    London Autism show 16th June 2017

    Tessa Halliwell, a UK Autism provider, in a multipurpose sensory room at the

    Autism Show in London.

    Tessa and Georgina Dunlop, both UK Davis Autism Providers, attended London’s

    Autism Show on 16th June. They reported that there were some great products and

    some great speakers. Prof. Francesca Happé spoke about girls and autism.

    Explaining how the difference in incidence between boys and girls could be due to

    bias in the diagnostic questioning. Here is a link to an info leaflet

    http://www.nasen.org.uk/utilities/download.D7B94242-69B6-48DF-97A30FDCD4EB2BB4.html

    Some excellent leaflets from Research Autism and Autism West Midlands were full

    of helpful hints to parents on a variety of issues. Their book reviewing the research

    studies of common interventions reveals the limitations of the research process and

    evaluates the evidence supporting common interventions. A very useful ‘Questions

    to consider when choosing an Autism intervention’ guide is available from them

    too.

    They listened to Dame Stephanie Shirley, who has personally funded research at

    several universities and set up two schools for autistics. Demonstrated was an

    interactive robot that responds only when eye contact is made. We chatted to her

    afterwards and gave her a copy of the book: Nurturing the Seeds of Change. 

     They bought some whizzy spinny things and even more whizzy liquid timers and

    explored a sensory tent.

    They took with them the book that explains the the Davis approach to Autism

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autism-Seeds-Change-Achieving-Participation/dp/1479373346

    which attracted much positive interest.
