The study checked the Infatuation and Attachment Scale (IAS), relationship status and duration in a mixed-neurotype population (neurodiverse and neurotypical). People in the neurodiverse population had higher infatuation scores, and people obsessions mediated higher attachment scores. The primary increase in attachment occurred at a distance in the neurodiverse population and with dating in the neurotypical. People diagnosed with autism in the study had considerably more relationship problems compared to both neurodiverse and neurotypical participants. They were less likely to be in love or a relationship and had shorter durations when they were.

D4D (Disability and Community: Dis/engagement, Dis/enfranchisement, Dis/parity and Dissent) was a four year AHRC Connected Communities project investigating issues around disability and community.Electric Bodies was one of the eight project strands. It explored the relationship between the disabled artist and the disability arts community through a series of extensive life history interviews edited into transcription poetry cycles.'Stories of Power' is a cycle of transcription poems written by Allan Sutherland. They are based on interviews conducted by Sutherland with the writer and performer Jess Thom. The poems cover a life lived with Tourette's, starting with growing up as a neuro-diverse child and experiences of the special school system. Thom describes how she went from art college to playwork and from there started to develop an arts practice which led to setting up Touretteshero with Matthew Pountney. She talks about the devising and performance of the show 'Backstage in Biscuit Land' and its subsequent live television broadcast. Thom mentions her performance of Samuel Beckett's 'Not I' along with how she obtained permission to stage it from the Beckett estate. Finally she also advances the idea that all performances should be relaxed performances which do not exclude disabled people.This item contains the following files:The poems (PDF)Recording of Allan Sutherland reading the poems (MP3)Transcript of the interviews (PDF)Audio of the interviews (3 x MP3)This content has been uploaded with the permission of the creators.

In 2021, 18 percent of the employees in the games industry in the United Kingdom (UK) were neurodivergent. Overall, seven percent of employees reported to having a learning difficulty such as dyslexia. A further four percent of the workers within the games industry self-reported to being autistic.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects can be rigid in their teaching structure, creating barriers to education for students with more complex learning needs. As a result, there has been an increased need for compassionate pedagogy and adaptive education practices to provide multi-modal learning experiences—often referred to as Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Here, we outline our work in teaching science in prison that applies UDL principles to create different educational access points which are not solely focused on rote learning and reading text (which some students struggle with). We use creative practices, including art, music, and play, as a teaching aid for science subjects such as climate change, sleep, and space exploration. The key findings here being that the application of UDL principles combined to produce a positive classroom experience in a science class—with students feeling more that science is for everyone of every neurotype. Although our work here is tailored to the restrictive prison environment, the application of its core principles to education are fundamental practices that could be beneficial to a wide audience.

We used a vignette-and-questionnaire design to study stigmatising attitudes among pupils. 250 UK-based students in the South West of England were surveyed at two ages: 11-12 years and 14-16 years. We investigated the effect of disclosing that a fictional adolescent had an autism or ADHD diagnosis on stigmatising attitudes of peers by testing the effect of disclosure on the social and emotional distance pupils wanted to maintain from the fictional adolescent and their assessment of the target’s responsibility for their own behaviour. Participant responses were recorded in self-report questionnaires.

Exploring Diagnosis is a research project based at the University of Exeter, focussing on the role that diagnosis plays in individual and professional understandings of health and illness using autism spectrum disorder diagnosis as a case study. This project explores adults' and clinicians’ experiences of the utility and consequences of diagnostic categorisation. Autism diagnosis is particularly relevant because the label is increasingly applied, the diagnosis has clear costs and benefits, and its application is frequently contested. It is important to ask why, if, and how, diagnosis is of benefit. The outputs of this project are: a series of academic articles, two books and three short films exploring the themes of Diagnosis, Neurodiversity and Art. Datasets included: Interviews with autistic adults (IWAA); Pupil’s attitudes to Autistic and ADHD peer (PAAAP); and Healthcare Professionals' diagnostic decision-making: observational and interview data (HCPDD).

