Now "spiky profiles" in autism - a skill profile with peaks and valleys with @BendyBrain and perspectives from hidden autism in liaison psychiatry settings @rcpsych#NATPpsychiatrists
High autism underdiagnosis rates across the lifespan - especially in women, older people, and people with mental health problems. Narrowing of M:F ratio from 9:1 to closer to 2:1 @RCPsych@NHSE_WTE@conor_davidson#NATPpsychiatrists
I really like the concept of the "neurodevelopmental galaxy" and constellations of overlapping or co-occurring symptoms between Autism, ADHD, Tourette's etc
"Hope goes beyond the success of treatment and interventions to a life of value and meaning" thank you @M4ttE11is, shifting from: What is the matter with you? (clinically focussed) > What has happened to you? (trauma-informed) > What matters to you? (recovery focussed)
Helpful to discuss authentic ways to demonstrate visibility as a leader. Being at the table, sharing your voice, so that your values are visible and you are seen to live your values. Really inspiring journeys from @SubhaThiyagesh@M4ttE11is and Ken Taylor @rcpsychLDN
Leading together: meaningful co-production and well-being - @rcpsych leadership and management fellow scheme. Hearing from Ken Taylor, @M4ttEllis, and @SubhaThiyagesh about the transformative power of focusing on what you can do rather than what you can't. @rcpsychLDN
Pleased to have written this blog with @drclarabel - Women are consistently at higher risk of dementia. Increased health equity for women could reduce dementia cases, especially in low and middle income countries where higher dementia risk in women was strongest. Have a read!
Sex differences in dementia risk and risk factors.
New international study suggests:
- dementia risk was higher in women than men
- greater risk in women was most pronounced in LMICs

Misogyny and racial bias routinely putting patients at risk - highly recommend all to read Divided by @SoSowemimo to explore these concepts further, hoping it is translated into action #Core20PLUS5
Politics, power and persuasion - looking forward to our @rcpsych leadership simulation day as we role play stakeholders and leaders to decide the fate of an arguably failing but much loved community hospital by the sea. #RCPsychLMFS@alextill54@SuhanaAh
Very important piece on the importance of nurturing clinician-scientists, with active support from the UK government & funders.
"For this species to survive & thrive, funders and professional regulatory bodies should nurture clinician-scientists rather than erect barriers."
