2. Do let us escape if we need to, even if it's in the middle of Christmas lunch. It might be an important meal, but if I know I can get up and decompress in a quiet room whenever, I feel far less stressed. #autistic
3. Don't make us join in family games if we don't want to. A busy family Christmas can be hell for social anxiety, and being forced to play Twister won't help that. #autistic

2/18 Non-Autistic/#Autistic people, whether you are Professionals/parents or otherwise: 'The inside of Autism' has two rounds left in 2022 (one in Sept and one in Nov).
Sept is 3/4 full already and November is 1/2 full.
Places go FAST (That's not a sales pitch, they really do)

3/18 But what is it?
Its training, but it isn't autism training. At least not like you're used to.
The course focuses on reframing the #Autism narrative from an Autistic perspective, based on current Autistic & ally-led research & aims to introduce new concepts & give new tools
