For any profession or organisation involved in supporting autistic people, conversations around neurodiversity and the lived realities of neurodivergent people are essential.

This Learning Disability Week, we’re invited to reflect on a powerful question: Do you see me?

Last week, members of the PSG team joined colleagues from across the health and care system at NHS Confed Expo 2025. As ever, it was a valuable opportunity to listen, learn and connect – and to reflect on how we can continue working together to improve support for people with the most complex behavioural and mental health needs.

At Positive Support Group (PSG), we work every day with people who have some of the most complex behavioural and wellbeing-related needs in the country. And every day, we see the consequences of a system that still too often places people in the wrong setting, far from home, and for far too long.

We’ve recently conducted some analysis of NHS reported data, which explores the scale of these issues and what needs to change.

This past weekend, Positive Support Group was proud to present at the Positive Practices International Conference in Los Angeles, arranged by the IABA Research and Education Foundation.

In recent weeks, Positive Support Group (PSG) has been featured in both The Times and HuffPost UK – highlighting a significant rise in emergency hospital admissions among autistic children.

This month, we caught up with Sandeep Mahay, Trainee Behaviour Analyst, to hear about his experiences within Positive Support Now (PSN) – PSG’s flexible and responsive PBS service.
