A new paper with @gregw1973 & Goldie McQuaid

No associations between age & sensory sensitivities in middle-aged & older autistic people. Suggesting sensory sensitivities are stable across lifespan. (NB cross-sectional study so not measuring change).

[Professor Rebecca Charlton @GoldAgeLabUK]

@gavrobstew @AutismAdulthood @AutisticMatters @WillClinPsy @HappeLab Some different results in a new paper https://t.co/qIkkPodixO Which did NOT find associations between age and sensory difficulties.
Note different sample, country, measures, etc.
A real need for more info about autistic older people and replication of results

[Professor Rebecca Charlton @GoldAgeLabUK]

@NDPerspective @gavrobstew @AutismAdulthood @AutisticMatters @WillClinPsy @HappeLab Agree - we really need longitudinal studies to understand how individuals change across the lifespan.

@NiDhubhda @gavrobstew @AutismAdulthood @AutisticMatters @WillClinPsy @HappeLab There's little research on autistic people's experience of menopause, but Rachel Moseley has done some excellent work. I've posted a link to a podcast below. (We've done a little work but not published yet).

Super important work to tackle ageism.

[Age Without Limits @agewithoutlimit]

Join the newest campaign from @Ageing_Better: Age Without Limits which aims to educate and tackle ageism in all its forms.

Ageism is the most widespread form of discrimination in the UK. We need to change the way we think about ageing.
