Autism is in the news from across the pond at the moment. We are posting the statement below to challenge what is being said with science and compassion.

We stand in solidarity with our autistic clients, colleagues, friends and loved ones.

"We are concerned by the multiple recent inaccurate claims from the Trump administration. These claims are not only stigmatising, but they are a distraction and act as an impediment to progress.

"As a group of charities that exist to make the world better for autistic people, we want to see governments focusing on following high-quality evidence to help autistic people thrive instead of focusing on disproven theories."

We have issued a joint statement with leading UK autism charities in response to the Trump administration's latest claims about autism.

💡 NEW EPISODE OUT NOW 💡
Ep. 10 – Autism Assessments: Breakthroughs in Self-Discovery and Identity

What happens when masking is mistaken for coping? When diagnosis arrives after decades of exhaustion and autistic burnout? When finding your truth means unlearning almost everything you were told about yourself?

In this powerful episode, autism and ADHD coach “Alfi” shares her late-diagnosis journey alongside Clinical Psychologist Dr. Katie Adolphus and host Dr. Esther Cole. Together, they unpack the emotional toll of navigating a neurotypical world, the transformative clarity of diagnosis, and the liberating shift from surviving to self-accepting.

🎧 A must-listen for:
🔹 Late-diagnosed autistic individuals
🔹 Parents, educators & mental health professionals
🔹 Anyone curious about the difference between masking and adapting—and the radical power of knowing who you are.
🔹 Wanting a deeper understanding of key terms like “rejection sensitivity”, “autistic burnout” and “internal autism”…

💬 “Diagnosis gave me back my story.” – Alfi

Had a great day in Cardiff yesterday at the National Neurodiversity Shows with our Assistant Psychologists, Libby and Amy. The sun was shining, we attended some interesting seminars but also lovely to spend time together out of the office, in person and not online!
