We would like to take this opportunity to share a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us with our AGAINST PBS & ABA campaign, celebrating the launch our practical toolkit 'A practical approach to neurodiversity-affirming care and support'. Your positivity, enthusiasm and generosity in engaging with our content, downloading the toolkit and sharing your feedback has been invaluable. Please continue to spread the word!
We also want to thank Dr Mary Doherty, Dr Sue McCowan and Dr Sebasrian CK Shaw for creating the SPACE Framework in 2023, without which, the world of Neurodivergent–affirming care would be a very different place.
And finally, we want to thank the whole Neurodiverse Connection team, without whom none of this would be possible. Thank you.

"This innovative toolkit provides five tools to support wellbeing, safety, and consent-based, relational, neurodiversity-affirming care. The resources will be invaluable in supporting healthcare services, Autistic people, and their significant others to collaboratively develop Neurodivergent affirming adjustments, strategies, and support options during times of emotional distress.

At the core of our new interactive toolkit is the Autistic SPACE Framework, a person-centred care approach developed by Dr Mary Doherty, Dr Sue McCowan & Dr Sebastian CK Shaw (2023) & we are honoured to share this wonderful endorsement from Dr Doherty. ndconnection.co.uk/resources/p/...

"The Autistic SPACE Framework was developed by autistic doctors to give healthcare professionals a practical framework grounded in autistic experience for delivering neurodiversity-affirming care. This toolkit, developed by Neurodiverse Connection, translates that framework into something healthcare organisations can implement with confidence. I've watched this work develop and it is a faithful, thoughtful application of what the Autistic SPACE Framework was designed to achieve. I hope it finds the wide adoption it deserves – and that autistic patients need."

Dr Mary Doherty, Founder – Autistic Doctors International
