Top tip for NTs: If an autistic person tells you the language you're using is considered offensive you should apologise, learn more about why this matters and update your language*
You should NOT say "but I know an autistic person who uses this term so I'm going to keep using it"
#ActuallyAutistic#AskingAutistics
Looking to recruit a few more autistic women in our sex-positive study about autism, sexuality and relationships. If you are interested, please get in touch asap, focus groups start this Friday!
If the parent of someone in an ATU believes their son or daughter needs an autism assessment, how can they make that happen?
Especially when the hospital is refusing to do so…which of course keeps their patient away from CTRs and S&W reviews?

#OpenAccess but you do need to register with the Lancet first. #GlobalAutism#LongRead There is also a webinar if you only have a couple of hours to spare.

I'm seeing something happen and I wonder how common it is: Students at a masters level wanting to do research on something autism related are told by their supervisors to focus on parent perspectives.
BAD AUTISM STUDY
Thank you for your interest in our Bad Autism Study. This study is based on previous bad autism studies, but with some enhancements and extra questions to make it worse. If you're a veteran participant in bad autism studies, you'll recognise some old questions.
If everyone who has been grateful for NHS staff over the last two years followed and retweeted, we would reach a million in no time.
It will only take a few seconds, and your support would really mean a lot to a huge number of people who continue to fight Covid-19.
