Interesting - state they are going to bring in 'experts in neurodiversity'? Wonder who they think that might be?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

@Tayloredword read your marvellous piece. Brave indeed of you to confront.

All set up for two days of professional learning sessions for staff working in and with schools in Orkney ⁦@OrkneyCouncil⁩ ⁦@AffirmingScot⁩ ⁦@ScotGovEdu⁩ ⁦@scotgovhealth⁩

[NAITScotland @NAITScotland]

What a day! Thank you to our friends and Education and Health colleagues in Orkney for such a positive response to Key Messages and taking steps towards being a neuro-affirming community 😊

[Jean Kocemba @embajay]

And splendid it was to have you @NAITScotland

[NAITScotland @NAITScotland]

A lovely last working morning in Orkney, with coffee, home made cake, chat about neurodevelopmental pathways and camaraderie! 😊

Our great friend and colleague, the late Pip StJohn was one of a kind. She created some fantastically useful pre-teaching vocabulary resources. Evidence based and free. Check them out here: https://t.co/oWuTffgJyZ

@qwertee But it makes no grammatical sense 🤦🏻‍♀️

@JanelleLMccurdy @FaberChildrens @AnaLatese Pre-ordered for my 11 year old who is utterly chuffed to find out you’re an anime loving gamer like her.

@MorrisonBeth are you able to help bring awareness to Megan’s plight? She’s in the William Fraser in Edinburgh and is scared and hurt https://t.co/g7VegxanON

"Findings..many autistic children felt misunderstood by their teachers & peers, wt many freq experiencing bullying...Supporting school relationships & fostering a sense of belonging is therefore a clear implication...for inclusive educational policies for autistic pupils."

[Jean Kocemba @embajay]

@Hinton_House @DrTinarae May I enquire why you are still using person first language, against the wishes of the autistic community? Ditto “ASD”. This is not neuro-affirming language. Were any #actuallyautistic girls or clinicians consulted in the creation of this pack?

[Jean Kocemba @embajay]

@stephendeazley we’re all buzzing at teatime after #rhythmofstones. Gorgeous music, goosebumps! The way you got the best out of the kids was sublime. I hope they all keep playing the Assipattle clapping game. #proudmum #stmagfest
