Autism, ADHD and other friends. How would I know?
If you need help, support or just a chat please find me anywhere. If your friends, family or organisation might benefit from talking about autism, ADHD and other friends then I coach and teach and present along with creating videos and books. https://feelingtheworlddifferently.co.uk/ https://a.co/d/aL98bIv My short guide to all of this is on Amazon at…

An autistic journey.
It is the trip of a lifetime. (I am never sure if I am travelling, if I am hiding, surviving, or just running away. Is there actually a difference I wonder?) People say that they will only publish if you are able to change perceptions about people and places. If you try to publish, they…

When I say autism, what do you say? But what do you really think?
http://feelingtheworlddifferently.co.uk If I say autism, what do you say? If I say autism, what do you think? Can people ever care about things that don’t affect them? If I wander out into the street now and ask a random selection of people what they think the term neurodiversity means, they will firstly panic because…

Does difference matter? Should you care?
Can we create a society that includes us all? I would like to try, but I can’t do it on my own. I am looking for volunteers who would be willing to share their ways of feeling the world differently. Sensory experiences are often overlooked and misunderstood, even by ourselves. I have a short video…

The Sensory Experiences Project.
Our voices; our way. If you feel the world differently and would like to live in a society that is more friendly to neuro differences, then please join our project and share your story. I have posted a much longer piece about this because, as I always say, I would have said less, but I…

You don’t need to try and make me better.
For family and friends, for teachers and specialists, for colleagues and for people that I meet on the bus. Often when I speak to parents and teachers I realise that we don’t understand each other. This is understandable because we broadcast on different wavelengths. I realised that there is so much I don’t understand about…

Oh so I don’t look autistic you say? Thank goodness you are here.
But you don’t look like you are autistic I am nearly speechless every time I hear this. Only nearly speechless. I am never speechless. The thoughts are constant and if they are not spilling out onto the paper, then you can be sure they will be dashing into your airspace. Well, where else are they…

Autism myths, misconceptions and misunderstanding 1.
A common myth or misconception or misunderstanding seems to be around the way that autistic people feel within the world. Without an understanding of the varied and intense sensory experiences of autistic people it is understandable that this is misunderstood and misjudged. To further complicate this, most people don’t really know how another actually feels.

Feeling The World Differently
I have no idea how you see and hear and feel the world around you. I have no idea about how it really is because I am not you. From words shared and experiences divulged I might figure out that the pain I feel if I stub my toe, is the same, or at least…

Would a translation guide be helpful?
Switch to draftViewUpdate Let me try and translate. During a recent training day which focussed on the presentation of girls and women with Autism, Tony Attwood discussed what he calls ‘the Italian traffic lights.’ Just as Italian drivers often seem to fail to recognise the red light, so autistic girls and women often don’t see…
