Wonderful to see this. More research on perinatal autism is so desperately needed and must be led by lived experiences.

Super delighted to have published the second paper from my PhD - the first ever study looking at the experiences of community perinatal mental health team staff working with autistic people.

We made exceptionally enormous Fat Rascals.
Didn't know before today that you arrange the cherries and almonds to make a face so 6yo had great fun doing that in a variety of expressions.

We listen to and sing along with a version of Amazing Grace on the way home
Grace "of course, I know it's really about God's Grace but it's also about me, because I'm amazing"

Thanks to Amy for sharing her experience of PND and the lifesaving inpatient care she received at an MBU. With family ties to Northern Ireland, Amy reflected on how different her story might have been if that was where she was living at the time: www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/norther...

6yo sang for the first time at Holy Communion this morning with the choristers. It wasn't a child friendly service and she did SO well that she entirely earned the second biscuit that she sneaked.
Asked what she thought of the sermon "I wasn't really listening".
Better answer than "boring" I think.
