Be kind to yourself

Thanks Ayo for raising awareness about autism in Autism Awareness Week. So helpful to bust myths about autism so effectively. Everyone should have time to watch your excellent 1 min video to educate themselves and hopefully share it to promote inclusion https://youtu.be/qd3zohkGb3A

Hi Sienna. Great to read this interview with you in New Scientist about your book “The Spectrum Girl’s Survival Guide” and why you created Neurodiversity Celebration Week. Well done on all you do to raise awareness of autism particularly in girls and women https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24532721-700-autism-isnt-a-defect-heres-why-we-should-embrace-neurodiversity/

.@a_romanu @FEMatthewsStats @sbaroncohen @ARC_Cambridge explore English #autism prevalence. Children from minority ethnic groups are more likely to have an autism diagnosis. Significant regional & sex differences exist in England in provision of services https://ja.ma/3fpZGsK

One in 57 children in the UK is on the autistic spectrum, higher than previously reported, says @a_romanu @ARC_Cambridge.

The study found differences in #autism prevalence between ethnic groups.

Over 50% of autistic people struggle with anxiety. This #AutismAwarenessMonth we're exploring how research can change that. Visit our Anxiety Hub, to learn more about anxiety and the latest #AnxietyBreakthroughs. https://www.autistica.org.uk/what-is-autism/anxiety-and-autism-hub

It's world autism week which gives me an excuse to wheel out this piece I wrote for the Guardian two years ago on raising a happy autistic kid. I wrote it around the launch of my book and it's aged pretty well, I think https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/mar/24/the-secret-to-raising-happy-autistic-child
