Just what I needed

Recently been diagnosed as Autistic and ADHD at 42. Teacher and assistant headteacher, glad to have some answers to some of my challenges. Here to learn more and this podcast has not disappointed. Loved to learn more about the ADHD/autistic teacher community. Thank you so much.

Inspiring Podcast !!

I’m a SEN teacher working along with Autistic students and I love the way Gareth said, Let them be, let them wore just a pair of shoes if that’s what they want !! Understanding them, supporting them they will show the Stars they are . Focusing on their interest and abilities is the way to work with our autistic students, rather than focusing on just their needs or weaknesses, as we all have!
