSBC_UK Thank you so much! We are all really excited and grateful!

The term 'situational mutism' is being used for two very different things — and some young people are getting the wrong support as a result. We explain the difference between selective mutism and reactive mutism in our new position paper. 📘 spectrumgaming.net/post/sm-vs-rm

In line with my theme of the day about neuro-affirming language. Here is a blog I wrote for @GrOve_Org "Neuro-Affirming Language & Avoiding the Harm of Neurodiversity-Lite" autisticrealms.com/neuro-affirmin…

Delighted to share GROVE's new blog written by @autisticrealms - 'Autistic Young People & Friendships'. Read here: lnkd.in/dvWii7ei

Did you read our new blog 'What does ‘neuro-affirming’ mean for Autistic young people?' If so, you'll have seen GROVE's Neuro-affirming Foundations. As a team, we also recognise that we must remain open, reflective and humble and therefore always willing to learn.

@HolisticHV They sure do!

@GrOve_Org You’re very welcome. It’s a very helpful blog. And who doesn’t love Luke Beardon’s Golden Equation?!? All those working with children and young people need to know and understand it. In fact,just everyone needs to know it!

Have you heard people talking about “neuro-affirming” and wondered what they mean by it? Then this blog post May he worth reading!

@autisticrealms Featuring @SheffieldLuke 's golden equation! We hope you approve 😊

New blog available to read on GROVE's website... @autisticrealms

Excellent feedback recently for @GrOve_Org individual mentoring service. I’m thrilled to be a part of this wonderful organisation! 🙂

This booklet explores how #monotropism, a #neurodiversity affirming theory of #autism may impact young people. It provides ideas to support at home & in other settings such as school to help prevent #autistic #burnout. Available here amzn.eu/d/0xC3Ef3

@AutisticallySco , @autgeek and I just had the pleasure of spending time with our Young Leaders. What absolutely amazing Autistic young people! Feeing full of joy and hope now.

@autisticrealms @martinimarie @emgntdivergence @TanyaAdkin @stimpunks Ooof. That’s heartbreaking.

😳😳😳 Shocking to see £10 million used on restraint training. It would be better spent educating how to meet needs!! #UnmetNeeds #Dysregulation 👇

Calling fathers and male carers of children with OCD to join our November workshop to co-develop an online resource to support parents and carers of children with obsessive-compulsive disorder. @COASSIST_OCD @OCDUK @AnxietyUK @ARC_GM_ @Research_Future

If you are #autistic do you find it harder to understand your #interoception #sensory system? Our interoception system is what tells uswhen we are hot/cold/hungry/thristy /in pain or if we need the toilet. Do you have any tips to share that help you?
