@AutisticCoach_ @hmm_cook Many thanks! I imagine he’ll be signing up with you in a decade☺️

@simranchhugani You’re amazing and will be an awesome FY2. But I’m afraid you’ll have this realisation at every step in your career, culminating in the realisation that you will never know it all… none of us do!

To any autistic adults able to help… what advice do you wish your parents were given when you were young? I’d like to do better for my son. Thanks x

@RoshanaMN It gets easier when you’re a consultant. Still not easy at all, but easier than it is now. A fixed workplace, regular clinical commitments and far more control, it’s a dream compared with training. The job is amazing and you will thrive, as will your kids xxx

@ConcreteNavajo Thank you. Thankfully I’m happy and have lots of love & support so I’m doing my best to focus on my family for now… though, you’re right, you’ve got to look after yourself to be able to help others!
