🚨 It’s official – Voices of Neurodiversity: An Inclusive Encyclopaedia is OUT TODAY! 🧠📘💛
After years of research, writing, and collaboration, it’s finally here. Here’s what it’s all about 👇🧵
My new website is now live: chrispaps.com 🚀🙂 – at Enfield, London
Dr Chris Papadopoulos retweeted
@chrispaps @uniofbedsnews hopes his inclusive encyclopaedia will spark discussion and action, and Hazel Lim looks at addressing the stigma around autism in the Chinese community. @ChineseautismUK

Great to be part of relaunching the Autism Westminster Commission with @BarrySheerman @EDalmayne and others – at Enfield, London
Delighted to launch our new @lagcharity scheme 'Autistic Workplace Support Sessions'. Looking forward to supporting the employment needs of our fantastic autistic community who are horribly discriminated against in employment, both when seeking posts and when in post
Yesterday we launched our Autistic Workplace Support Sessions at @LDN_Museum 🎉
1-to-1 employment advice, honest discussions on workplace barriers, & a gifted laptop from @comp4char 🙏
Monthly sessions (except Dec 2025) until July 2026.
Fantastic magazine and community 👇
New stories out now! As the risk to rights and access continues apace, meet those taking positive action

Autism isn’t “caused” by paracetamol. Or vaccines. Or diets.
It’s not something to prevent or cure. It’s a natural neurotype. An identity.
Wild and tragic that it's 2025 and we're STILL having this debate
My new article is out! 📢
'The Use of AI Chatbots for Autistic People: A Double-Edged Sword of Digital Support and Companionship'
AI ‘friends’ can offer acceptance & reduce loneliness for autistic people but they can also cause harm without safeguards
doi.org/10.1177/275463302513…
This feels especially relevant right now with the release of GPT-5 and the sudden disappearance of GPT-4o’s more ‘companion-like’ personality.
Autistic people (and others) are deeply affected when AI companionship shifts overnight. This raises urgent ethical questions
Please share 🙏
