Taking a well earned break ☀️🌊🍹

Really enjoyed being part of this project.

There are some articles in the news today about research that claims autism can be ‘reversed’. This is deeply insulting to the more than 700,000 autistic people in the UK. We are completely baffled why this has even been published by UK papers. This is a case study of a single

Very pleased to publish my first, first authored article with Autism Journal journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13… @PRNTUOS Anti-Ableist Research Cultures #AutisticsInAcademia

The system needs to do better at listening, understanding and treating people as individuals. I don’t know any parent who would disagree with everything said here!

Very excited that my book 'The Autistic Postgraduate Woman: Navigating the Neurotypical University' is now available for pre-order from Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd.

Thank you again to everyone who has helped so far, we are SO close to hitting the recruitment target now! We only need ~10 more autistic adults to complete the online survey. Please consider sharing or taking part in the research 🤞 tinyurl.com/58xrseta (or scan QR)

It's Publication Day! 🥳

🚨Emine Gurbuz (she/her), Beatriz Lopez, Lauren Marsh & I are recruiting UK autistic undergraduate & taught master's students to participate in a study about their support needs at uni. See Emine's talk below for more info; email her if you wish to participate: [email protected]

The footage uncovered by the BBC in their short documentary is heartbreaking, but not shocking. It is something my family have personal experience of. Schools are traumatising autistic young people. Systemic change is desperately needed.

Yesterday we had our annual visit from Santa and the mini fire engine. It means so much for our players to see Santa in an inclusive environment. Thank you The Mini Fire engine

I will be at #INSAR2025 presenting some of my PhD work, Can the Double Empathy Problem be Mitigated by Interacting Online?: a Direct Comparison of Online and In-Person Interactions. Happy to meet and discuss this with anyone interested or doing similar research.

Excited to be in Seattle for the start of #INSAR2025 today. Looking forward to giving an oral presentation tomorrow: ‘Can the Double Empathy Program be mitigated by interacting online’.

I have reflected on my experience at #insar2025. I was privileged to be able to present my work on DEP. Had some insightful conversations. But was disparaged by the language, focus on ABA and cures. As researchers we need to remember the numbers we present relate to people.

Huge congratulations to our adults team who today retained the Rudkin Cup. Looking forward to seeing them play in the first disability county cup final later this month.

One of the many reasons I drag myself out of bed on a Saturday morning come rain or shine. Let’s go Foxes!

Unbelievably proud of these guys Peter Higgins (conkers)

Yesterday our teams took part in the leagues final Menphys cup! Congratulations to our minis who won both the Menphys cup and Menphys Respect Cup and our juniors who won the Menphys Respect Cup. Congratulations to all of our players on another great season!
