Fiona and Zoe from The Exchange team attended the BATOD Scotland conference last week, sharing strategies to support pupils experiencing anxiety and stress ๐
A valuable day of learning, collaboration and important conversations around wellbeing in education.
A name is never โjust a nameโ.
In this Love on the Spectrum moment, Madison becomes overwhelmed when her name is shortened.
For many autistic people, predictability, identity and clarity matter deeply.

We joined forces to support families over Easter in Argyll & Bute. Our BEAR Creative Writing sessions were a great opportunity to connect with the local community and support those with a family member in the Armed Forces.

We asked young people to describe their counselling experience in one word - and their answers say it all ๐
Together, weโre building confidence, resilience, and hope.

ADHD doesnโt always look how you think, especially in girls. Many mask, daydream or push through exhaustion just to keep up. Often meaning years of missed support and misunderstood behaviour. We help families spot the signs and create strategies that work: https://t.co/NTOOqhlrIQ
ADHD brains can struggle with attention shifts, working memory, and transitions. Itโs not defiance, itโs overload.
Understanding this can transform family dynamics. When we replace frustration with curiosity, we create connection, not conflict.

Behind every โI canโtโ is a story worth understanding.
At The Exchange, we help children and families explore the why - building emotional tools, confidence and connection so school becomes a place they can return to, not retreat from
ADHD isnโt always loud or disruptive - it can show up in many different ways, and itโs often misunderstood ๐

School attendance can be a real challenge for many children - especially when anxiety or overwhelm are part of the picture ๐ฑ
Instead of focusing on what went wrong, try celebrating small wins and positive emotions: calmness, courage, effort ๐

Why do neurodivergent brains struggle with sleep? ๐ค
Many autistic and ADHD people have a delayed melatonin release โ itโs not bad habits, itโs biology. Focus on rhythm, calm, and comfort, not fixing. Rest looks different for every brain.
