Hello, I’m an #actuallyautistic psychologist working in #Autism . We’re recruiting EbEs to help us redevelop our service but I’d be so grateful if some of you lovely autistic people would feel able to share some of your experiences? Details in the link. Thank you! #AskingAutistic

Open letter asking the @BPSOfficial to issue a statement calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Incredibly disappointing from @UKRI_News.

Our response:

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Gaza is full of creativity, learning & joy. That is what is being destroyed.

We need an urgent ceasefire, the release of hostages and an end to the siege.

And then, maybe, we can try to bring some hope to the people of Gaza — teachers, artists, musicians — longing for peace.

[Lucia Sarmiento Verano @SarmientoVerano]

The current silence in our profession in the face of genocide is loud. It's time to speak up.
Here is an open letter to mental health professionals, networks and organisations.
If you wish to co-sign it, the form is in my next tweet 👇

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

I asked autistic people and ADHDers what they find hard about therapy and what adjustments would help. Out of over 800 responses, these were the most common replies and themes.👇🏻

[Eating Disorders Neurodiversity Australia @EDNeuroAus]

Autistic meltdowns are part of Autistic people's life but there's little understanding among neurotypicals regarding the varied triggers, the different ways they manifest, & useful strategies to help an Autistic people in intense distress.

Had a lovely time on day 1 of the DClin but I think maybe now I will simply lay down and sleep for 12 hours whilst my brain recovers 😴

@LQMcLellan Oh god!! Crossing my fingers for you, I think I would keel over from that level of stress! 🤞

[Meg @ClinicallyMeg]

Back from lovely annual leave to find out the house we're moving into pre-DClin has fallen through, and it's very likely we'll be moving *the same week I start* 🥲 THIS IS FINE.