The number of individuals of all ages suffering from neurological disorders in Italy was fluctuating between 2010 and 2023, but it maintained an overall increasing trend. According to the data, there were around 2.5 million Italians with nervous disorders in 2010, and this figure reached roughly 2.7 million by 2023. In 2019, there were almost 2.9 million individuals affected by these type of disorders, the highest value recorded in the period under consideration. This statistic displays the number of individuals suffering from nervous disorders in Italy from 2010 to 2023.

Exploring Diagnosis is a research project based at the University of Exeter, focussing on the role that diagnosis plays in individual and professional understandings of health and illness using autism spectrum disorder diagnosis as a case study. We examined how healthcare professionals (HCPs) diagnose autism in practice by observing post-assessment meetings in specialist autism assessment teams. These meetings (N=18) were followed up by 16 interviews with HCPs involved in the observed team meetings.

A summary of implications for researchers and practitioners.

BackgroundPrimary care is designed to co-manage health concerns, contribute to preventive care, and provide medical care coordination. Receiving primary care may be especially vital for autistic people, many of whom disproportionately experience psychiatric and physical health conditions. However, autistic adults often face barriers to receiving primary care, and first-hand accounts of these challenges are limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe barriers and facilitators to primary care encounters as reported by autistic adults.MethodsInterviews were conducted with 34 autistic adults in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, lasted an average of 26 min, were transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis. This dataset is part of a larger study that interviewed autistic adults, caregivers, and primary care providers (PCPs).ResultsParticipants were primarily White, non-Hispanic, and had a mean age of 32 years. Five overarching themes describing challenges and potential strategies to improve care emerged from the interviews: (1) finding a primary care provider, (2) the physical environment, (3) communication, (4) autism-specific knowledge, and (5) support for primary care encounters, while simultaneously highlighting the importance of tailoring care for autistic adults to improve primary care experiences. Results, specifically in the communication and autism-specific knowledge themes, were consistent with the neurodiversity model of autism, as participants highlighted stigma and mutual communication as key healthcare barriers.ConclusionFindings provide a nuanced understanding of autistic adult participants’ primary care experiences, highlighting their perception of barriers and facilitators to these healthcare encounters. These results offer valuable insights for improving the accessibility and quality of care for autistic people, many of which are practical, low/no cost, and easy to implement. Strategies also emphasized the diversity of experiences and preferences for autistic patients, highlighting the importance of tailoring accommodations in the primary care setting.

BackgroundEquity is fundamental to health promotion programmes. However, unintentional or unseen barriers may exist for some underserved groups. We aimed to identify how to ensure equitable access and engagement for diverse parent carers of disabled children to benefit from health promotion programmes.MethodsWe purposively sampled parent carers with potentially intersecting characteristics including those who self-identified as from ethnic groups, whose children were educated other than at school, with sensory impairments, or neurodiversity, and fathers. Participants were recruited through local and national organisations and parent carer networks. Data collection involved semi-structured individual interviews, which were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically and iteratively alongside data collection. Core researchers performed early analysis independently, followed by research team and advisory group cross-validation.ResultsThirty-six parent carers with intersecting characteristics across the sampled backgrounds participated. We identified various perceived barriers around finding out about, attending and engaging with health programmes. We organised the findings into five themes focused on concepts capturing challenges and potential solutions to contextual barriers to access and participation in health programmes. (i) Reach—judiciously using targeted and universal strategies to ensure equitable distribution; (ii) Credibility—demonstrating trustworthiness of those advertising and/or delivering the programme; (iii) Opportunity—ensuring that the programme is seen as fulfilling a relevant need; (iv) Reservations—addressing barriers of readiness to participate; and (v) Optimisation—tailoring to improve the inclusivity of the programme delivery.ConclusionWe identified modifiable factors that impede members of some social groups from engaging with, and benefiting from, health promotion programmes, and potential solutions. We advocate a multifaceted approach is required from outreach to delivery, tailored to be mindful of extant diverse needs of parent carers in underserved communities. We catalogue key considerations to inform implementation strategies to optimise equity in health programmes for parent carers. The implications are likely transferable to other interventions and contexts.
