As April is Autism Acceptance Month, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of self-awareness and self-acceptance for autistic young people. For many, understanding what autism means to them as an individual can be life-changing, and that’s what I hope to achieve with Autism, Identity and Me: A Practical Workbook and Professional Guide to Empower Autistic Children and Young People Aged 10+. Together, we can help change the narrative and make self-acceptance and empowerment the standard. @Taylor & Francis Research Insights #AutismAcceptanceMonth #AutismAwareness https://lnkd.in/et4sz4G9

We are excited to announce that the pioneering publishing platform Open Research Africa has been extended to all authors in Africa! Researchers submitting to ORA are no longer required to have a grant from a partnering research funder. All articles with an author based in Africa can now be submitted, regardless of their funder. Previously, only work supported by an ORA partnering research funder could be published on the platform. ORA was launched in 2022 by F1000 and the Science for Africa Foundation to enable the rapid sharing, discovery, use and reuse of African research for the benefit of all, both in the region and globally. ORA uses F1000’s trailblazing publishing model, with a streamlined submission process that supports rapid publication of research outputs, accelerating the dissemination of knowledge and the pace of new discoveries. Open, post-publication peer review promotes understanding of the review and revision process, eliminating unnecessary editorial delays, and reducing peer review bias. Once published, all content on Open Research Africa is made available to everyone, everywhere, free-of-charge. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eCMw54i3 #OpenResearch

Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, we are highlighting a resource that stands at the forefront of positive change for autistic children and young people: Autism, Identity and Me: A Practical Workbook and Professional Guide to Empower Autistic Children and Young People Aged 10+. This unique and empowering resource offers more than just information—it provides the tools for autistic individuals to truly understand their identity and embrace who they are. This workbook, combined with the accompanying professional guide, supports children and young people in developing a positive, personalized understanding of their autistic identity. What makes this resource truly invaluable is its creation with input from autistic advisors and contributors, ensuring that it resonates with those who know this experience firsthand. This resource also equips parents, educators, and professionals with concrete strategies and conversation prompts, empowering them to support these young individuals on their unique journeys. As a publisher, we are proud to offer a tool that not only fosters understanding but also supports the mental health and wellbeing of autistic young people, helping to build higher self-esteem and resilience for their future.
