This evening, after 7 weeks, I finished delivering an online programme with Autistic young people in an education and learning service in London to teach teenagers all about Autistic experiences using my own book as my guide for the sessions.

I had two amazing co-facilitators who supported me, but this was the first time I had ever been the lead content creator and facilitator of any educational programme. The first time also delivering group sessions with text-to-speech audio clips all throughout the sessions, and using a video filter!

The programme I was running was thrust upon me at the last minute due to staffing issues, so I didn’t have tons of time to prepare, especially as I have never been in a position to lead a group of people before, and never thought I would be able to considering I don’t use mouth words. Despite having experience with this online programme as a co-facilitator a couple of years ago, I was always made to believe that I wouldn’t be able to lead these types of sessions myself. After all, how would someone who is situationally non-speaking be able to deliver content to a group of people and actually be listened to?

And yet, I did it! It was scary, obviously. And I was really anxious as to whether the young people would respect me, see me as the lead of the project when there were two mouth word users in the Zoom too, or if communicating via text to speech would make them laugh at me or find me weird.

But thanks to the backing of my friends and co-workers, I loved every moment of it and so did the young people apparently! It looks likely that I will be doing more with the school over the next few years and I’m excited. It makes me feel more confident that I can do so much more than I thought I could.

I’m grateful for the accepting and loving people that see me truly as I am and give me opportunities to shine when others would only push me down. So thank you and who knows what else I could do next! Maybe you might want a piece of the potato power… 🥔🤣

“There is no such thing as
SEND….”

( yep I said it and stand by it )

Via the amazing The Autistic Advocate

Aka Kieran Rose

“I’ve been speaking and writing around this for years, but this is the first time I’ve sat with it properly and followed it all the way through.

SEND as a construct.

SEND as a workaround.

SEND as the mechanism that allows an education system that was never designed for all children to remain fundamentally unchanged, while appearing compassionate.

SEND is not a framework for inclusion, but an administrative construct created to manage difference without requiring the education system itself to change.

A way of locating the problem in the child, while protecting the structure that excludes them.

In this piece, I explore how ‘support’ has become something children must qualify for, prove, and perform for, rather than something assumed as part of being human…..”

I'm guilty of doing most of these on Christmas day! 😂 But there is also nothing wrong with doing any of them. We are allowed to be excited, honest, protective, tired and wary. It's a busy day so do what you need to do!

My Story

Autism Advocacy/Consultancy for parents and carers as well as Autism Training for staff in schools and those who work with the public is available.. see Services.

This is my page where I share Autism specific information and resources..

Posts do not always reflect my opinions and are not endorsed by me. They are shared with the idea that knowledge is power.

I promote Neurodiversity/neurodivergence.... "Neurodiversity is a concept where neurological differences are to be recognised and respected as any other human variation. These differences can include those labelled with Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Autistic Spectrum, Tourette Syndrome, and others.
