Hosted by Emergent Divergence: The neurodivergent ramblings of David Gray-Hammond joined by me Ausome Charlie with Erin Ekins Queerly Autistic and Katie Munday Autistic and living the dream.

We explain the work of AIM For The Rainbow including how it all started, celebrating 2,000 Facebook followers, and events we have coming up soon.

Charlie talks about Iggy’s Initiative, and Iggy Rocks UK #IggyRocks #DifferentIsOK in memory of her son Iggy. Charlie also talks us through how to paint life-affirming Iggy Rocks to help celebrate what would have been Iggy’s 20th birthday on 8 September, but he is forever 15 💔

Finally we update on the petition started by Emma Dalmayne, which has over 201K signatures, about CAMHS routinely discriminating against autistic kids with mental health struggles, and our protest about this in Downing Street, 1-3:30pm on 13 September.
