SO delighted that our feasibility and acceptability study of the Neurodivergent peer Support Toolkit (NEST) materials is OUT!! 🥳

In our recent paper, we described how the NEST was developed, in collaboration with neurodivergent young people and the adults who support them

After an autism diagnosis in adulthood, there is often no support. This lack of post-diagnostic support has been highlighted by autistic people, their allies, clinicians & service providers – it can cause distress and reinforce feelings of social isolation & rejection.

Our paper “Autistic peer to peer information transfer is highly effective” is out open-access @journalautism! I’m so excited!
We wanted to know if information transfer was different between autistic people, non-autistic people, and mixed groups.

Sharing information with other people relies on good communication. Lots of studies into autism & communication focus on how a single person performs on a social task, e.g. a theory of mind task. But communication involves more than one person, and is influenced by social context
