Excellent to hear that Autistic Psychologists will be contributing to the national government funded initiative aimed at improving the experience for people undergoing autism assessment & diagnosis 👏👏👏

Today, the Australian Government announced $455,000 in funding to improve the experience of autism assessment and diagnosis.

We are delighted to be partnering with Reframing Autism and the University of Melbourne Neurodiversity Project to contribute the expertise of Autistic psychologists to this national initiative.

As clinicians who conduct assessments and support individuals and families through the diagnostic process, and who have lived experience of neurodivergence ourselves, we are excited to help shape the next generation of affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive resources for Australia.

This opportunity reflects the growing recognition of the important role Autistic psychologists can play in shaping policy, practice, and systems change.

Love seeing research that is led by community needs 🪷

This new study examines parental/carer perspectives on school attendance difficulties among neurodivergent children and young people (CYP) in the UK. Based on interviews with 44 participants, thematic analysis identified four key themes: (1) misalignment between mainstream educational demands and neurodivergent needs, (2) fragility and dysfunction within support systems, (3) pervasive family-level distress, and (4) advocacy for systemic reform in educational provision. Findings highlight how structural and environmental mismatches within mainstream schooling, compounded by inadequate support, contribute to significant adverse impacts on CYP and their families, and underscore the need for more inclusive and responsive educational practices.
