@anna_stenning @IARFestival @JoPavlopoulou Time flies! Good to reminisce about such a good event though.

[Dr Amanda Tink @amandatink]

@anna_stenning @IARFestival @JoPavlopoulou @milton_damian Still one of the most welcoming and informative conferences I have ever attended.

[IAR Festival 21 @IARFestival]

Fancy a new one in 2024? :) ? :)

[Dr Anna Stenning @anna_stenning]

I can't believe it's over a year since @IARFestival - @JoPavlopoulou @milton_damian

[IAR Festival 21 @IARFestival]

#IARF @autismage now reading out some attendees' emotional responses to the language used to describe autism:

"I need to take breaks when reading autism research because it makes me feel physically sick"

"What I read in my daughter's diagnostic reports
was crushing"

[Aimee @aimee_speaks]

What I love about #PARC2021, & other interdisciplinary/autistic-led conf's like @IARFestival & @autscape is that it does a lot to demonstrate the creativity of #ActuallyAutistic & #Neurodivergent folk. It is so refreshing to see challenges to historic narratives & medical models

[IAR Festival 21 @IARFestival]

In this talk, Anna Stenning will propose the need to consider why the project of ‘Decolonising the Future’ should extend to consider 'barriers to being' posed by Western psychology

[Dr Jo Billington @MsJoBillington]

Thanks to everyone for #PARC2021 today. It's good to leave an autism conference invigorated rather than emotionally drained by the dehumanisation of the people you love most in the world. Events like PARC & @IARFestival are changing the tide & that change can't come soon enough.

[Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou @JoPavlopoulou]

There is a number of people who believed in this and supported with kindness incl @UCLEngage @soundcube @wheeler_benny @Carol1ne17 Jesse, Danni @autismage @brionycampbell @anna_stenning @IARFestival and @scottishautism folks who hosted a webinar and an article on our project.

[GRRAND @grrand_team]

Our very own @KieranRose7 presented at national IPT-UK therapists' network on autistic masking and communication for over 300 members
It is great news that IPT community will be setting up an autism SIG soon.

@JodieSmitten @egstirling @milton_damian @Richard_Autism @drstevenkapp @DrAmyPearson @AnnMemmott @thewoodbug @CatrionaSScot Not specifically related to school but definitely relevant - @Sarah_NottsUni’s @IARFestival talk on the connection between the double empathy theory and mental health. Highly recommended.
