Do you agree and why?

Delighted to have been able to support and help facilitate @thrivingautistic.bsky.social 's Discovery Programme for Autistic adults with @gemkennedy.bsky.social & @neurostories.bsky.social - what an amazing journey to be a part of - let's hope we can continue soon!

Which autistic person do you most admire?

Are you the only member of your family diagnosed with autism or ADHD?

The journey to diagnosis. Where are you? #Autism Self-diagnosed? Diagnosed by a doctor? Un-diagnosed?

What one change in public policy would improve the lives of the autistic and autism communities?

I finally have a mailing list! If you'd like to subscribe for free I will send the occasional newsletter about upcoming events/ blogs and resources, please sign up on my website! autisticrealms.com

What first gave you the idea that you or a loved one might be autistic? Speech regression in our son's case.

The Kennedy Krieger Institute has made a game-changing discovery for autism diagnosis! 🚸 A study published in Pediatric Investigation shows that the RITA-T (Rapid Interactive Screening Test for Autism in Toddlers) is helping reduce diagnosis delays—especially for underserved communities.

April is Autism Awareness Month. Do you think it still has any value to the autism community?

The fundraising climate is hard right now. I volunteer with @stimpunks.org Please consider joining us and becoming a sponsor so we can continue to support the neurodivergent, disabled and other marginalised communities. Find out more: stimpunks.org/community/su...

This is a great article. The Double Empathy Problem and Monotropism, 2 important and poorly understood concepts for educators and those involved in the SEND system to be cognisant of. We need to be more neuroaffirming. The deficit model of Autism needs to go

This is a very positive start. Delighted to see the importance of technology, digital literacy and thinking about the future re AI

UK folks, are you concerned about the government's proposed changes in PIP, a disability payment? If so, how can it be challenged?

Lots of free neuro-affirming resources for families and professionals with a focus on supporting Autistic children with burnout, barriers to education and developing a better understanding of Monotropism (a strength-based theory of Autism) Find out more: autisticrealms.com #neurodiversity
