Took my autistic daughter to the GP. GP looked in her ear and asked if it was painful. She said no. He looked surprised. She has a virus and her ear is very red.
Really important for health professionals to understand that autistic people may feel pain differently.
Calling the #ActuallyAutistic community. I'm a NT trying to help a young person who I believe is going through autistic burnout. Can anyone suggest ways to support them?
Yes.

Even better yet: don't get discouraged if you prioritise your mental health, fair treatment at work and a decent stable salary over a career in academia.
“Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make it into academia. There’s always going to be a place and a space for you. Sometimes that place and that space is not what we expect or not what we think it is. That’s OK. Keep moving forward.” - Kimberly West, PhD
Exactly. What does exclusion actually achieve? The child becomes less engaged with school, develops anxiety about returning and may suffer from the after effects for months. The other kids don't forget. The child then becomes "that kid who got excluded". It's traumatising.

This is shameful and not at all new. In the past, the Taliban imposed a “temporary” ban on girls’ education that lasted five years. They are testing our resolve. We demand that leaders stand up for Afghan girls’ right to go to school. theguardian.com/world/2021/s…
