These communication & interoceptive differences do indeed come up in our works (including in that study), including educating healthcare professionals about the importance of recognising this in our @Autistic_SPACE framework. Other relevant works here: linktr.ee/autisticdoctors 😊

In this new study (in @MedEd_Journal), we draw on our recent Autistic SPACE framework (in @bjhospmed) to suggest some first steps for more inclusive practices in #MedEd for #ActuallyAutistic students @MedicalEducator @asmeofficial @BSMSMedSchool @cnicolaidis @eva_loth @Spectrum
🗞️***NEW PAPER***🗞️ Experiences of #ActuallyAutistic medical students "Participants longed for understanding and support... [but] most felt themselves to be victims of the system... expected to adapt themselves... to appear non-autistic" 👇👇👇 Link: researchgate.net/publication…

Lots of lovely messages today about *how* workplaces might start making adjustments - both on a personal level & through larger, cultural change. If interested, check out our 'Autistic SPACE' framework, which could be transferable to lots of settings ☺️ magonlinelibrary.com/doi/ful…
