@mcrartgallery @AndrewPBrooks burden. I'm sure these sessions are fantastic and many (nonautistic) parents won't see a problem with the wording, but it would be great if you would consider addressing this.

@abigoliah Really looking forward to the next one!

[Spells Against Civilisation @Spells_Against]

Enjoying this while working in the studio today (after a big tidy up so I can actually see what materials I have again!).

[Spells Against Civilisation @Spells_Against]
