Is the autism training market saturated?  This is the allegation that was made against me last week with the implication I should step aside in favour of autistic-led services/organisations/people.

‘Neurotypicalism’  - (seen in a LinkedIn post)  another new neuro- word for me to get my head around. There seems to be a new one every week. 

I recently read an interesting paper that was recommended to me about the re-institutionalisation of people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people.

Belongingness: apparently is the ‘human need to be a member of a group’.  We all have different motivations and levels of desire to belong to a group.

One of the common ways that we label ourselves, is by the job we do, our professional status.

Putting people in boxes is a basic human instinct. It’s how we try to understand other people. We do it to ourselves, labels that we identify ourselves by.

At last, not wearing a suit or tie at work is cool! What exceptions would I make, a funeral maybe, getting my OBE? Probably! But not much else.

Overused phrase Number 4.
Yes, I understand the importance of people being central to everything that affects them.
