Boris Johnson says he is ‘spectrum-y’. As an autistic man, I’m disgusted Johnson is just the latest male member of the elite to try to use autism as an excuse for his actions

I realise that this is very individual and unique to each person I work with, but also interested if such a questionnaire / tool exists?

Are any of you lovely people aware of any questionnaires or measures out there that are designed specifically for neurodivergent people to capture outcomes that are meaningful and important to neurodivergent folk that I might helpfully use in the context of offering assessments, support and therapy?

Same.

Vaccines save lives. Keep repeating the message. It’s the truth.
