I keep blue windscreen washer in an old AdBlue (diesel exhaust fluid) tub and leave it on my drive by my porch. One day someone stole it and I take great pleasure in knowing they've filled their vehicle with windscreen washer instead of AdBlue.
@PostcodeLottery @DurhamEnable and bridge creative....look at our incredible team! And this isn't everyone. Feeling very blessed. Huge thanks for your support. Words aren't enough. π
Finding out that wax therapy isn't just a great #sensory experience, that in fact the balls you can make out of the wax afterwards make excellent wall art. #regulation#autistic#seewhatsticks
Jewellery to hold my loop in place. Loop earbud for the #sensoryprocessing problem. Jewellery for the executive dysfunctional part of me that forgets or loses them π. Love my #Christmaspresent!

Had amazing meeting with bridge creative last week about employment of folk with learning disabilities. I can't wait to explore this further! This is really exciting.

We're lucky enough to be launching emotional wellbeing sessions for autistic children, young people and their families in the Newton Aycliffe area.
The pic is by my 3yo. Pretty sure he's autistic too π so proud of all my kids.

I love finding places that are great sensory venues, but I don't have to spend 8 hours cleaning my carpet afterwards! Brilliant couple of hours spent at hamsterly forest #summerholidays#thingstodo#sensoryplay
Heat, and vulnerable people! What are the risks? π
Additionally, those with neurological problems such as stroke or spinal cord injury any also struggle to regulate temperature!!

ANYONE who has a TRAUMATIC HEAD INJURY, DEMENTIA or is AUTISTIC could be at risk of interoception problems.
This means they may not be able to tell if they're THIRSTY or HOT π₯π₯΅. Please take extra care with those who need it. Please share π

This wouldn't have happened without the brilliant Sam McCormick at Learning a New Way. She planned everything and did a visual stories video so people would know what to expect. Our FREE session on an introduction to autism went really well....and I loved delivering it.
