THREAD: Premature deaths of autistic people in the UK have been investigated for the first time. The study, led by Prof Josh Stott (@ADAPTlabUCL @UCLPALS), confirms that autistic people have reduced life expectancy, but the gap might not be as wide as previously claimed. (1/6)

Talking therapy might help some. But probably not as many as you might think. And some worrying observations: "significantly more likely to deteriorate compared with the comparison group"...

Five key dimensions of grief in people living with dementia were identified:
1. Grieving for the person I used to be
2. Grieving for how others see me
3. Grieving for the person I will become
4. Grieving for those who have died
5. What helps me with my grief

These findings are important in acknowledging that people living with dementia can and do experience grief, and require additional support to cope with this experience

This study has also highlighted an under-representation of autistic adults in these services. This was even more substantial in autistic adults with intellectual disabilities. This calls for a need to improve access to psychological therapies for autistic people.
