Autistic burnout “is grossly under-recognized, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and prevention.” What we need are valid measures—to determine accurate prevalence, inform effective diagnosis, and get people appropriate support. Per new research: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/au…
In our new paper, 63% of the autistic adults who were currently experiencing #AutisticBurnout (n=76) said they'd had thoughts of suicide or self-harm in the previous 2 weeks. So important to explore this relationship further. doi.org/10.1002/aur.31… International Society for Autism Research, INSAR Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre (OTARC)
Next up I am chairing a panel "Advancing Measurement of Mental Health and Wellbeing in #Autistic Adults" on Saturday 18th May 10.30-12.30pm with Dr. Iliana Magiati as discussant. Presentation schedule below 👇
