All I want for Christmas… is apps!

Blog, Techy stuffBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonDecember 13, 2013

I’m hoping there are a few last minute shoppers out there because here, at last, is my promised blog post on the best apps to buy for your wee ones this Christmas. This is broken down into two age-groups – a Christmas stocking for pre-school children and a Christmas stocking for primary-aged kids. 

Autistic friendships – what’s the right context?

Autism, BlogBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonDecember 5, 2013

This is a quick blog post and an appeal for feedback from the autism community.  Unlike other posts, I’m going to open this one for comments (assuming it has worked which I’m not sure about…). 

What do parents want from research and are they getting it?

BlogBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonDecember 4, 2013

As described in this previous post, my recently-completed Click-East project was wrapped up with a tea party for families who took part. As well sharing our findings and just generally getting together for a natter, the tea party was a chance for me to find out what these parents felt should be a priority for research in the…

Helpful Hints for Parents – and outcomes from the Click-East study

Autism, Blog, Techy stuffBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonOctober 7, 2013

A couple of weeks ago I held a little tea party for participants and supporters of the Click-East project which has been my main focus (read: all encompassing obsession) for the past 3 years. 

What will autism research look like in forty years’ time?

Autism, Blog, General rantBy Sue Fletcher-WatsonSeptember 27, 2013

It started when, earlier this year, a gay man was appointed as chief executive officer of the American Psychiatric Association.  Like many, I was  delighted to see that Dr Saul Levin was heading up an organisation which, only forty years previously had categorised homosexuality as a mental illness.
