@OBU_Psychology @brookeshls @IPSAPedSleep Smashing! Well done Fiona!

Me talking about my PhD research findings - fond nostalgic memories of young autistic adults often referred to feeling accepted by others #AutismAcceptance #oxford_brookes @OBU_Psychology

[Psychology @ Brookes @OBU_Psychology]

Ahead of Autism Acceptance Week 2024 listen to @Bennett6Julie talking about her research "acceptance by others is helpful for acceptance of the self" #autismacceptanceweek

What a wonderful video to help non-autistic people see how necessary stimming is for autistic ppl

[@Autistic Realms @autisticrealms]

This is a really wonderful short 2 min video celebrating the positive ways that #stimming helps regulate the mind and body for #autistic people

We @aaspireproject sadly fell behind schedule in recruitment because of a flood of study scammers. We only have a few weeks left to recruit our full sample of participants and need your support. Please share widely. Consider participating if you're an autistic adult in the US. 🙏

[Anna Robinson 💚 (she/her) @Dr_AnnaRobinson]

Want to have your say on what makes a great (or rubbish) school day? If you are #autistic or know a young autistic person who would like to tell us ‘what makes a good school experience’, please pass this study advert on to them. 🙏
