We've had a really tough time recruiting for this project, and would be SO grateful if any eligible people could spare some time to take part and/or if people could share our ad. It's such an important and under-studied topic - we really want to do it justice (pardon the pun!)
We are seeking legal professionals (barristers, judges, intermediaries etc) with experience of working with autistic adults in court/tribunals to take part in a research study interview. Info/take part: bit.ly/AutismCourtInterview autismincourt@bath.ac.uk

Very useful self advocacy phrases to teach #autistic children:
“I’d like a different choice.”
“I can’t think clearly here.”
“I want to think about it.”
“I don’t have the answer now.”
“That person makes me uncomfortable.”
“No means NO.”
