Does anyone know of any resources to help a young child with possible face blindness please? Or a UK OT who has experience of prosopagnosia who could help?
Why I don't use the phrases "high functioning" vs. "low functioning": Jason Arday was diagnosed with #autism as a child, didn't speak until he was 11, and didn't read or write until 18. Now he's going to be the youngest Black professor at @Cambridge_Uni. https://t.co/3HCodEjKAa
What a fantastic graduation ceremony at @sheffhallamuni So fitting to have @CarlyJonesMBE receive her honourably award via @SheffieldLuke and @intelligimus receive an inspirational teaching award. Honoured to be part of the evening and receive my Masters.
@lauriesviews Another vote for the 'Autism Spectrum' Master's programme at Sheffield Hallam. The department has fantastically passionate academics, some of whom are autistic and all of whom are knowledgeable advocates and just lovely humans.
Do any other autistic people have difficulty /cannot tolerate prescription glasses to correct vision because they can see the peripheral distortion in the lenses? Any tips to help? My daughter has poor vision but cannot tolerate the distortion. We are in the UK.
Opthamologist was fascinated at her ability to describle the distortion that he has never in his entire career known anyone else to be able to see. Suggested smaller lenses 'may' help but they haven't.
Please retweet if possible. We are desperate and she cannot be the only autistic person to have this issue. It's not just 'a bit annoying' she literally cannot wear glasses and so can't see. Very frustrating and no one seems to be able to help. TY
Distinction grade for my Master's. Grateful to the girls who shared the struggles they face in an education system that doesn't accommodate their differences. They are amazing, as is the one here who inspires me every single day. Thanks to @intelligimus@SheffieldLuke@JillPluq
I'm still looking for parents & autistic girls in the UK between 11 and 17 years to share experiences (short questionnaire) of sensory differences in education https://t.co/NWA61xqxnc Pls do retweet if you think you might reach relevant people.
