We are huge fans of the team at @Spectrum0Gaming. Commissioners please take note: the value of autistic yp belonging to a community based around a shared interest cannot be underestimated. £££’s in MH and other support can be saved by investing in this kind of enterprise

This is going to be a legendary session, especially if you are interested in thinking about neurodivergence from a Global South perspective !!!

I treat Indigenous trauma. These are clients who were abused in missions. Had families torn apart due to policies of assimilation and will never know their history because of it. To now have a political narrative of assimilation being aspirational is too dangerous not to…
SLT in MH. This should be not be about 'testing'/'assessing'. It should be about listening to lived experiences, supporting others to listen, championing individual's voices, bringing equity to interactions & the tools needed to support this, including the environment @RCSLTLearn
I felt this in my soul. When I was taken into care, at the age of 1, I was separated from my brothers and moved from Toxteth - a diverse area of Liverpool - to Halewood - a part of Knowsley that was more than 99% white, a place where I was chased, beaten, and taunted for being…

Publication Alert I am thrilled to announce the release of my latest publication, Indigenous Autism in Canada: A Scoping Review in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. You can find the open access article here link.springer.com/article/10.100…
A whole raft of evidence to say environments matter. Have you ever read any critical autism literature? I'd suggest starting with @SheffieldLuke @milton_damian @JoPavlopoulou @DrRuthMoyse @KieranRose7 @DrAmyPearson or watch this video youtu.be/KSKvazfTLv8
I am an indigenous SLT & contract as a court-appointed communication assistant. I can not find any research on CA or intermediary kaupapa from an indigenous perspective. Can't have equity without indigenous matauranga & kawanatanga. Action is needed.
Autistic nonspeaking children are routinely denied appropriate AAC in the UK. The @RCSLT autism guidelines update is an opportunity to start putting this right. Our local NHS AAC lead has stopped PECS in our area and insisted every child has access to the alphabet.

@RCSLT Autism Guidance for SLTs, so far, continues to recommend #PECS for #Autistic children/adults. We expressed our concerns about that in our open letter. Please read ⬇️and comment at the bottom of the letter. 1/11

“I don’t bring my neurodivergence into the workplace, because Black and ethnic-minority people are often judged as not having the same level of competence as their white counterparts... it’s for fear of having anything further weaponised against me”. theguardian.com/society/2023/j…
Stammering Pride is a wave beginning to crest. Join us on Friday 15 September for a one-day event at City Lit to learn more about cultural narratives of disfluency, intersectionality, anti-ableist practice and dysfluent art. Find out more: citylit.ac.uk/courses/stamme…
I was so proud to be a signatory of this incredible heart-felt and evidence-based letter in response to the RCSLT's Autism guidance. There is space for comments if you'd like to have a say

"Having power in a monoculture can blind us to the things we don’t know & can’t imagine yet. It can make us complicit in the oppression that leads to minorities being hurt, erased & left unsupported" @scrappapertiger medium.com/@sonyahallett/… theautisticadvocate.com/2023/07/an-ope… @ElaineMcgreevy
@RCSLT @RCSLTWales @RCSLTscot @RCSLTNI For me 'System' dehumanises; "clinical" places a power differential. What about, SLTs strive to help people to be their best, authentic selves in meaningful interactions & in eating & drinking, listening to & advocating alongside those we support within a relational partnership?
Mairi is a legend and this event was packed with passion, love and anti-oppressive attitude. You guys give a good name to the therapy world! #counselling #psychotherapy Well done to Mairi and colleagues for organising this. I look forward to catch up with recordings.
