Poster outlining the following information: Researchers at The University of Manchester and NHS are looking for clinicians who work with autistic people without learning disabilities to support their sensory motor needs (even if this is a small part of their role). The study aims to show the need for routine sensory motor assessments and treatment for autistic people without learning disabilities and what kinds of assessments and support would be of help. You would be asked to complete a survey asking about your experience of using sensory motor assessments and support options with autistic adults without learning disabilities. If you need more information, please contact: sensorymotorsupport@gmmh.nhs.uk
New call for volunteers: we're looking for #clinicians who work with #autistic people without learning disabilities, supporting their #sensory motor needs. Please see attached advert & survey link here:

EPS/BSA undergraduate prize winners Oliver Panther (2026) and Akilles Rechardt (2025) have written really insightful and engaging blog posts on their projects. Please give them a read and share widely: sites.google.com/site/bsapsyc... @exppsychsoc.bsky.social @britsciassoc.bsky.social
Please feel free to share! We want to understand how to better support autistic and or ADHD undergraduate students at UK universities. The entire study team is neurodivergent (as you can imagine we had some excellent meetings!)
You can do this right now:
Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.
Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.
