It’s the Neurodivergent peer Support Toolkit (NEST)’s first birthday!!
A year ago, we launched this free, co-designed, research informed tool to support mainstream secondary schools to establish peer support groups for neurodivergent young people.

What did we find?
1: Autistic and non-autistic groups shared the same amount of information as one another. Mixed groups also performed similarly.
2: People shared the same amount of information whether or not they knew they were in an autistic, non-autistic, or mixed group.

We tested how information was shared in three different types of groups – groups where everyone was autistic, groups where everyone was non-autistic, and groups where participants alternated between autistic and non-autistic.

In both studies, we used something called a diffusion chain. This is a bit like the game “telephone”. We had groups of participants and told one person in each group a story. They shared it with another person, who shared it with another person, and so on, across the whole group
