In this โWhen I sayโฆโ article, the authors argue for a philosophical transformation in how medical education values different ways of thinking and learning: the neurodiversity paradigm.

Today, I had the pleasure of speaking at this @rcpsych event on behalf of @DoctorsDistress My take home points - The power of humanity & connection - You are not alone - It's OK to ask for help - Neurodivergence, disability, difference... Let's celebrate it not shame it.

@HelenBevan @anna_rebowska Absolutely agree. It was @dora_raymaker who introduced me to this concept & the work of Donella Meadows. It made me realise how & why weโve had such an impact in @DoctorsAutistic - we are operating at the level of changing paradigms

If you read one thing tonight, let it be this. An amazing interview with @AutisticDoctor Stigma, fear, shame & prejudice stop autistic drs from being their authentic selves at work. This has to stop. Read and reflect.... @jessiehewitson
I interviewed the wonderful @AutisticDoctor on how autistic doctors aren't declaring their diagnoses at work, for fear of consequences if they do, and why autistic people are dying far too early.
