The recommendations of the POSTnote launched today on support for neurodivergent children overlap with the findings of our community priority setting project in recommending a need for co-production. This demonstrates the broad need for co-production across the full range of neurodevelopmental and neurodivergent conditions. Our report: Shape Research, Change Lives: setting priorities in genetic syndrome research. We recommend that: research is informed by people with lived experience, in areas prioritised by community members; and that research findings are easy to access so that people can use research to assist real life decisions.

As healthcare professionals, we celebrate Autistic Pride Day, an annual occasion dedicated to recognizing the unique strengths, talents, and perspectives of individuals on the autism spectrum. This day holds significance in promoting acceptance, inclusivity, and respect for the autistic community. On this day, we join autistic individuals, their families, and advocates in: - Acknowledging the remarkable achievements and invaluable contributions of those on the autism spectrum across various fields. - Advocating for equal opportunities, inclusive environments, and amplifying autistic voices in healthcare and society. - Fostering a sense of pride, empowerment, and solidarity within the neurodivergent community. This year's theme is "Embracing Authentic Selves" – Emphasizing the importance of accepting and celebrating the natural behaviours and expressions of autistic individuals, free from societal pressures or expectations. You have to recognize the importance of understanding and supporting the unique needs of autistic individuals throughout their lives. By promoting awareness, advocating for inclusive practices, and providing tailored care, we can create a more accepting and supportive environment for the autistic community. #AutisticPrideDay #Neurodiversity #InclusiveHealthcare #AcceptanceForAll
