Naturally, it’s an anxious time for pupils & their families. While the government has designated that pupils with SEND should receive additional prep for school transition, there's no national framework. Our tips for a smoother, happier transition - bit.ly/AGNschooltrans…
We're launching the Neurodivergent Peer Support Toolkit (NEST) this summer! ☀️ This is a suite of free resources co-designed with neurodivergent young people & adults to help mainstream secondary schools establish a peer support group for neurodivergent students🌈

Really great video highlighting how life can be after school for Autistic adults. I hated school, dropped out of 6th form and college. Now 30yo I'm a few months away from qualifying as a registered nurse and have great family and friends around me. Young me wouldn't believe it.

For the longest time, camouflaging research was a SpIn for me (I even applied for a PhD project to explore it), but I quickly saw just how over-represented people who look like me and have the same white privilege as me were. Unmasking is universally easy or safe.
👇 "lack of diversity within camouflaging literature has amplified the voices of White autistic women, while marginalizing women of color...unmasking is a privilege for White autistic women, but not for autistic women with intersecting identities." liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.108…
Really great video highlighting how life can be after school for Autistic adults. I hated school, dropped out of 6th form and college. Now 30yo I'm a few months away from qualifying as a registered nurse and have great family and friends around me. Young me wouldn't believe it.

one of the most hurtful things of learning i am autistic is just how long i spent my life blindly trusting people. thinking that if someone was nice to me that they liked me. and i could trust them. and be open with them. sometimes i cry thinking of that girl who naively
So today I had an phone consultation for my PIP assessment, the assessor asked me "what level of autism do you have?". I was absolutely floored, and then after a pause I went on to educate her and inform her that the language she uses is outdated and damaging.
Took part in this podcast: "Why are so many disabled people in mental health hospitals when they don’t need to be?"
New podcast incoming! Why are so many disabled people in mental health hospitals when they don’t need to be? What changes to PIP is the PM proposing? Plus, we chat to the most influential disabled person in the UK, Shani Dhanda! Listen now! bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…
testing something out: re interrupting people and ADHD, is it true that sometimes ADHDers just get the point quicker -- and so are being asked to wait extra long for everyone else to get it too (which is hard when you have a low boredom threshold)?
Why is it so important for 11-16 year olds to dress in a strictly enforced uniform in order to be educated, and then totally unimportant for 16-23 year olds to do the same? If it’s about preparing for work, why is that only important when they are younger?
In this lovely film, autistic adults explain how their difficult experiences of school haven’t held them back or defined them youtu.be/SnqSSA573Lk?si…
