I love this!
“First Nations teachings inherently value Autistic people & recognise their gifts, so rather than autism being seen as a ‘disorder’ that is to be ‘cured’ or ‘fixed’, through our worldview there is an opportunity to fundamentally shift these spaces and ...be more inclusive & accepting.”

Research Reshare. Thriving Autistic Logo. Text: Global Indigenous perspectives on autism and autism research: Colonialism, cultural insights and ways forward. Bruno et al. (2025) This editorial brings together Indigenous and non- Indigenous, Autistic and non-Autistic researchers to share culturally grounded views on autism, challenging colonial models and calling for relational, Indigenous- led approaches to research and care. Research Reshare. Thriving Autistic Logo. Text reads: Global Indigenous perspectives on autism and autism research: Colonialism, cultural insights and ways forward. Bruno et al. (2025) "First Nations teachings inherently value Autistic people and recognise their gifts, so rather than autism being seen as a 'disorder' that is to be 'cured' or 'fixed', through our worldview there is an opportunity to fundamentally shift these spaces and for research to be more inclusive and accepting." Research Reshare. Thriving Autistic Logo. Text reads: Global Indigenous perspectives on autism and autism research: Colonialism, cultural insights and ways forward. Bruno et al. (2025) "Traditionally, there was no specific Mãori term for autism, likely because conditions such as autism were viewed as a natural part of life prior to the introduction of Western concepts of health and disability." (Jones et al., 2024). Research Reshare. Thriving Autistic Logo. Text reads: Global Indigenous perspectives on autism and autism research: Colonialism, cultural insights and ways forward. Bruno et al. (2025) Five Principles for Autism Research with, by, and for Indigenous Peoples: 1. Labelling and Diagnosis - Be cautious of diagnostic labels rooted in deficit models; prioritise culturally safe, holistic understandings of identity. 2. Indigenous-led and Culturally Rooted - Ensure research is guided by Indigenous leadership, language, and worldviews. 3. Relationality - Prioritise relationships over results. Honour reciprocity, community connection, and ongoing care. 4. Challenge Anti- Indigenous Ableism - Address the colonial roots of ableism and centre strengths-based, non- pathologising perspectives. 5. Ownership and Capacity - Support Indigenous ownership of research processes and outcomes. Build capacity through collaboration, mentorship, and self-determination.

Experts say 'the characteristics of good pedagogy for children with SEND aren’t all that different from good pedagogy, full stop'. So, if that’s the case, why isn’t everyone already doing it?

Here, we investigate the four key issues that could be holding inclusive practice back ⬇️
4 barriers to inclusive practice – and how to overcome them
