Updating CV for potential new role & realising the first time I ever said β€œI am autistic” to a group of medical professionals was April 2019. How many hundreds, if not thousands, since then?. #NeurodiversityInMedicine .3 yrs from taboo to hot topic. #AutismAcceptanceMonth.

I've been told that #neurodiversity advocates don't understand or don't care about the needs of autistic people with the highest support needs, or their families. Now I know that is not true, but what groups, research projects or initiatives are out there to refute that claim?.

If the #autistic professional community is saying the traditional approach to #autism is wrong – and we are – is it time to take a fresh look at autistic phenomenology and our approach to diagnosis?.

Delighted to speak at this @RCoANews College Tutors meeting, and to see the supports offered to ND trainees & colleagues. Thrilled to chat to so many senior anaesthetists who are openly wondering if they might be neurodivergent. Such a huge change in a few short years 😎.
