Just some examples of stimming. Self-stimulatory behaviour gives autistic individuals control over sensory stimuli & a way to regulate their emotions. Unless it's dangerous to someone's health it shouldn't be discouraged as it's a vital method of self-regulation #AutismAcceptance

This has certainly gone so far under the radar it might be subterranean! Carers and their rights need to be seen as high priority @SG_CarersPolicy - let this strategy be seen!

Earlier this year I was involved with this wonderful project https://t.co/gjQWmWCL7Y #RachelClive #LynndaWardle for @BeingHumanFest @UofGArts. I have learnt so much from everyone involved, connecting with rivers & water is such a powerful invitation.

Reflect on your experiences and learn from others next Wednesday as we look at the emotional side of creative health facilitation in this collaborative learning workshop

@h0pefulmummy So good to see this happening! There were 2 very smiley & relaxed young adults yesterday! And a great creative sensory session today too. 🤩

[Tracing Autonomy @tracingautonomy]

Fab day with @_stevenanderson reflecting on participatory practice + supported autonomy. Such a playful time using breath, sounds + voice. Steven added transitions, trust & numinous to the holistic terrain to deepen embodied understanding of care & autonomy. #autonomyofpractice

@chrisfremantle @tracingautonomy @nicolanaismith1 @achwscotland Yes it has Chris! As has play & the importance of having time to build trust & processes that support what is incomplete and uncontrollable. 😊
