It is with great sadness that we announce the death of MQ’s CEO Lea Milligan who passed away following a sudden illness on Monday the 15th of April.

Huge fans of this new Top Ten from @EmbraceComplex which is unique (and important) in being framed around the shared priorities of neurodivergent people - rather than specific needs linked to a diagnosis.

We know people diagnosed with ADHD and autism, known as #AuDHD, experience unique strengths and challenges.
This article does a great job of shining a light on this complex intersection and the need for tailored support. What do you think?

9 in 10 autistic people have sensory differences, but the public spaces we use every day are not built with neurodivergent people's needs in mind.
Released today, the Autistica #InclusiveSpaces Plan sets out how we'll make public spaces more inclusive. autistica.org.uk/news/inclus…

We know health checks are already successful for those with a #LearningDisability. But our research shows that a tailored check for autistic people without a learning disability could be beneficial.
