@autisticbutter1 @AutisticDoctor @Sarah_NottsUni These communication & interoceptive differences do indeed come up in our works (including in that study), including educating healthcare professionals about the importance of recognising this in our @Autistic_SPACE framework.

Delighted to have been able to present the @Autistic_SPACE framework (facilitating reasonable adjustments for autistic people, at any age) as part of a wider session with @eva_loth at the below conference just now 😊

I’ve just had the best speaking experience *ever* @_NIMDTA
Talking about @Autistic_SPACE to medical & dental educators. Never have I felt so welcome, so well understood & accepted. What made the difference? A 🧵

[Seb Shaw @Autistic_Doc]

In this new study (in @MedEd_Journal), we draw on our recent Autistic SPACE framework (in @bjhospmed) to suggest some first steps for more inclusive practices in #MedEd for #ActuallyAutistic students

[Seb Shaw @Autistic_Doc]

Lots of lovely messages today about *how* workplaces might start making adjustments - both on a personal level & through larger, cultural change.

If interested, check out our 'Autistic SPACE' framework, which could be transferable to lots of settings ☺️
