This is such a fantastic project and so proud of Katie, Chris and all the wondrous characters at #ExclusivelyInclusive They have designed a funky T Shirt to highlight the stark #HealthInequalities for adults with #LearningDifficulties. T shirts and bags and other bits will be available to buy after the holidays. https://www.ourcreativeconnection.org/blog/designer-labels-project

I can’t believe it took me this long to discover this wonderful app.
For myself and many of my students who are #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD this is a god send.
Yes it is AI so it is not perfect, e.g. the estimator function.
Wonderful #universal tool for #chunking especially for teachers/educators with little experience in this.

Unacceptable, cruel & #ableist behaviour from #GreenwichCouncil, #BBC & the #court.

Wow - #TVLicensing and #GreenwichCouncil leave a woman with #downssyndrome and #learningdifficulties with a #criminalrecord after the Council who manage her finances screw up her direct debit, and then plead guilty for her in the fast track prosecution process after their screw up.
Was emailed a client’s EOY report card by their father today.
My client battles numerous #LearningDifficulties including #ActuallyAutistic. What amazed me is the comment by the principal that they provided “adjustments to … educational program”.
This isn’t the flex you think it is. It is an actual legal requirement.
Asking for a friend who was diagnosed with “learning difficulties” as a kid but a lot of what they describe sounds like less typical autism symptoms (e.g. can’t go out in public alone but is fine with a trusted person, not sensory overwhelm, more general discomfort). I promised to ask around for resources available in the UK to give them a starting point for looking into coping mechanisms and understanding what’s going on in their brain.
Any good orgs? Websites/reading materials? Access to/recs for therapy (they may be able to afford private if it can be spaced out)? Self help groups? Please, drop your recs and advice and I’ll make sure to pass them on. Ta! 
Here's to acceptance into my fourth (gasp) university QUT (Queensland University of Technology)
#MasterOfEducation majoring in "Inclusive Strategies and Practices for Autism".
Back to the books perhaps? Application submitted anyway.
Decided to be smart this time and applied for part-time study.
I can't escape my #disabilities, but hopefully I can help others better navigate theirs.
It’s so difficult when a student comes in for help for College English and they should have been in the lower level class. Who placed them there? This poor person doesn’t even understand what a prompt is.
School just phoned. A slept nearly all afternoon, then woke just in for the Wellbeing lady to give her a little aromatherapy massage before hometime. If only all schools were this flexible #RettSyndrome #SETD5Syndrome #Disability #LearningDifficulties #epilepsy
