One way to be Autistic and Living the Dream is to have your first first-authored paper published (in the top autism journal @AutismAdulthood) on Autism Acceptance Day! Congratulations, @social_parasite, and important research on autistic adults' experiences w/ substance services.

New original research! I’m delighted to share my (open access, Autistic-led, coproduced) paper with you about auditory environments and how they influence the link between #ActuallyAutistic traits and quality of life, due to sound sensitivity. https://t.co/rAXy4FRhah

Overdiagnosis? Seems timely to reshare...

In CAMHS, little evidence of overdiagnosis of emotional disorders, rather the opposite - many children and young people with diagnosable mental health disorders not receiving a clinical diagnosis or timely help.

Autistic vs non-autistic adults did not differ "on general lie frequency, which medium they used or who they lied to"? https://t.co/SBmyb7B0RJ but autistics reported "more guilt, feeling less confidence in their likelihood of being believed and increased difficulty when lying"

60 years ago, a group of brave civil rights organizers marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama in the pursuit of justice and equality. Today we’re reminded of their courageous sacrifices, and tasked with the responsibility of doing what we can to carry forward their work.

@alexburns Yes it was a pretty innovative title when it released (and I believe is one of the top selling games of all time?)

[Steven Kapp @drstevenkapp]

Good to welcome @hattdesigns Sarah Timperley and Jessica Riordan to @UoP_CIDD @portsmouthuni to learn about the exciting findings of the @UniMelb Neurodiversity Project. On Valentine’s Day good to show love for neurodivergent students and staff (see
