Over 20,000 people have already backed my petition calling for a Wealth Tax, not cuts to disability support.
As part of our campaigning to get as many MPs as possible to vote down these cuts, I’ll present this in Parliament ahead of any vote.

The push for compliance is so incredibly harmful on SO many levels
We MUST teach autistic young people to say NO.

You know the world is on the road to ruin when those who seek to make it fairer and more equitable are seen as the enemy.
Improving Mental Health Therapies For Autistic Children And Young People.
“anxiety arising from uncertainty is often a perfectly rational response for autistic children and young people. Reducing that anxiety must start with identifying and addressing the causes of uncertainty.” @jopavlopoulou.bsky.social , with @lauramaycrane.bsky.social, Russell Hurn and Damian Milton.
People forget just how close the 2017 election was. The Labour right snuffed him out. Things could have been very different.
I am writing an Autistic burnout course with Tanya Adkin and Kelly Mahler! We want to include and draw upon the experiences of Autistic people and their loved ones. Please could you do this anonymous survey?

If everyone in society understood this concept, it would be a momentous change , a shift in society’s perception.
I absolutely love speaking about it.
It just so happens there’s a video with #Aucademy

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope that the next few days brings you most of what you want and all of what you need.
And if Christmas is a tricky time of year for you, I really hope that it passes quickly and without incident.
Sending love and the warmest of wishes to you all this festive season 💜
Galloping anxiety is an excellent description.
Which also suggests that trotting anxiety is a possibility.
"Today my anxiety is doing a gentle hand canter"
The possibilities are endless!
If food related Christmas traditions don't meet your needs, then rip 'em up and start again!

Just been having a look through Jodie Clarke's latest book 'Young, Autistic and Burnt Out' and it is fabulous.
I'm SO glad autistic young people now have this resource at their disposal to not only guide them through autistic burnout, but to show them that there is a life on the other side of it.
Huge respect to Emma and the team for handing this letter to Wes Streeting.
Our trans youth need us to stand in their corner.

In today's research on autism, reading all the papers that claim that IVF may 'cause' autistic people. Can't find even one team that ask whether one or both parents is autistic.
Factors for infertility typically include age (e.g. autistic people may marry later) or/
Dear researchers doing this stuff. Please check whether your cohort is autistic.
The main cause of autism is autistic parents having autistic children.
I know this goes against everything your ancient Professors are telling you to write in your papers, but try. Just try.
Thank you.
It’s disheartening to see lots of white starter packs, including in #autism. As many people know, this contributes to underdiagnosis, stigma and isolation
It would be really nice to elevate voices from the #BIPOC community and feel less alone ❤️
Would love to start my own pack - any suggestions?
Take back control, Helen. Sit on the carpet. See what the chair has to say THEN.
It’s happening!
The Autistic burnout network conference May 17th 2025
Registration at www.autisticadvocate.co.uk/autistic-burnout-network
This is really important work highlighting the parental blame faced by parents of autistic children.
Our autistic young people and their families deserve so much better.
We have such a long way to go to create a world that understands and includes rather than judging and blaming.
The focus is all too often "how do we get them through the door", rather than acknowledging that what lies in wait beyond that threshold is traumatising for many of our young people
Very kind of you to include me, thank you 😊
Online event on Dec 10th. A sort of open mic night for autistics to share their passions and autistic joy. What's not to love?
