Replying to @autisticbutter1 @AutisticDoctor @Sarah_NottsUni
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 😊

Delighted about the opportunity to speak with @Autistic_Doc at the Coram/ IAC virtual conference on neurodiversity in adopted and looked after children; which brings together the two areas that have been most important to me professionally and personally.
