[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

Autistic people-pleasing is often a trauma response that is used (subconsciously) to attain basic social acceptance. It can cause emotional turmoil when it leaves you feeling compelled to satisfy conflicting demands - especially when you don’t have the energy to meet any of them.

Paging neurodivergent academics and PhD students! My student is researching mentoring/support for neurodivergent academics and PGRs. Limited academic literature and wants to look at blogs and other pieces by neurodivergent academics/PGRs - can you recommend? #Neurodiversity

Important to educate yourself and others on how to avoid ableism. What are some of the micro-aggressions you have faced?

[DSN London @Disability_LSU]

Here are some examples of ableism:

[DSN London @Disability_LSU]

Ableism is so common in day-to-day life, and often, individuals don’t know that they are being ableist. However, ableism can have a massive negative impact on the disabled community; meaning educating yourself on what it is is so important.
