#AutismtheArtOfThePossible confirmed to me that In-person events still have a critical role. Watching the interactions, the networking, the informal chats, the fun, the love and the joy of having people who share a common cause, together in the same safe space was immense. @at-autism.bsky.social

We work with organisations to design and improve services that truly meet autistic people’s needs. We offer expert guidance on inclusive practice, service development and organisational change – grounded in both evidence and lived experience. Learn more: www.atautism.org/services/aut...

Whilst the work of Anna Freud and @at-autism.bsky.social on the NATP has now ended, people can still read here about this groundbreaking co-designed, co-developed, co-delivered programme, including impact case studies: www.annafreud.org/training/hea...

If you train your people to seclude and restrain don't be surprised if they do just that. This slow-moving fiasco is now a shambles. What next on #ControlandRestraint in #schools? www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

Why empathy, reflection, and listening skills are such important qualities for the teacher. Even when the system is bad, the good teacher will make things happen. @at-autism.bsky.social #Synergy

Delighted that all three submissions to the @autismeurope.bsky.social Congress were accepted including #Synergy with #LaskaridisFundation Greece, Affinity, @scottishautism.bsky.social- and #NATPmentalHealth with #AnnaFreud - looking forward to seeing everyone in Dublin

Yes- really looking forward to catching up with so many people from the whole world of #autism

I feel desperately sorry for our friends and colleagues at #NHSE who have done such a great job supporting the brilliantly effective National Autism Trainer Programme with #AnnaFreud and @at-autism.bsky.social #NATPMentalHealth

Part of the solution-the National Autism Trainer Programme, a partnership of #AT-Autism & #AnnaFreud. Over 5000 #mentalhealth professionals including #CAMHS trained in #autism. Ends this month. With the end of #NHSE, who knows about the future? #NATPMentalHealth news.sky.com/story/childr...

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️

Thrilled to find out today that my paper and symposium for the @autismeurope.bsky.social Autism Congress 2025 have been accepted. So looking forward to presenting our research on neuroinclusive education with @aalcorn.bsky.social @drlornaham.bsky.social and Anna Cook. Who's coming too?

😱😱 thank you

The National Autism Trainer Programme. #NATPMentalHealth This fantastic partnership between #AT-Autism and #AnnaFreud was commissioned and funded by #NHSE. Full involvement of #autistic experts in development and delivery ensured credibility and authenticity was at its heart. Making a difference.

Wish there had been more time to hear from Jessika Morgan McNeil and Nellie Allsop. We know from many delegates and Experts by Experience that autistic people with eating disorders require adapted treatment plans.

Kate Walder from HCRG Care Group and David Crisp, NATP Expert by Experience talked about the substantial impact of the #NATPMentalHealth

Feedback from CAMHS delegates to the course delivered by Paige Turner (West London NHS Trust) and Eiman Munro, one of our NATP EbEs.

Our next reflection is from Omar Gas, Michael Adams and DK Jonah, East London NHS Foundation Trust Experiences of implementation and building local capacity #NATPmentalhealth
