Laura Crane of University College London and Holly Radford of the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership mentioned a poster presentation by Rhys Proud of Durham University.
I loved @Rhys91705511‘s #INSAR2023 poster too! It included a quote from an autistic young person that I haven’t stopped thinking about since I saw it: “It can be easier with non-neurotypicals…But I don’t think it matters if you’re autistic, I think it matters if you’re kind” https://t.co/jjwTyjp7HJ pic.twitter.com/r7BloILddQ
