‘When I'm at school, I get crumpled up like a bit of paper and when I get home, I can unfold but the creases are still there.’

We spoke to @LibbyBlog about what it’s like going to school as an autistic person and what advice she would give to listeners https://t.co/f8njNd26Fw

A message for you and your child:

This is a little reminder to be gentle with yourself when you're not feeling your best or you get something wrong. No one is perfect - and we all need to be supported from time to time. That's perfectly normal 💛

[Simon Baron-Cohen @sbaroncohen]

This is an extraordinary 5 min film. Autistic people who don’t use speech, communicating via devices about their sense of exclusion and vulnerability. Trigger warning: a scene shows traumatic restraint which you can skip. Aim for inclusion and let’s LISTEN https://t.co/3hKV4tHHKQ
