Poster presentation from my postdoc with @cmanning.bsky.social went well, thank you to everyone who came along to chat! Feeling very sleepy for the final day of #insar2025

Learning about autism in a neutral & non-stigmatizing manner, and through the lens of autistic lived experience, benefits autistic children’s self-understanding, emergent autistic identity, sense of belonging, and their communication/self-advocacy skills.

Oh my how awful for you! Hopefully changing your password sorts it out! Have a lovely day :)

Hi Allen, I missed this amongst all the notifications as everyone was moving over here! I’m not sure what you mean by this? I’m autistic and I helped shape this call :)

Hi! The call closed in November last year, and the outcome is not yet available

Made it to Seattle for #INSAR2025 !

Two new NIHR funding calls announced today. To test behavioural interventions to treat anxiety disorders in children and young people, and adults with moderate to severe learning disability (including autistic and non-autistic). 2-stage process, stage 1 deadline 30/07. Links in comments.

Hope you’re feeling better!

I’m aware of that. I was replying to the comment that NHS England isn’t being abolished, although it is, and being reabsorbed by DHSC. There are many overlapping functions that will be easy to identify and cut, but many that after 13 years of separation no longer have direct duplications.

It hasn’t yet but the plan is for it to be merged with DHSC within two years, so that all functions are owned by DHSC and NHS England does not exist.

Congratulations!!!

Very happy to say that my team have played a part in influencing NIHR to put out this call to fund a clinical trial of a high-intensity NHS talking therapy protocol adapted for autistic adults www.nihr.ac.uk/funding/2487...

Today in autistic people saying "I told you so": Nearly 90% of researchers who develop robots for autistic people **didn’t bother to ask autistic people if they need the technologies**, per UCSD autistic researcher Naba Rizvi:
