🗞️ NEW PAPER 🗞️ Experiences of #ActuallyAutistic adults previously diagnosed with BPD/EUPD "misdiagnosis carried stigma, introduced diagnostic overshadowing, & led to harmful experiences... they felt powerless to challenge it" Read free: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… @BSMSMedSchool

Happy to share that our commentary (with amazing @drharikeerthan), was published y’day in the @MedEd_Journal by @asmeofficial. Since then, we’ve been receiving deeply personal messages—from neuroatypical superspecialists who had to drop out mid-course 1/ …epublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Epistemic injustice... being autistic means one’s credibility and capacity to relate an accurate account of one’s own experience is often questioned. How can I be a doctor if I am autistic? Conversely, how can I be autistic if I am a doctor? thelancet.com/journals/lance…

The release of this book snuck up on me! Finally The Neurodiversity Child Autism Assessment Handbook is to be released soon (April 21st), which will take you step by step through a truly neurodiversity affirmative child Autistic identification.

New paper out from @yellowbicyclist @autisticdoctor @autistic_doc and Jon Ives: Reasonable adjustments for autistic clinicians: A qualitative study.  doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Huge congrats to @DoctorsAutistic member Dr Samantha @auti_medic23, blazing a trail for #autistic medical students & doctors everywhere🩺🎉 Watch out for her project at @AutismEurope Congress, deepening our knowledge of the experiences & support needs of autistic medical students

I was so delighted to be part of the @rcpsychNDPSIG conference and hear from so many interesting speakers before and during it. Here is a snapshot of some of them and not least @SEDSConnective patron Dr Eccles Chair of NDPSIG who I felt did the most amazing plenary speech.…

The last speaker panel of the day from this wonderful conference with various speakers and Chairs @rcpsychNDPSIG #NDPSIG2924 #thinkingDifferently #UlrichMullerSedgewick @BendyBrain #BErin @PerinatalBirder #MKinnear @Autistic_Doc #MEvison

Really exceptional talk from @benerinerin (@BSMSMedSchool) at @rcpsychNDPSIG this afternoon, exploring his research (with @BendyBrain) on why neurodivergent people may be more creative

Ben Erin sharing a refreshing perspective on Neurodivergence and Creativity. Researching on this fascinating theme ‘with’ neurodivergent people and how these learnings help us understand NDV in different contexts. @BSMSMedSchool #NDPSIG2024 #RCPsychThinkingDifferently 🧠🔆

Beyond the neurotype: Dr. Eccles explores complex but ever present brain-body links & overlap across neurodevelopmental conditions,especially hyper-mobility in neurodevelopmental & psychiatric conditions & beyond @SamuelJTromans @SanaHashmi5 @rcpsychDPSIG @rcpsychNY #NDPSIG2024

Wowed by @PerinatalBirder speaking the TRUTH about perinatal challenges for women with autism and ADHD. Why are clinicians so reluctant to allow patient autonomy? #NDPSIG2024

When your ACF supervisor is researcher goals 🔥🔥🔥 As always, a hugely ‘lightbulb’ and engaging talk from Dr Jess Eccles on the interaction between body and brain! @BendyBrain #NDPSIG2024

The neurodivergence paradigm - stimulating presentation from @Autistic_Doc dispelling common myths @RCPsych #NDPSIG2024

We are pleased to see more accurate terminology used by @Autistic_Doc, something we have been publishing & advocating for many years ! #thinkingDifferently #neurodiversityParadigm vs neurodiversity and #neurodivergence

Laurence and Elysia have collaborated with Anna, Rosiel, Scout, Kai, and Jane to write a paper about neurodivergence, intersectionality, and eating disorders from the perspective of lived experience. @InsideOutInst @Bfoundation @beatED link.springer.com/article/10.118… #neurodiversity

💬 "this paradigm promotes critical thinking around things we have previously passively accepted as real. This considers the influence of power on how we constructed such historical ‘truths’ and how these are then maintained as part of the wider status quo"
