- Delighted to have our new paper, “Eliciting the views of autistic adolescents attending specialist schools on what friendships mean to them”, published in @journalautism.bsky.social! 🧵 #autres #openaccess journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
- doi.org/10.1177/1362... Useful study - are we getting better at finding e.g. autistic women and girls? Yes. 408 people in Scotland. The lifespan male-to-female ratio was approaching equal numbers of each. Do have a read of the detail. So much for 'it's a boy thing', eh?

- Such an important review paper! We love how the Caregiver Skills Training program uses non-specialists and can help improve access to autism services. This review is especially exciting because it describes cultural adaptations too. What are your thoughts about caregiver-mediated interventions? 🤔
