Autism is not a problem to solve or a disease to cure. It’s a way of being and experiencing.
When we embrace neurodiversity, we create a world where everyone belongs.

Tomorrow (10th September) marks Suicide Prevention Day. Whilst I appreciate that this topic is sensitive and can evoke real feelings of distress, it’s incredibly important to talk about. And so the next few posts from me will be centred around this, if you feel able to read them, please do 🌼

1/ Raising awareness and opening the conversation around mental health and suicide is something that I am incredibly passionate about. It’s time to stop whispering about suicide and create spaces for open conversation and human connection

Sometimes I replay conversations for days
Not because I said the wrong thing - but cos I wasn’t sure how I was received
Because I can’t feel the room the way others can
And it leaves me wondering if I was too much, or not enough, or both
I know it’s not true, but it’s normal to feel that way

A parent shared this when asked what they wish teachers understood about their child’s needs.
A simple but powerful reminder for all of us working in education and inclusion.

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Simone Weil
We all long to feel recognised – not fixed, not judged… just quietly acknowledged. Even the parts we’ve tucked away.
How can we notice one another even more of the time?

1/ My beautiful friend gifted me this a couple of years ago, full of activities for us to do together. Unfortunately, the universe had other (cruel) plans, and we did not have the time that we thought we would. So, as I enter my 33rd year, I am making a commitment to honour her by doing each thing
