We were delighted to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to the Pears Building in Hampstead this morning. She was very impressed with the beautiful building and the incredible work of the @iit_ucl researchers. We spoke about the power of co-locating researchers alongside clinicians.

This may be the hardest decision we've ever had to make at @AutisticaUK and we didn't make it lightly. There was no easy answer. We exist to improve autism research and the best way to improve this grant was to be part of it.

We know that some of you are concerned and we’re sorry to have caused anxiety or distress to anyone. This project is not perfect and neither are we. But we believe that it is better because we are involved.

Just spent an hour at an infant school disco where kids were also blowing whistles nonstop. The behaviour was still more grown-up and less aggravating than the cynicism, self-promotion and destructiveness of some of our MPs.
