Occasional non-academic post incoming- a still from our aerial winter showcase, where I performed 'what's this' from Nightmare Before Christmas.

A white woman performing aerial rope. She is wearing black leggings and a white shirt with black stipes. Her face is painted like a skeleton. She is dynamically rolling through the air, against a red curtained backdrop.

We used a participatory photovoice method to develop 4 key themes: (1) ‘everything shattered’, (2) ‘being seen’, (3) ‘understanding not judgement, please’ and (4) ‘here’s a leaflet, off you go’. We also formulated a list of action points.

A set of actions, which are ‘nothing about us, without us’ – ensuring that autistic people are involved in improving diagnostic criteria and pathways, staff training and resources. ‘Listen up!’ – autistic people must be listened to and their experiences acknowledged and validated, by a range of different groups such as doctors, clinicians, policymakers and researchers. Finally, ‘Flexibility and openness in services’, with the need for readily available services with different options to enable personalisation, as well as services appreciating wider neurodivergence and intersectionality.
