It isn't easy to be your own light in the darkness. We're always searching for someone or something to be a guiding force for us because it's scary as hell to depend on your own courage, strength, and will when everything inside you screams that you're not capable & not enough
But you are capable and you are enough. Believe in yourself, reclaim your power and know that you are more than enough and more than worthy of all the love and all the good this world has to offer. Know that you were born to be victorious, born to thrive and born to lead.
1/ I spent the past couple months trying to understand how and why #edtech companies are trying to measure, monitor, and mold students' feelings, mindsets, and ways of thinking. You know what that means...thread incoming.

Things that YOU can do to help #autistic children in school. A thread of ideas, titbits of info, things to consider and so on. I hope it's useful and even more importantly, hope it helps some kids cope with the waking nightmare that is 'Neuro-typical Academy' #autismacceptance /1
1. Have your lesson stick to a rigid routine as far as possible. This is good as it arguably is good for all kids, but is a huge benefit to #autistic student. At primary, have a clear daily routine if possible. /1
2. Only have posters and displays if they are actually useful, and don't make them too 'busy'! Simple colour schemes too, rather than rainbows, and if may be worth seating #autistic children away from particularly distracting or detailed displays. /2
