I was on BBC woman's hour to talk all things autismcentral.nhs.uk and was delighted to hear reflections from parents who have been experiencing and programme and a wonderful statement of support by @england.nhs.uk on the success of the programme.

Everything we do is fully co-produced with hashtag#autistic people and family members, ensuring that lived experience sits alongside research, not behind it. At its heart, this work is about connection, understanding and early support.

There is still a great deal of work ahead... but when research evidence, ethics and co-production come together with purpose, meaningful change becomes possible.

Its mission is simple but urgent: to break loneliness and prevent crisis by sharing evidence-based education with families in a way that is grounded in lived experience and delivered with sensitivity.

🔔 From January 2026, we’ll be running 20+ group coaching sessions, shaped directly by topics families have recommended. 👉 A request to professionals: If you work with autistic peoples' families, please recommend Autism Central coaching sessions, these peer-led spaces can make a real difference

Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou @jopavlopoulou.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

The sessions are: • mentalising-informed, mentalising is adapted through a neurodivergence-affirming lens • 55 minutes, structured and predictable • low-demand online spaces • groups of up to 20 people • delivered by neurodivergent experts by experience

Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou @jopavlopoulou.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

The feedback has been powerful Families said sessions: ✔️ validated their experiences ✔️ deepened understanding of autistic lived experience ✔️ built confidence to advocate and challenge systems ✔️ offered practical learning they could apply ✔️ created a safe, reflective, supportive learning community

Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou @jopavlopoulou.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

#AFBuzzwords25 #trauma #neurodivergence conference at @annafreudcharity.bsky.social was an absolute success I cried a few times- a wonderful blend of science, storytelling, so much hope and so much systemic harm too. I am still reflecting. #autism #adhd

Balearic trance on repeat and plenty of sleep for me this weekend, doing what I can to reset and recover and get some head space to just ...be! December always feels too cold and heavy, but 2026 will bring flowers. We’ve planted so many seeds this year... personally, professionally, and together

To build systems where neurodivergent people don’t get hurt, we must first recognise our potential to harm. To create safe l spaces where people thrive, we need to understand what thriving means. #AFBuzzwords25 sold out event was a very unique experience @annafreudcharity.bsky.social
