If you are the parent of an #autistic child and would like to help to shape #research please contact Mariana.

You don’t need to be an expert in anything except your experience of being a parent of an autistic child!

Your views will help to make our research relevant and family-friendly.

@nationalrail.bsky.social @greateranglia.bsky.social drone flying over the tracks filming people entering and leaving the station at #Stowmarket feels like an intrusion of privacy. Is it allowed?

It would have been interesting to have heard more about this result - different autistic profiles respond differently to intervention.

Michael Lombardo talking about changes in #autistic related terminology over time #EDAI2025

Need to consider development, disability and difference because #autism is so broad and there are many different types of people.

So this is an interesting book.

Is it beautifully crafted
language? ✅

Did I enjoy reading it? ✅

Will it stay with me? ✅

Is it quite annoying and a little disappointing when half way you realise there is no plot and there second half is even more description of being in space ✅
