Autistic people are systematically unemployed and underemployed. This often because of barriers and challenges that can easily be managed in a more neuroinclusive workplace. Sign up for the #NDEI this #AutismAcceptanceMonth
This #AutismAcceptanceDay we're calling on organisations to recognise the unique skills & abilities that neurodivergent people bring to the workplace. We urge them to take part in the NDEI & learn how to foster a neuroinlcusive workplace. Find out more: https://t.co/gJFZFGxHM8

Too often, employers miss neurodivergent talent. But with the right support, they bring valuable skills. Employers can take part in the #Neurodiversity Employers Index -NDEI® & learn how to become leaders of neuroinclusion in the workplace. Get started: https://t.co/EBGbKvZmVI

Hugely proud to have been part of the @Autistica team involved in the #BucklandReview. A key recommendation of the report is for companies to sign up the Neurodiversity Employers Index - NDEI
autistica.org.uk
The NDEI® is the only gold-standard evidence-based tool for neuroinclusion in the workplace for a thriving neurodiverse team.
Today I'll be publishing the #BucklandReview into Autism and Employment. This is an important moment, but there is still lots of work to be done to ensure that autistic people have the employment opportunities they deserve. @DWPgovuk @Autistica

One recommendation is the Autistica Neurodiversity Employers Index (NDEI®). A tool that can help organisations identify what they're doing well and what they need to improve to attract and retain neurodivergent talent. #NDEI #Neurodiversity

Yet another barrier for women to access HRT??
Offer counselling over HRT for menopause, GPs told - why should women be offered a treatment that does not improve all symptoms nor reduce risks of diseases? CBT may have a role but not to have instead of HRT which is an evidence based treatment

My thesis may have had my name alone on the cover, but the PhD took a village. 2 years to get here, but was great to catch up with some @PsyPAGAlumni. @NatashaDalton_ @jennyterry @ChrisLPsych. We missed @catherine_hitch and @E_T_Deehan. Top #PhD tip is find your support network
