Navigating a jeopardising career on the thin blue line of ability vs disability
Some populations experience inequalities, including issues of gaining and retaining employment. One group impacted are neurodivergent individuals. This is pertinent in careers that carry higher demands, like policing. We interviewed 37 neurodivergent police officers and staff about their careers. Analysis created five themes: (1) self-identity, relating to how they saw themselves in terms of their autism or ADHD; (2) revealing their condition, wi…
Ideological dilemmas of policing on the spectrum
In the context of autism and ADHD, tensions exist between medical and social model framings of disability. This article explores neurodivergent police accounts of how aspects of their conditions intersect with their occupational identity and what this means for a disability positioning. Using critical discursive psychology, we illuminate three ideological dilemmas from reflective interviews with 37 autistic police or those with ADHD: (1) tensions…
The views of psychiatrists on proposed changes to the England and Wales Mental Health Act 1983 legislation for people with intellectual disability
BACKGROUND: The Draft Mental Health Bill proposes removal of both intellectual disability and autism from Section 3 of the Mental Health Act for England and Wales (MHA). This would lead to people with intellectual disability (PwID) and/or autism could not be detained beyond 28 days, in the absence of diagnosed co-occurring mental illness. AIM: To obtain views of psychiatrists working with PwID in England and Wales regarding the proposed MHA chang…
Sublime and extended reality experiences to enhance emotional wellbeing for autistic people
Background: Sublime is a centuries old concept of emergent experience arising from immense and threatening awareness provoked by overwhelming fear and dread when faced with an incomprehensible situation as is common to autistic people. Extended Reality (XR) technologies have been used since the mid-1990s, in regulating emotions, behaviour and supporting social skill development for autistic people. Aims: To understand utility of XR technologies i…
Understanding the current provisions of support for people with an intellectual disabilities and/or autism in crisis
Background: There has been significant reduction in inpatient beds for people with intellectual disability and/or autism (PwID/A) in the UK in the last decade following high profile national scandals in specialist psychiatric hospitals. To reduce inappropriate admissions a new strategy (Blue-Light, an emergency multi-disciplinary meeting to prevent admission to hospital) was introduced. However, there is no research on the influence of Blue-Light…
The long-term psycho-social impact of the pandemic on people with intellectual disability and their carers
Background: People with intellectual disabilities (PWID) are at six times higher risk of death due to COVID-19. To mitigate harm, as a high-risk group, significant social changes were imposed on PWID in the UK. Alongside these changes, the uncertainty of the pandemic influence, caused PWID and their carers to encounter significant stress. The evidence of the pandemic’s psycho-social impact on PWID originates mainly from cross-sectional surveys co…
