Love dancing? Hate dancing? If you're #autistic, age 18+, in the UK, please take part in our survey (designed with autistic project advisors). We want to hear about why people don't dance, dancing at home (kitchen disco anyone?), socially, or at dance classes. For more info: tinyurl.com/Aut-dance

Findings from our recent project on the role of Community Health Services in avoiding hospital admissions also highlight this tension between meeting ambitions and funding constraints/flow of funding. Papers in submission!

Share of NHS funding spent on mental health is to fall. Govt focus on those physical health elective waiting lists? Seems odd when consider huge impact of poor mental health on work & employability @drdon.bsky.social @martievt.bsky.social @somceo.bsky.social @dr-know.bsky.social

Wow, just wow! Wonderful to see this huge poster. I wear a sunflower lanyard although I'm not sure many people know what it means. I would love people to ask me why and how they can support me. And on that note - I'm autistic! Thanks for sharing @drannac.bsky.social @profjackiecarter.bsky.social

UK GP practices, who's interested in helping us pilot some training materials for improving patient safety in remote encounters (e.g. patients phoning in or sending e-requests and getting allocated to particular options such as GP callback, in-person appt etc)? Can offer free training to first five!

...and masking and struggling when you're autistic is so tiring, which makes the work harder still. Great blog by the brilliant Jen Remnant. Thanks Anna.
