@sianharries_ 🫂I once got to the top of a dept store escalator to be met by the sight of a mannequin wearing the same type of camel winter coat and red scarf that my mum favoured. Since my Dad, it’s the sight of an older gent wearing smart trousers, coins jangling in pockets. And Polo mints.

@your_nd_coach @ADHDerBiologist https://t.co/3TRaz5Hzic have material you can buy and Velcro stickies so you can cut to size.

@veggiebrekkie @SophieLongley4 I can’t speak for the OP but sometimes uncertainty, not being in control and the sensory overwhelm and social communication impact of autism can be quite incapacitating in a high pressure interview situation, causing shutdown and panic. Qs in advance are now more commonplace.

@SophieLongley4 Additionally, is the institution a Disability Confident employer/member of the Business Disability Forum? This might afford you some additional protection against potential discrimination.

@SophieLongley4 Hi Sophie, I work in HE as a careers practitioner. We routinely suggest this as a reasonable adjustment for candidates protected under the equality act 2010. Qs in advance much more common now: https://t.co/71JOHHr28h.

@silverpebble Heard it! What was the ‘chip chip’ noisier bird call masking it please?

[Helen Fauset 💙 @HelenFauset]

@your_nd_coach I quite like mine but I can imagine for some people it is intolerable

[Helen Fauset 💙 @HelenFauset]

@your_nd_coach Yes it does thank you! V interesting. And congratulations btw.

[Helen Fauset 💙 @HelenFauset]

@samuel_d_bell @your_nd_coach Yes! I play piano mostly by ear and do this. Or I select certain phrases from pieces of music and replay them in my head with full orchestra/band. Sometimes I don’t realise it’s happening, it’s almost unconscious. I also assumed everyone did this!

@K_IngalaSmith I can recommend photographing everything? That way you can remember so much but not have to carry the weight of everything. I also have a keepsake box with things I couldn’t let go of: Mum’s perfume, scarf. Dad’s glasses, wallet. But photos of everything else. Go gently x
