ALT Post on Reddit r/Autism - Title: UK Parents: don't get yourself diagnosed as Autistic. The First three paragraphs are as followed: I don't think this is talked about enough in Autistic spaces. Everything is about the affirmation and validation you receive once you are finally diagnosed as Autistic. There is nothing that talks about the impact that has on your family. As soon as I was diagnosed I was reported to Social Services. The reason? Because I am a parent and diagnosed Autistic. The UK government wants all newly diagnosed parents to be assessed for their "capabilities to parent". This investigation often gets labeled up as "emotional abuse", because of the stereotype that Autistic people have no empathy. The rest of the post is too big for Twitter's Alt Text.

ALT Rainbow strip down either side of poster, reads: Call for research participants: Hi, we are looking to interview people who identify as trans, non-binary and/or gender variant aged 18-25 about your experience of developing your gender identity within the UK secondary school system. Our aim is to explore how your lived experience can better support educators and trainee teachers to confidently challenge cisnormativity in schools. If you would like to get involved and attend an online interview or for further information, please contact Dr Ben Johnson (he/him) at [email protected].
