Following the HIFAMS questionnaire, here's another helpful exercise to understand how a child feels about school life - Drawing The Ideal School exercise. This is particularly helpful when understanding emotionally based school avoidance, how to aid any transition back to school

Hopefully more can be done to reduce waiting times for children/young people & ensure that the benefits of diagnosis occur; "Diagnosis can bring enlightenment, essential support and legal protection to help these children negotiate their way through life" https://t.co/BOzkKhhoN9

UK CHILDREN WAIT…16 months to 5 years for ADHD & autism screening. Experts said “inhumane” waits put a generation of neurodiverse children at risk of mental illness as they are “pushed to the back of a long queue” for child mental health services (Camhs).

There’s a lot on TV about #autism at the moment, including this powerful depiction in a recent advert by Vanish. Who has seen it? 🖐🏻 https://t.co/1RsISMgJgS

We regularly recommend the use of ‘Energy Accounting’ - considering what may ‘withdraw’ energy & what can help to ‘deposit’ energy. This is a really helpful concept to proactively manage fatigue & assist with regulation of emotion. Please let us know if you have used this before!

Looking forward to watching this on Tuesday. We definitely support anything that aims to increase people’s understanding of autism (and even better if this is coming directly from the autistic community!) 👍
We created this series to promote a wider understanding of what it's like to be autistic to a neurotypical audience , it's quite an emotional watch . It airs on the 14th Feb at 9pm on @BBCTwo and @BBCiPlayer . @Autism @OpenUniversity

Charlie Mackesy's brilliant animated Christmas film has lots of themes that are perfect for having a conversation with your child about things like kindness, fear, confidence and friendship.

Eek! Christmas on Sunday!🎅T.Atwood & M.Garnett compiled some "Tips and Reminders for Surviving Christmas..." which may be helpful? Definitely recommend considering 'socialising capacity' & proactively thinking about the routine/ways to replenish energy during the week/day itself

What is Interoception? We talk so much about this (and alexithymia) in our assessments and feedback. This image from YellowLadyBugs provides a useful graphic on the topic.
