A whole year ago! It hadn't rained for ages so we brought a bin of water outside to play in. When we finished the birds swooped down to drink ♥️♥️♥️

Hi Everyone, how are you? It's been a while... I have been very unwell with autistic shutdown and burnout and have had to pause my in-person work for now. I am building my strength, working out how I can manage my life in a way that works for me and rethinking the direction of my work. New things are coming!More to come soon!

For now I will be sharing my thoughts on mental health issues, autism, autistic burnout and snippets of future plans.

There is potential for some PAYG adhoc sessions soon if that is of interest to you. For now a reminder that this is still the core of my work and what will continue...

An explanation of what we're all about!

YES!!!

We are sooo sick of being told our children need to be more resilient!

WE ARE RECLAIMING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE RESILIENT WHEN YOU ARE NEURODIVERGENT!

But heres the thing, i think we need to change the narrative around resilience, I think our kids do need to build a resilience, but the resilience our kids need is resilience for the bu****it of expectations placed on them to fit in and tolerate hostility, harm & distress from unsafe environments and people. They do not need resilience from a neurotypical perspective. They need it from a neuro affirming perspective!

We need to build armour against judgment, not pressure to conform.

Resilience is teaching our kids that some people don’t “get it” and that’s a them problem! Not an us problem.

Resilience is teaching our kids that sometimes people will be judgemental, ignorant, non-empathetic and they are not our people and that’s their loss!

Resilience is teaching our kids that the world is not always ready for us or accepting or understanding of our experiences and needs. And that’s on the world not us!

I will not teach my children to be “resilient” to people, places or environments that are uncomfortable and cause distress!

I will teach them to recognise and trust themselves to know what is uncomfortable and causes distress and to have autonomy and confidence to make themselves comfortable even when others don’t approve!

That’s resilience, that’s safety and that’s vital.
