I have made a 20 minute video of my talk at the Autism Show yesterday on the topic of recovering from burnout.

It is aimed at autistic young people, but parents and professionals said it was helpful for them too.

Can you help James and his family raise money to save a music project for neurodivergent people in the SW? Good Luck on your walk James, I hope it doesn’t rain TOO much! 🥾

[John Harris @johnharris1969]

And so it begins. Our son James is autistic & really musical. With me & his sister, he's walking Hadrian's Wall to help a brilliant charitable musical project for neurodivergent people. We're in Carlisle. It will rain. 70miles to go. Pls donate if you can https://t.co/1nEqNVmF8g

Most people need love and acceptance much more than they need advice

Eliza, an illustrator who used drawing to process her emotions around her family’s awful experiences of school trauma, is offering a webinar on how you might draw your story (even if you can’t draw!) ✍️

[Missing The Mark @_MissingTheMark]

What I learnt early on was my rage and sadness in those emails went unanswered.
I felt exposed, I had shared with those who were not going to hear what I said.
So I began to draw, first with no aim at all. I drew old photos before all this happened to us.1/

[Pebble Autism @PebbleAutism]

Just sharing because it’s so utterly beautiful

[Thomas Penny @ThomasWPenny]

Just back from a wonderful poetry reading at my children's school.
This was one of my daughter's contributions to the evening.
I know I will never have the vision to write anything as beautiful as "I will unbutton the sea from the sky..."
(Thank you @CalebParkin for guiding her)

[Pebble Autism @PebbleAutism]

@ThomasWPenny @CalebParkin That’s absolutely beautiful. What a gift.

[Missing The Mark @_MissingTheMark]

Got my copy! Out June 21st I’m so happy to share the next book I’ve doodled for @LauraKerbey ❤️❤️❤️
So much insight and an authentic voice for young people to relate to.
Demand avoidant or not this will be invaluable to every neurodivergent household raising a teen.

@_kasthomas Hopefully those are for the benefit of staff, not patients

[Autistic Girls Network @AutisticGirls_]

Tests aren't the ultimate measure of success & they don't define our worth. Our minds are unique & our strengths go far beyond what can be measured on a test paper. There are alternative paths to success that work for our strengths & interests. #Autism

[Pebble Autism @PebbleAutism]

@your_nd_coach Wonder whether @MsJoBillington @HollytheOT @KieranRose7 @spacedoutsmiles or @ElaineMcgreevy might be able to help?

[Pebble Autism @PebbleAutism]

@CathyWassell @BristolUni @AutisticGirls_ @lauralhull @SedgewickF Amazing! Where do you get your energy?!!

[Pebble Autism @PebbleAutism]

We’re so grateful that Eliza’s timely and influential book is getting the recognition it deserves

[Missing The Mark @_MissingTheMark]

Chuffed to bits. 💕

@MrLeeDaviid @KieranRose7 It can also be more subtle/insidious. I’ve observed teachers giving positive reinforcement to autistic pupils when they’ve forced themselves to look at the teacher.

[Pebble Autism @PebbleAutism]

@MrLeeDaviid @KieranRose7 I work in assessment & have met a lot of autistic children & young people. “Look at me (/when I’m talking to you)” is used commonly. All your own personal experience teaches you is that it has not happened to you/ have not heard it said. I’ve seen it firsthand in schls too

@your_nd_coach Hi, I’m not sure that link is working, I opened it and it looks spammy?
