Swipe to read Jess's message to the community. Yellow arrow points right.Dear AutAngel Members, I wanted to write to you all to let you know that at the end of March I will be leaving AutAngel. I am moving back to Derbyshire to be closer to my family after my lovely little niece was born. I am looking forward to the future, but will miss the AutAngel community very much. I am so grateful for the positive experiences I have had here and would like to thank you all for your insightful, interesting and humorous conversations. I love how deep our autistic minds are and have learnt so much from my time here. I wish all the best for the AutAngel community going forward. Take care everyone, Jess

🚨 Adults over 25 are being cut off from ADHD assessments in Coventry & Warwickshire. This isn't just bad policy—it's systemic abandonment. Read why this matters, and why we must resist: www.davidgrayhammond.co.uk/p/abandoned-... #NeurodivergentRights #ADHD #AuDHD #NHS #ActuallyAutistic

“Neurodivergent people are more likely to have experienced trauma, including chronic invalidation, that can have a lasting impact. This is why it is vital to be trauma-informed while also being neurodiversity affirming.” From The Chronically Resilient OT: www.chronicresilienceot.com/blog/neurodi...

Neurodiversity Affirming Practice for Mental Health — Chronic Resilience

An overview of neurodiversity affirming practice for mental health, what this means, what this looks like and some resources for continued learning and reflection.

Met today with the "Partner & Community Liaison Coordinator" at John Lewis Reading and she was very supportive and offered us the opportunity to have a stand in the shop for a day, so you might see us there.

AutAngel CIC@autangel.bsky.social · last yr.

great thread from @annmemmott.bsky.social who was mentioned in our staff meeting today for her amazing ability to cover #autism research.

Ann Memmott@annmemmott.bsky.social · last yr.

acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Fabulous new research by this team, looking at what on earth is being measured when teams say they want to stop 'problem behaviour' in autistic young people using Early Interventions (ABA, NDBI, etc etc). I'll discuss very briefly here../

We are recommeding this talk to our members. It is wonderful to see someone combining authenticity, integrity and professionalism with being openly autistic. Moving and inspiring.

Mary Doherty@autisticdoctor.bsky.social · 2y ago

Autistic kids need opportunities to grow up confidently autistic, not steeped in shame. This shame is imposed on us by societal messages that we're broken & defective - as autistic adults, we need to discuss it openly, so we can choose to find a pathway out of shame www.linkedin.com/posts/mary-d...

There has been a lot of publicity about The Age of Diagnosis by Suzanne O'Sullivan, she argues that there is over-diagnosis of autism. I think there is over-medicalisation which is what is driving diagnosis where identification should suffice.

AutAngel CIC@autangel.bsky.social · 2y ago
