The #Adult #Autism #Assessment clinic has expanded to include #ADHD assessment.  
They are so #Neuroaffirmative and positive about neurodivergent minds. Recognised by #HSE, #NHS and more. Interviews done online so open to people from anywhere, not just Ireland where they are based.

Today is launch-day for @niamhgarvey 's first published book, "Looking After Your #Autistic Self", a #NeuroAffirmative book for #ActuallyAutistic folks. She put a load of love into this book and has been looking forward to seeing it in the hands of others for months. If you've been looking for an "owner's guide" to an autistic brain for you or someone else, consider this one. :)

#Neuroaffirmative books to be donated to local school

My wish is that every child has the opportunity to see a character like them positively in a book

In my research practitioner capacity, I'm going to be doing some work with NHS employees in the coming months.

I'm talking with NHS leaders about burnout for autistic employees and how they can help themselves and be supported by their managers to reduce burnout.

I'll also be working on neuroaffirmative coach training for midwifery managers - from the point of view of what it's like to be an autistic coach and/or an autistic coachee (and how we make coaching work in light of that).

These are all topics that I care passionately about and it is a step in the right direction that something like the NHS is setting its sights on these topics.

Now comes the fun part of putting it all together and creating a great educational experience that really lands and influences hearts and minds on the ground.

Wish me luck!

🌟 Sleep support 🌟

Can anyone recommend any research and/or evidence-based practices to support better sleep in #Neurodivergent individuals (adults and children)?

What a lovely message from @stimpunks to those who think they might be #Autistic....

"If you are wondering whether you are Autistic, spend time amongst Autistic people, online and offline. If you notice you relate to these people much better than to others, if they make you feel safe, and if they understand you, you have arrived."

Take a look at their website and new post here:
