A parent once asked me ‘How many hours a week do you work?’
I replied proudly ‘ Oh we all for 39 hours a week’
Her response was ‘ I see … so you are all part-time?’

Someone asked me today when they are looking for autism training for their staff team (in a residential care setting), what are the most important things to include.

I am just back from a really rewarding experience delivering autism training in Estonia at the European School in Tallinn.

My interest has never been in autism training, to me it’s always been simply a good vehicle to have a positive impact.

I am facilitating the participant to understand, to reflect, and to find their own answers.

I went down another interesting internet rabbit hole today.

I noticed on LinkedIn someone who is a ‘Certified Neurodiversity Professional’.

My curiosity was tweaked.

Being exact and up-to-date with language and terminology is both important but also it can tie you into knots.

On social media I am seeing more and more opportunities for free autism training. Sounds great (except for those who run training businesses).

Who is really independent? We would all say that we want to be an independent individual. But what we really mean is we want the autonomy to choose what parts of our lives we want to be independent in.
