Nine minds : inner lives on the spectrum
A Japanese researcher in psychology sets out to measure loneliness while drawing on her own experience of autism. A quirky boy growing up in 1950s Ottawa sows the seeds of his future Hollywood stardom. In the US, a non-verbal man explores body language, gesture by eloquent gesture, in his mother's yoga classes. 'Nine Minds' delves into the extraordinary lives of nine neurodivergent men and women from around the globe. From a Fields Medal-winning mathematician to a murder detective, a pioneering surgeon to a bestselling novelist, each is remarkable in their field, and each is changing how the world sees those on the spectrum. Exploding the tired stereotypes of autism, Daniel Tammet - acclaimed author and an autistic savant himself - reaches across the divides of age, gender, sexuality and nationality to draw out the inner worlds of his subjects.

Afscheid nemen van de Homo philosophicus
Maar volgens het Trimbos-instituut heeft bijna de helft van alle Nederlanders die nu leven ooit een psychische stoornis gehad (48%), daarvan had 29% een angststoornis, 28% een stemmingsstoornis en 17% een middelenstoornis. Neurodiversiteit kan een filosoof dus niet zomaar aan de kant schuiven als irrelevant, ook niet wanneer niet direct duidelijk is wat de meerwaarde ervan is. Dat betekent natuurlijk niet dat we alle normen ten aanzien van logisch redeneren en waarnemen overboord gooien, maar met een paar voorbeelden wordt hopelijk helder wat er te winnen valt met een neurodiverse wending in de filosofie. Dit alles confronteert heel direct met vragen over ‘het bestaan’, ‘de werkelijkheid’ en ‘het zijn’ en hoe abstracte filosofische denkbeelden in de praktijk niet helpen om uit een dergelijk conflict te komen. Zorgvuldig luisteren en kijken naar personen met een stoornis binnen het autistisch spectrum maakt duidelijk aan hoeveel prikkels wij continu zijn blootgesteld. Wat relevant geacht wordt, wordt waargenomen en de rest wordt onbewust door de eigen hersenen onderdrukt. Het Trimbos geeft geen aantallen voor filosofen, dus we weten niet hoeveel filosofen nu neurodivergent denken of dit onderdrukken. Academische en toegepaste filosofie kunnen we nog steeds beter aan rationele, welopgeleide volwassenen overlaten. De filosofie ontleent haar kracht aan het stellen van ongemakkelijke vragen, het uitdiepen van concepten, het verkennen van het denken zelf. Hoewel er in hoeken van de filosofie ruimte lijkt te zijn voor het problem of other minds, een bijzondere hoogleraar Psychiatrie & Filosofie en er zelfs een Waanzin Festival was (en terugkomt?), signaleer ik dat de filosofie in brede zin zich onvoldoende realiseert welke uitsluiting en normativiteit het gevolg is van het onbewust hanteren van een Homo philosophicus. Zij studeert aan de Hogeschool van Toegepaste Filosofie en is lid van MIND Ypsilon, een organisatie voor naasten van mensen met psychische kwetsbaarheid.

130 Putting the Child First: An Audit of Social Story Use Across A Clinic Supporting Neurodivergent Children at GOSH
BackgroundChildren and young people (CYP) with neurodivergent profiles often experience anxiety when attending unfamiliar clinical settings. Social stories are visual, and narrative tools designed to prepare CYP for new experiences, reduce anxiety, and support understanding. At Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), where the value of ‘putting the child first and always’ is central, we aimed to evaluate whether this principle is upheld using social stories. This audit explored the consistency of social story provision across the Neurodevelopmental Assessment Clinic (NAC) in the Neurodisability Service.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective audit of all new assessments to NAC over three months. Electronic patient records were reviewed to determine whether a social story was sent prior to the initial in-person appointment. Demographic data including age, diagnosis, and communication needs were collected to identify patterns in provision. The audit was carried out by occupational therapists and clinical administrators.ResultsPreliminary findings suggest variability in the use of social stories. Early data indicates that while some CYP consistently received social stories, others did not. We anticipate identifying gaps in provision and potential disparities based on clinic or referral pathway.ConclusionThis audit highlights the importance of preparing neurodivergent CYP before they enter the hospital environment. By improving consistency in social story provision, we can extend care beyond hospital walls and ensure children are supported from the moment their journey begins.

Autism and neurodiversity: a new paradigm
Sue Fletcher-Watson holds a Personal Chair in Developmental Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, and is Director of the Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre. She is interested in how children grow and learn, with a particular focus on development, neurodiversity and autism across the lifespan. Her work draws on rigorous methods from psychology and applies these to questions with clinical, educational and societal impact. She strives to achieve meaningful partnerships with community representatives and to support neurodivergent leadership in research. She is an advocate for open science and good citizenship in research, and serves as Co-Director of Research Ethics for the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine.AbstractNeurodiversity is a simple, incontrovertible scientific fact, and yet the implications of this concept are both profound and radical. In this talk I will briefly examine how we have attempted to define, diagnose and support autistic people to date, showing the failings of these approaches. I will then go on to define neurodiversity and three core tenets of the neurodiversity paradigm. I will directly address some of the myths around neurodiversity, drawing on the work of prominent neurodivergent scholars to provide a solid basis for understanding. In the second half of the talk, I will then explore the potential of a neurodiversity paradigm to improve how we identify and provide support to autistic people. I will work through the implications of neurodiversity for clinical diagnostic and therapeutic practice, including a specific rebuttal of concerns that the neurodiversity movement is aligned with an anti-psychiatry position. I will ask: what would neurodiversity-affirmative services look like? And why and how should we create them?
