It’s disgraceful that one of the biggest streaming services in the world, with an audience of hundreds of millions of people, has given a platform to a show that casually promotes dodgy and untested science about autism. @netflix should take this down immediately. (1/4)
We will challenge stereotypes, stigma and misinformation about autism wherever we see it, so we can create a society that works for autistic people. For accurate information about autism, visit our website autism.org.uk. (4/4)
Some people have messaged us about a programme launching on @netflix tomorrow called Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut. They’re worried about its claims. We’ve watched the trailer and, to be honest, we’re really worried too. Here’s why: 🧵(1/5)

Proud to have contributed to this report outlining the much needed support autistic children and young people need and often don’t get or wait far too long for… @ChildoftheNort1 n8research.org.uk/child-of-the-n…
The first report sets out a new plan to support #autisticchildren, revealing a crisis in children’s #autism assessment, warning that thousands of autistic children and young people are waiting months – or years - for support. Read in full: tinyurl.com/2f9ff797
I had a lovely email from a student this week thanking me for supporting her with her studies. She attached this photo of when I brought Monty along to a lecture I gave about neuroscientific explanations of ADHD. @montypontyparker looks like he’s paying attention beautifully 🥰
Our M.Phil./Ph.D. studentship: Pain education and its effects on rehabilitation outcomes in the military is now live and open until 24th August. A fantastic opportunity to work with DMRC Stanford Hall. derby.ac.uk/research/degre… Please RT

Day 30 part 3 of 3:Its your responsibility to educate yourself & not judge.If unsure, ask us. It beats awkwardness and uneducated assumptions. Let’s work together to debunk the myths, learn about, & celebrate autism! #autismawarenessmonth #educatedontdiscriminate #neurodiversity
Day 30 part 2 of 3: Not everyone who is autistic is some kind of genius with these elite type abilities. But! Lots of us have special interests. Mine might be dogs..🤣🤣🤣 #autismawarenessmonth #autism #neurodiversity #specialinterest
Day 30 part 1 of 3: Again, try not to judge. It can be harmful to get it wrong. #autismawarenessmonth #autism #neurodiversity
Day 29: Please take time to read. Having people understand your autism can help reduce stigma & harmful comments like saying an autistic person is ‘weird’, ‘awkward’ or ‘rude’. Stigma doesn’t help anyone. #autismawarenessmonth #reducestigma #autism #neurodiversity
Day 28: A few ideas of how to soothe an autistic child 🙂 #autismawarenessmonth #autism #neurodiversity
Day27:We’ve seen the child that’s being noisy, & a stressed out parent. Next time don’t judge. It could be an autistic child struggling. It doesn’t hurt to be kind but disapproving looks & harsh comments are harmful. #autismawarenessmonth #neurodiversity #supportdontjudge
Day 26: Autistic people can experience a meltdown when they are overwhelmed. Here are the differences between a tantrum and a meltdown! #autismawarenessmonth #autism #meltdown #asd #Neurodiversity

Lily Lucas, 28, died after being found unresponsive whilst an NHS inpatient at a privately run Cygnet Hospital in September 2022. Now an inquest has found widespread failings in the care provided to Lily and that neglect contributed to her death. inquest.org.uk/lillian-lucas-…
Some people have messaged us about a programme launching on @netflix tomorrow called Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut. They’re worried about its claims. We’ve watched the trailer and, to be honest, we’re really worried too. Here’s why: 🧵(1/5)
The advert clearly says: “Diseases like… autism… are all related to the gut.” Autism is a lifelong disability. Words like “disease” suggest something is wrong with someone and it can be cured. That’s just not appropriate when talking about autistic people. (2/5)
In recent weeks we’ve seen several phony and harmful science claims about autism, and we’re worried this could be the latest. The trailer itself is concerning. We’ll be watching closely to check @netflix isn’t spreading misinformation about autism to millions of people. (3/5)
We wanted to be able to communicate clearer information with you before the programme airs, so we wrote to @netflix last week to ask them if we could see the show early. We didn’t hear back. So we wanted to be upfront with our supporters about our concerns. (4/5)
We won’t ever be shy about calling out fake news about autism. We’ll fight stereotypes and stigma wherever we see them, to create a society that works for autistic people. (5/5)
