I didn't get all my GCSEs (not Maths or Sciences)
I didn't go to university.
My furniture and wallpaper designs were stocked internationally including Liberty London.
I was in design magazines, even on a front cover.
Now I am an author.
Grades were not my entry or my barrier.

When we talk about our / our young person’s autism & are faced with the head tilt & “I’m sorry.” Whether it’s well-meaning or misinformed we need to spread the message that we are talking difference not deficit & we should be celebrating the joys of individuality. #Autism
