"Autistic individuals may wish to use strategies to appear neurotypical and thus “fit in”. At the neurocognitive level, an individual has autism. But at the behavioural level, there may be a lack of observable autistic behaviour." elfi.sh/2P2pIqk New from @eloiseastark

😍Happy Birthday NHS😍 The National Elf Service loves the National Health Service! At 70 years old, you have some way to go to catch the Great Elf Mother who turned 700 the other day. She's seen a lot come and go in her time. Let's make sure you stick around!!! #NHS70

My blog about the @PBSstudy RCT. Unsatisfactory quality of functional assessments and behaviour support plans completed = PBS was not implemented as trained. Study indicates that specialist skills and dedicated time to complete in-depth work are key #PBS @PBS_chat @ABA_NUIG xitter.cf/LearningDisElf/status/…
Today @daveoregan reports on a recent cluster RCT in @TheBJPsych of staff training in positive behaviour support to reduce challenging behaviour in adults with intellectual disability. A study by @likahassiotis @drandrestrydom @IanHallPsych elfi.sh/2JxFwyb
