🚨Call for speakers!🚨
I'm arranging informal lunchtime seminars throughout 2024 about equality, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, belonging and supporting diverse students and staff in HE.
Researchers/practitioners: if you'd like to share and promote your work, DM me!
6 yo “when I have babies will they be autistic?”
Me “can’t say for sure. But I’m autistic. You’re autistic. So it’s likely”
6 yo “what will we do if they’re neurotypical?”
Me: “we’ll still love them”
6 yo: “yeah. Nanna’s neurotypical, we love her”
Diverse role models 💛
@UniNorthants student;

@rjhowe Thank YOU for wanting to implement change and understand how an educational establishment can actively support neurodivergents better - it is the best step to start being positively impactful.
Also, thank you for inviting me to provide that autistic perspective🙌🏻
Massive thanks to @UoN_Elle for coming to the LLSS Student Forum this week and providing a really personal insight into living with Autism and how organisations need to better support individuals (although some progress is being made) 🥳🎉🙏
Being a presenter isn’t me - but for you, I will share the perspective of an autistic student.
If you feel that yourself or your team would benefit having this insight, do pop me a message, comment or email🙌🏻
The significance of this message is; the support, and guidance I have received from @UniNorthants and @northampton_su, whether that be being pushed out my comfort zone to be the best representative or though academic support, it’s made me into the person I am today.
8 years ago, I wouldn’t talk to anyone.
6 years ago, I accepted I found communicating & interacting highly challenging.
3 years ago, I joined @UniNorthants & everything changed for the better.
This week, I presented representative training & autistics students perspective…
‘Teachers’ perceptions of their confidence in teaching autistic children’.
I am looking for primary teachers to complete my anonymous questionnaire for my dissertation in my BA Primary Education degree at the University of Northampton. Thank you!
