5/5 @DivergentSLT @WFarahslt @ian_cushing @vishinair5 with sincere thanks to @KimMears1 for sharing 💜 Real food for thought here for so much of what we do as Speech and Language Therapists, and a framework for asking the questions to help our profession engage with this journey
Wore this from @inrainbowsirl My daughter asked me why I was wearing a trans T-shirt at an Autistic conference I explained when we have a platform it is a privilege we don’t waste on ourselves- we use it to elevate the more marginalised in our community
3/4 Experience sensitive approach @ElaineMcgreevy @DivergentSLT @JoPavlopoulou @AT_Autism @AQuinnUnbroken drive.google.com/file/d/1jdjd5_… & journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…
1/4 Time is all too often a commodity in health, education & care; all too infrequently a medium in which to mutually explore, listen to & respect human experiences. Time is not just something to be counted; spending the amount of time with each person that they need counts more.
I got my late in life #autism diagnosis after a very challenging #perimenopause. For the last 2.5 years I’ve been researching #Autistic experiences of #menopause with @AutMenopause and I’m delighted that our first paper has been published by @journalautism journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…
Avoid, avoid, behaviorism alert. Look beyond the titled author and you see someone with privilege dictating behaviour expectations, advocating praise and punishment, bullying to do what another deems is best. This is ABA in all but name.

1/12 A setting can/ cannot 'Meet need'. Such a cold phrase, conjuring up privileged people, not attempting to 'know, love, care for' a person, but instead discarding & excluding them. Worse, this a one-sided decision, where lived experience voices are all too often excluded.
There are more tickets available for my book launch here if you'd like to come and haven't booked: Sarah Lucas, @DrJamesMcGrath and @aryathampuran (thanks to @aryaray08 for this) eventbrite.co.uk/e/autism-ident…
Let’s make no mistake… People ARE being held inappropriately and to suggest otherwise is disingenuous and causes further harm to those already suffering brutality

Huh. Okay, now I'm curious. Non-ND folks, how do you respond to this question and what are your expectations when asking it? If you ask me this, I'm going to reel off my main plans for the day! And if I ask, it's because I'm genuinely interested in knowing yours.

For Hari we can't just have acceptance or inclusion we need to move towards belonging, rather than simply existing in the same space as each other we need to be able to belong together.
You are both fantastic - thank you @davidabbottbris and @Dawn26467771

My heart today is with Dawn. We believe in homes- not hospitals for neurodivergent people.

97% of children excluded at primary school had a special educational need or disability. NINETY SEVEN PERCENT. The number of under 6 year old’s excluded is staggering. This has long lasting damage on a child’s educational journey. These statistics are not ok.

sunak claims that "people are not three times sicker than they were a decade ago". but why not? why wouldn't many more people be more ill or disabled following a decade of worsening living conditions, lower wages, and austerity?
'If you're feeling depressed...It doesn't mean that we should assume you can't work.' PM Rishi Sunak outlines his five key welfare reforms. 'The first is that we should be more ambitious in assessing people's potential for work' trib.al/h9GAtkH 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube
Had a really busy few days! Lots of time with the boyfriend & some other friends. We watched the entire fallout TV show (it’s brilliant!) and also the new chicken run movie :) Back to nerdy stuff today. Trying to get some stuff done ready for next weeks @ERMILTD get together :)
@CommonSenseSLT @autisticrealms @stimpunks @DivergentSLT @HollytheOT @emgntdivergence @thinkingautism @ItsEmilyKaty @BryonyShannon @GrOve_Org @NotFineinSchool @teamsquarepeg @IPSEAcharity @DrChrisMooreEP @MrTs_NQTs @Mr_Minchin @TeachingChap @75ThunderRoad @educationgovuk @WeAHPs Thank you Lisa, powerfully put. It's the meeting in the middle, the bit where we acknowledge we don't know, but are in a space that encourages 'let's walk together and find out'. Human and curious, first #FlipTheNarrative 💜
@JB_MomaBear @DivergentSLT Although that being said, I do wish people would just come right out and directly ask if I'm free to do whatever, rather than couching it in unnecessary layers of questions with hidden meanings 😅
Whaaaaat the £$%&?
So now my state is requiring diagnosed autistic people to do the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Analysis testing every year in my state.
Huh. Okay, now I'm curious. Non-ND folks, how do you respond to this question and what are your expectations when asking it? If you ask me this, I'm going to reel off my main plans for the day! And if I ask, it's because I'm genuinely interested in knowing yours.
I’m sorry but I’m 35 and I just learnt that when someone asks what your plans for today/ tomorrow are you’re not supposed to list your whole day?? How are ND people seen as having communication problems when the NTs are just out there asking things they don’t want answered?
#AllPlayIsOk Key principles from @egstirling for understanding, accepting, and promoting #AutisticPlay.
By special request I'm sharing my 'top tips' from the presentation I did on #AutisticPlay and #AllPlayIsOk at #IPAGlasgow2023 today. Please, if you're sharing it, could you tag me and use the suggested hashtags 🫶
The way that black girls are viewed causes harm, they are viewed as needing less simply because of the colour of their skin rather than the reality of their life experiences.
Onto @hari who started of his talk using his spoken voice and is now speaking using his AAC voice. A multi-awarded PhD student who is scene setting why language is important, particularly within the history of disability and how people have been discriminated against.
This is extremely worrying. Important for those working with children and families to be aware of. Thank you @Jess_Warren_ @BBCNews for reporting on it. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38619780/ Also new, research reminding us how many autistic children have digestive (gastrointestinal) difficulties causing pain and distress - but teams are busy describing that distress behaviour as a symptom of autism. Or force feeding them. Let's do better.
Hey everyone I am reaching out to see if any of the autistic/autism community would be interested in speaking on our podcast ne-as.org.uk/podcast. If you would be could you send me an initial email @kerrie[email protected] and I will send lots more details Thanks

Really looking forward to this talk at @RCSI_Irl tomorrow. So much to say, so much to share. The key question is how do we meet the healthcare needs of the Irish autistic community?? And that includes the needs of autistic healthcare professionals in 🇮🇪
We are excited for our event w @AutisticDoctor next Thurs 18 April at 3pm. Students & staff can join in person (Albert LT) or online (MS Teams) to learn about neuroaffirmative care & experiences of autistic healthcare practitioners. Please sign up here: forms.office.com/e/3qzypmfn3H
Thrilled to announce that my first PhD student as Director of Studies just passed her viva pending corrections. Congratulations Dr Elmarakbi 🥳
Really enjoying exploring another side of speech and language therapy. Working with the voice and upper respiratory conditions. I do face to face sessions in edinburgh and online anywhere! 🎤
This is how I do talks. The slides are a prompt to remind me which stories to tell. It’s part of why my slides don’t work well for people who missed the talk.
Apparently a thing some people routinely do is make a bunch of slides and then just roughly remember what they were going to say in response to each slide without speaker notes, I cannot imagine being able to do that.
