I’m forever indebted to the committee and staff team for this amazing opportunity. Now, here’s hoping that the government takes the conclusions and recommendations from this report and delivers with the next autism strategy...!

I’m really proud of the final report - not just for its crucially important conclusions and recommendations, but for the way it pushed the boundaries in terms of accessibility, inclusion and representation for a House of Lords committee (see pages 24-34 of the full report for details). [3/4]

As Specialist Adviser to the committee, I witnessed the incredible efforts put into understanding the perspectives and experiences of autistic people and those who support them, as well as the research evidence across areas such as healthcare, education, employment and criminal justice. [2/4]

This was a great question from @kathyleadbitter.bsky.social - would really love to see an analysis of these news reports, to highlight just how pernicious this matter is. Maybe a next project for @drmbothapsych.bsky.social - if they can stomach even more dehumanising accounts, that is 😖
