I had a HORRIBLE time at school. I had a 32.5hr Statement (old school EHCP) with a 1:1 velcro T.A from age 9 until A'levels. I hated every moment of it. I'm so very passionate about getting SEND right in schools so no other child has to feel that way. #EduSEND #SENDsky #inclusion #autism #adhd

Had a lovely annual review this week. It was so positive and an awesome amount of progress has been made - the child has worked so hard!! Support coming from home and school working together. Yeay! When it works, it works! #sendco #SENDsky #edusend #ehcp #additionalneeds

Happy New Year, and all that jazz!!! Quiet one here last night! The ND amongst us were tucked up (me first by 10!) Whilst the NTs managed to stay up until 12.30! I hope you all have a gentle and kind 2025. #HNY #2025 #actuallyautistic #autistic #neurodiversity #adhd

There’s always an assumption that low nos of children with SEND at a school means they’ve been turned away or kicked out: it could mean that some of these schools have inclusion right & so more children don’t need different from/additional to what’s universally on offer. /1

Today was a day of two halves...eldest had a meltdown due to unexpected change of plans and lots of being prodded (hospital visit!). Horrible for them. Then lovely festive Afternoon Tea with my husband when they were happily back at school.

"Zero tolerance" regimes have no place in education. Any compliance is born out of fear. These people who espouse such behaviour policies should not be working with children. There. I've said it. #inclusion #safeguarding #behaviour #SENDsky #SENDCo

Eldest has just had a meltdown and had to be picked up early from the place they love being on a Saturday morning because they haven't been able to understand the interpersonal stuff going on there. Makes me very sad for them and triggers me from my teen years. #SENDparent #autism #adhd #SENDsky

Short debate on SEND Provision: Autism/ADHD. But the Minister did not address the issues of children left without provision in her drive to shoehorn more SEND children in mainstream. Teaching children in corridors as they can’t cope in class is no answer. www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=...

Only neurotypicals seem to say things like 'I can be a bit on the spectrum' as an excuse for bad conduct.
Besides, autists not being empathetic has been somewhat debunked. Studies show some autists simply don't know how to *express* the empathy they feel. Also: many autists suffer from hyper-empathy

People SERIOUSLY need to stop using neurodivergence as an excuse for being a cunt. It's grotesque.
