Our team at Oxford ADHD & Autism Centre recently took part in the Workplace 5K Challenge in support of the National Autistic Society.

Held in Headington, the event brought colleagues together to raise funds and awareness for autism, contributing to work that helps transform lives and improve understanding.

We’re pleased to share that, thanks to the support of those who donated and encouraged the team, we have raised over £1,000 and exceeded our original fundraising target.

The donation page remains open for anyone who would still like to contribute: https://www.justgiving.com/team/oac

TW: this post mention domestic abuse, please read with care🧡

Sadly, between March 2023 and March 2024, an estimated 2.3 million people aged 16 and over were victims of domestic abuse, 1.6 million of which were women and girls. At its most extreme, women are at the highest risk of fatal domestic violence in the UK and globally.

Raising awareness is an important first step. If this topic affects you, you are not alone, and support is available.

Helping an autistic child sleep soundly through the night can be challenging for many families. Difficulties with falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting enough rest are very common, so you and your child are certainly not alone.

These sleep issues can stem from differences in melatonin production, sensory sensitivities, or co-occurring conditions such as ADHD or epilepsy, which means there is rarely one single cause.

Check out our latest post for practical tips and insights on supporting better sleep.

It is important to understand the nature of ADHD, and the challenges it can bring, for a range of people, including women, girls and marginalised groups. While many ADHD symptoms are common across groups, some have previously been under-recognised. For many, a later-in-life diagnosis can offer clarity, help them understand themselves and allow them to access the right support.

Gaming can be a source of joy, connection, and achievement. It can also feel overwhelming or difficult to step away from at times.

As the nights draw in, we are opening up conversations about how gaming can support men’s mental health, and when it might be time to pause and reflect.

How does gaming fit into your life?

There are three main types of ADHD, and understanding which one fits your experience can make a real difference.

The three types are inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive, and combined. Each can look different from person to person, but all are valid experiences of ADHD. Recognising these differences helps ensure the right support is in place.

Recovery from autistic burnout is slow and non-linear. A short break is rarely enough. For many people, it can take weeks or months to rebuild energy, depending on the level of exhaustion and persistence of environmental stressors.⁠ ⁠

Autistic burnout is unlikely to ease if the same triggers remain. Reassessing work, social demands, and daily routines can help ensure they better support your strengths and needs.

Stimming plays an important role in mental health, helping neurodivergent people meet their sensory needs and support emotional and sensory regulation.

Being free to stim is important for wellbeing. Suppressing can contribute to feelings of overload, and autistic meltdowns and shutdowns.
