Sadly, research has shown that it's more difficult to get diagnosed as a Black or Brown person. This doesn't mean there are fewer Black or Brown autistic people, but there are barriers due to our unequal society. Read more - bit.ly/AGNAIBG #Autism

OCD shares some traits with autism, but it also shares something else: the internalising of symptoms. Like autism, internalised OCD can change how it appears on the outside, making it more likely to be missed or misinterpreted. @OCDUKĀ  OCD ActionĀ  #OCDweek #OCDawareness

This quote from Luke BeardonĀ beautifully highlights the complexity of autism. The idea of assigning a "severity grade" doesn’t capture the true experience of being autistic. It’s not about levels, but understanding that the experience of autism is fluid & diverse. #Autism

Dysgraphia is associated with the ability to write. Luckily with modern technology & reasonable adjustments most people can manage well. It's unlikely that school will flag this so you may need to advocate for your young person to access adjustments. #DysgraphiaAwarenessMonth

Make it make sense! How can someone access support when they're expected to overcome the very barriers they need help with to access it?
