Please read and share @thrivingautistic.bsky.social 's new solidarity statement. We support all Autistic people, including those who are trans, non-binary, racialised, and multiply marginalised. We have new signposting and advocacy resources on our website. www.thrivingautistic.org/solidarity/

‘There is a need for a more neuro-inclusive and personalised approach in CAMHS. Further research, funding and training are urgently needed to ensure support is accessible, timely and effective for autistic young people’ 👏👏

“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” ― Mark Twain

(... which is more than Reform, by the way)

SEND is 'lose, lose, lose,' unless you're in line for some of these tasty £750pd & £900pd contracts with DfE Local government experience mandatory, experience of delivering SEND provision not required www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/31286...

Affirming research and an excellent, readable summary re the sensory impact of secondary school #attendance on #autistic students. Congratulations to everyone who contributed 👏👏

Timely suggestions for exam season 🙏

Life-threatening restraints are still allowed in England’s schools. What is allowed for "good order and discipline" leaves disabled children in danger. There is no real safety net — only risk. #AgainstRestraint

Important UK research re School Distress (‘refusal’): “people who have not experienced parenting #neurodivergent CYP may be less able to appreciate the more foundational difficulties [they] experience at school”. Excellent quant and qual data in thread & links 📊✨🙏 #doubleempathyproblem

I can’t put this book down! Highly recommended!
