Each page of The Neurodiversity Reader gives me something to reflect on. Learning how we got here & seeing where we might get to if neurodiversity paradigm is embraced/embedded into practice, society, education. @milton_damian @susyridout @richardmills18 @MxOolong

Training in supporting suicidal clients vital for all therapists. But esp. autistic clients who are 7.55 x more at risk, autistic females are 3 x more at risk than non-autistic females & the average lifespan of autistic people is 54.@Therapists_C

@CromarLisa just a line to say how much I took from your presentation at the @bacp private practice conference. Feel armed to avoid the innate fear of working with Autistic clients in future. Will research and prepare further as a result. Really good stuff.

[lisa mcanish (formally Cromar) @LisaMcanish]
