Camouflaging that involved a lot of self-monitoring lead to more vigilance and anxiety about camouflaging 'failing'. Camouflaging that was very cognitively demanding was more exhausting and contributed to feelings of 'burnout' 5/6

Camouflaging that was very automatic or habitual appeared linked with feelings of in-authenticity and impacted on autistic people's identity. Overall it is important to consider how the societal context impacts on autistic people's mental health 6/6

Zara was everybody’s friend, daughter, niece, sister, cousin. Sadly, Zara isn’t the only one who had her life taken at the hands of a stranger. Women should be safe on our streets. We all need to talk about what happened to OUR ZARA: Powerful tribute from Zara Aleena’s family.

It's International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia. On 17 May 1990 the WHO removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. The pathologisation of human diversity was an example of institutional discrimination & anti-LGBT bias 1/3 #IDAHOBIT2022 #IDAHOT2022

Love the representation of advocacy as a party hat - any opportunity to advocate should be celebrated!
I’ve had a busy few weeks (and while I’m v tired) I’ve been really enjoying the variety of my work. Therapy, lots of assessments, & getting stuck into my research project. Reminding me of why I wanted to become a psychologist and this drawing I did a little while ago 🧢 #psyd
A non-verbal black teenager was arrested by the police and detained by the Home Office, who prepared his deportation to Nigeria. But he’s a British citizen, who has never left Britain and was missing from a Kent hospital. How is that anything but horrific racism?
