Great to be a finalist at the #LDAwards24 ceremony this evening!
Brilliant to know that Sara has been put forward for a national award.

Very pleased to announce that I am an #outstandingcontributionfinalist in the #nationalautismandlearningdisabilitiesawards2024 It's great that my work has been recognized. The judging is next week.
Last night @AutonomyASD celebrated 20 years of #selfhelpandsupport in Shrewsbury with a party of over 70 members and their families. An evening to remember!
Did you know there's a type of anxiety specific to autism that isn't explained by any of the anxiety disorders currently included the DSM? Researchers are referring to this type of anxiety as "Distinct anxiety" because it's distinct to autism and tied to autistic traits.
Our 20th party is tomorrow and we support local small businesses. Our @AutonomyASD #bluebutterfycakes were baked by Amanda's OwBis'tro on #DawleyHighStreet - very yummy.
Autism + ADHD in one brain = internalised chaos (the Autism wants routine and the ADHD wants spontaneity). Add to this external chaos (Hostile environments including people and policies) and you get extreme and debilitating demand avoidance. Then add to this complex post…
Pleased that some of our @AutonomyASD members have joined the Shropshire Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training team as autistic experts by experience. We look forward to hearing about how they have helped others to gain more understanding.
@AutonomyASD members are excited about our group's upcoming 20th anniversary/birthday party this April during a special time of year - Autism Acceptance Month.
Our first ever Autonomy social was on January 20th 2004. We are looking forward to 2024 which will be our 20th year of running social events in Shropshire and Telford!
Just had our Christmas Dinner Socials in Telford and Shrewsbury with 73 members and guests funded by a generous cheque. Phew! Our socials resume on January 1st 2024 with a bumper year ahead.
Looking forward to celebrating the Telford Autonomy group's 15th anniversary party. We have had two socials in Telford every month except in December and for 12 months during lockdowns so we have a lot to be celebrating!
Looking forward to celebrating - at #dawleytownhall - our Telford based @AutonomyASD social group's 15th birthday next month. #15yearsofautonomy.
@AutonomyASD is celebrating #WorldAutismAcceptanceWeek at #ingoodhandscommunitycafe watching our film made with @rockinghorsemedia
Many thanks to #theseverngorgepubtelford staff for hosting our @AutonomyASD #forwomen social this evening. See you again next month.
Many thanks to staff at #shrewsburyhollywoodbowl for our regular bimonthly @AutonomyASD #tenpinbowling session this evening. Looking forward to seeing you all on the second Tuesday in May.
Halfway through our second @AutonomyASD acting for filming workshop today with @RHMediaEnt and #henryhouse #Helpingraiseunderstandingofautism. Thanks Gareth!
We did the first @AutonomyASD acting for camera day with #rockinghorsemedia where we had real-life experience of a film set. Looking forward to tomorrow's session!
