An eye-opener of a day visiting the new neurodiversity wing @HMPPentonville . Listening, engagement, education; just a few ways positive change is already being made to prisoners with autism and other neurodiverse conditions.

How does #autism begin? Researchers funded by ART have been discovering how the brain develops in the first weeks of life, which could help us better understand autism! 🧠 #Autism #AutismResearch

Mounting evidence that a common tool to test for #autism isn't sufficient. It is so important that we continuously test these tools so that nobody falls through the gaps or gets misdiagnosed. #AutismResearch via @Spectrum

We all know that it’s important to identify effective services for #autistic adults. A new study highlights this, via @NewsMedical #Autism #AutismResearch

Study underscores the importance of identifying effective services for adults with autism

While much attention has been paid to the increasing prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among U.S. children and adolescents, less is known about the population of adults with ASD.
