We wish Chloe and James all the best in their ongoing doctoral research (on, respectively, school distress and access to PE), and the same to Dr Botha with their Leverhulme research.

The onus is on us to improve society, however we can also provide autistic people with tools to help guide our knowledge. We created a healthy relationships resource as part of the project, hosted on @DurhamDevDis : durham.ac.uk/research/instit…

We also need to take a preventative approach- we need better relationship and sex education for ND people, and to recognise how vulnerability is shaped by stigma, and interacts with aspects of being autistic (e.g. struggling to recognise manipulative behaviour)...

The systems we have to support victim-survivors are often inaccessible to autistic people, and the criminal justice system left people feeling more traumatised. Better knowledge is needed, and more resources to support frontline workers...

This led to violence being normalised and expected, and resulted in people masking and fawning to cope/stay safe. They would tell themselves 'it could be worse' until it got to breaking point. Normalisation made it hard to spot red flags, even if it felt easy in retrospect...

The first paper 'Its not a physical prison but you cant get out' explores how autistic people recognise intimate abuse, and make sense of what happened afterwards. We found people felt powerless their whole lives, and were treated lesser by others...
