I'm delighted to share the Hannah Viner et al.'s new Quality of Life for Autistic Adults (QoL-AA) assessment tool, which is available for free until 4th July via this link: https://t.co/vWyxpjuYcD. This tool highlights autism-specific domains not captured by existing QoL measures

Really disappointed with the new labour government. Schools are already on their knees, having made budget cut after budget cut, year after year. This will have, and is having, a direct impact on the quality children’s education #InvestInEducation#ValueEducation
This is absolutely unacceptable. School budgets are stretched to breaking after 14 years of cuts. This will damage children's education. #PayUp#ValueEducation#InvestInEducation

“I have seen men survive diseases that women do not because of the care that women caregivers provide to their male partner when they are sick-I have only seen that happen once or twice for a female patient being taken care of by a man when she is sick.”
My jaw is on the floor.
Reasonable adjustments are so important for creating an environment to thrive in for people with autism - so many great tips and ideas here from @AutisticGirls_
If you’re employed in a school give this a read!
