So sometimes you hear these called autistic glimmers, and they're really, really important for well-being.

Um, to be honest, I feel very privileged to be in a position I'm in, being able to do research with the autistic community, because the kind of research I'm doing right now

is more where I'm studying topics that historically haven't really been talked about.

People haven't really asked autistic people, you know, what's really going on with your menopause or your suicidal experiences.

So the research I'm trying to do is more bringing to light what autistic people

are experiencing.

I feel very, very, very lucky to, as an autistic person, be able to do that.

It's really, really difficult.

And it changes very slow to come.

In the UK, we're doing a lot, everything we can to engage with policymakers because, of course,

your everyday person on the street, we can all do small things and we can all behave differently towards autistic people in our lives and people who might be autistic.

We can all be kinder.

But to achieve systemic change, we absolutely need to go after the policymakers, so to speak.

We need to demand better for our autistic loved ones.

It is.

There's no simple answer, unfortunately, but you're right.

Oh, very difficult.

Great question.

I'm just trying to think of my most top answer.
