Very important piece of research if you are a UK-based Autistic mother and have experienced burnout.

[Noah Sasson @Noahsasson]

One important implication we mention in the paper:

“Clinicians, educators, and other professionals encouraging, instilling, or training non-autistic social value systems should consider whether routes to social well-being may differ for autistic people”

[Mary Doherty 🏳️‍🌈 @AutisticDoctor]

For everyone, but especially medical colleagues:
you can’t be “diagnosed with a neurodiversity”

That’s just not how it works. See thread 👇

“The goal should not be to reduce Tribunal appeals per se. Instead, the focus should be on identifying how LA decision-making can be improved, to achieve decisions which more frequently comply with the law.” It can’t happen soon enough.
