Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Another bit from the same piece: Parents and caregivers of autistic children should be made clearly aware that the only thing pursuing an autism “cure” will do is make their families victims of a mercenary autism pseudoscience industry. #autism #neurodiversity

Check out the Autistic Burnout Network.
Led by @vivdawes.bsky.social and other neuro-affirming professionals to develop the understanding, recognition and acceptance of autistic burnout.

This is great. You might also read me and @juststimming.bsky.social on “profound autism.” It’s one of the pieces I’m most proud of.

Curious how many people out there realized that they were autistic only after a child's diagnosis, or understood their autistic child/themselves all the better bc of trait overlap. Does this describe you?

You can find out more about us on our website - and keep an eye out for our launch announcement soon! 🎉 (4/4)

We've been able to draw on experiences and advice from our brilliant autistic family and friends, and have developed our material based on feedback from parent focus groups. Our aim was to create a resource which promotes understanding and empowers parents to support their autistic kids. (3/4)

We've both watched other families struggle to access diagnosis and find support for their autistic kids - and between us we thought we might have the skills to do something to help. We've been working on fraut for a year, with encouragement from Tony's GP practice and our local Autism Hub. (2/4)

Ahead of the Android launch of the fraut app, here's a thread about who we are and why we made an autism support app.

🧵 We're Tony and Beth. When we're not developing software, we have other jobs - Tony is a GP and Beth is a lecturer. We're both autistic, with neurodivergent kids. (1/4)

A very long thread, and all of it is excellent. Proper information - and hope! - for parents of autistic kids can be life-changing.

Just because we're new here - these are things we believe:

Nothing about us without us;
Trans rights are human rights;
Black autistic experiences need to be amplified;
Paracetamol and vaccines do not cause autism;
ABA is abuse.

Please feel free to block us if you disagree. 💖

Ooh...! Now trying to resist the Many Exciting Rabbit-holes...!

Thank you so much - that's just what we needed! 🙏

Thanks - will keep that in mind! 👍

We're focusing entirely on parents/carers with the current app - looking at building understanding of autism and empowering parents to help and support their kids - but ALL of those things are on our list for future projects!

So many projects, so little time! 😂

Hi there (any user of Alice GIFs is worth knowing)!

Beautiful!

Happy to be on Bluesky, and looking to follow #ActuallyAutistic people and organisations. We're keen to make our feed a neuro-affirming place to be!

A graphic that reads 'for desktop, Android tablet and phone: explanations, tips & tricks, resources to share, videos, workbooks, posters and more...', with images of the app in use in various ways, on a tablet, computer screen and phone, and as a print-out.

We're grateful to our supporters in the North East of England, who've tried out the app, taken it home to their families, and sent us their feedback. We couldn't have done it without you!

A graphic which reads 'coming soon; fraut, an app for parents of autistic kids. find us online at fraut.co.uk'.

After a year in development, the fraut app for parents and carers of autistic kids is almost ready for release!
We've received 5* feedback from all of our tester groups, so it's time for us to send fraut out into the world.
