Verbatim

“Between us, every week we assess people who present with what is sometimes called "internalised" autism: people who make eye contact, hold down demanding jobs and have spent decades being told, like Abigail Stow (who featured in Harris's article), that they "can't possibly be autistic".”

Recent UK press coverage of their topics, not necessarily citing them directly.

Professors, researchers and think-tank analysts quoted on the strength of their research rather than a clinical role. Citations are counted by an automated scan of UK press coverage and may be incomplete. Roles, biographies and contact details are researched and human-reviewed before they appear here; anything not yet reviewed is simply absent rather than shown unverified.
