PsyArXiv Preprints | Experiences of Friendships Among Autistic Children in UK Schools: A Qualitative Meta-Synthesis.
PsyArXiv Preprints | Experiences of Friendships Among Autistic Children in UK Schools: A Qualitative Meta-Synthesis.
Friendships can be difficult for autistic children and therefore understanding their experiences is necessary to support successful and meaningful friendship development. The purpose of this systematic review is to synthesise qualitative findings on how autistic children experience friendships. Searches identified six studies exploring the friendship experiences of autistic children in UK primary school settings and their results were synthesised using thematic synthesis. Findings highlight the common and unique experiences of friendship among autistic children. Autistic children reported having a desire for friendships, with many particularly valuing shared interests and companionship, and it was evident that autistic children can and do make and maintain successful friendships. Autistic children across all settings spoke of what they believed friendship to be and their understanding of friendship differed from that of key adults, highlighting the importance of including autistic children themselves in the design and implementation of social support interventions. Autistic children in special schools appeared to face fewer challenges than peers in mainstream education. We also noted a clear want for more training and education on neurodiversity to increase understanding of the needs and wants of autistic children across all school settings.

Learn About the Harm of the “Resilience” Narrative
Michelle Owens, DO, says the term “resilience” “has been thrown around flippantly in relation to the physician community” during the COVID-19 pandemic. She believes the use of the term – and what it implies – is damaging to her profession.

We need federal commitment to increased, ongoing investment into long Covid. We need legislation that helps these families keep their houses, jobs and lives. We need public health campaigns focused on increasing awareness of this disease and its impacts.

BITE Voices | In defence of Comic Sans on Global Accessibility Awareness Day | Creativebrief
Comic Sans MS gets a bad rap. It’s not formal enough. Too ‘cartoony’. There have even been campaigns to ban it. Whether these criticisms are light-hearted or serious - and if they are serious, that says more about the critic than the typeface - doesn’t matter because, however you slice it, Comic Sans isn’t given the time of day.
