It's #AutismAcceptanceWeek! The change from 'awareness week' is important because while more people know about autism, there is a huge lack of understanding.

For example, our YouGov poll shows that 39% of adults in Britain think autistic people lack empathy. (1/4)

This new paper discusses the experiences of #Autistic young people in secondary school and provides insight of the ‘sensory tactics’ developed by them to navigate neurotypical spaces following transition to secondary school.

We have published two new quick guides about occupational therapy and #LongCovid.

OTs can use these guides when working with adults, children & young people with Long Covid and managers when planning delivery of Long Covid services.

Little reminder for everyone (including myself) who works in healthcare. It’s still busy, it’s hectic & there’s still no end in sight. We continue to show up as our best selves for our patients. But we can’t keep this up without showing ourselves the same level of #kindness.

What a brilliant day! Really enjoyed the @MedicaCPD autism conference today. I have learnt lots, reflected a lot, been inspired and feel that I can take lots forward into my practice 😊 thank you to all involved for a great day! #autismconf21

So much to take away from this brilliant presentation by Tessa Morton on sensory behaviours and challenges at school. Applying this to autistic adults who have had these challenges all their lives and it has not been recognised until adulthood. #autismconf21

[Vicky @VickyJ_OT]

Wow what an amazing, thought provoking presentation by Helen Ellis on autism in girls. Really important themes throughout #autismconf21

Excellent positive presentation about employment and what employers can do to capitalise on the untapped autistic talent from Lee Corless .#Autismconf21

[Vicky @VickyJ_OT]

Autistic/neurodiverse people have so many amazing strengths to bring to the workplace. There needs to be earlier intervention to improve pathways and opportunities in employment. Brilliant informative and strengths focused presentation from Lee Corless #Autismconf21
