It’s a fab offering. And so reassuring to families who feel pressure to keep up with peers when they really don’t have to.

Not for a very long time, I’d forgotten it, but I love it. I need to dig through my Scots dictionaries again! (Yep, plural!)

Having flexibility built in to our buildings and systems makes it much easier to meet everyone’s needs.

Having a one size fits none approach misses out on so many of us, especially those who march to the best of our own drums!

I shall be updating and adding new sections as time goes on (and here as I launch it I am already planning more info I want to add!)

Happy reading!

I am hoping it will help those of you who are at the start of your journeys, but also those of you who have been travelling this road for a good few years and looking for a place with a lot of knowledge into one area.

It has been an absolute labour of love putting it together – so much of the information contained is info I wish I’d had when I first found out that my child and I are Autistic.

And also, to my family who have been incredibly understanding as I hid myself away in my office writing and brought me many cups of tea. I am sorry for frequently forgetting to bring the empty cup back down.

I express my deepest thanks to the amazing @createdbytmd.bsky.social for all their help making the website look as damn good as it does!

It has been a mammoth task that I’ve been working on for the last few months and I am utterly delighted to share it with you all today!

Each page is an introduction to the topic with information drawing from my own lived experience as an Autistic person, an Autistic parent, my experiences supporting countless Autistic people both as a teacher and my years running an Autistic Disabled People’s charity, as well as up to date research.

There are pages on:

• What does it mean to be Autistic?
• Myth busting
• Sensory processing
• Communication
• Rights and Reasonable Adjustments
• Children and Young People
• Wellbeing
• Work and Employers
• Glossary
• Downloads
• Links

And for me:

Sun cream ✅
Water bottle ✅
Picnic blanket ✅
Fold out chair ✅
Hand fan ✅

If you’re joining us we will be on the grass between the play park and the cafe at Hazlehead Park from 11-1pm. It’s going to be a scorcher so I’m packing a little money for ice cream at the shop too!
