A LinkedIn post reminded me that I don’t suffer from the Monday morning dread now.

After many years of feeling like Eeyore why not?

Do you ever find yourself on one side of a debate that shouldn’t’ exist? I have never claimed to speak on behalf of autistic people. After 30 years of working with autistic people, I do have some experience and useful knowledge to share.

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.
