‘Mum says...’ ‘mum said...’ firstly MUM has a name & secondly, if you have worked with my child and built trust with my child.. you might also be aware of strengths and difficulties the child has. #SEND #MumHasAName #SpecialistInMyChild #SENDTwitterCommunity #Autism #MentalHealth

This is one of the most important messages anyone can read and process. Working with #Autistic #ADHD #SEND children requires a different mindset and an acceptance. The child is not being rude or disrespectful, they’re trying to get through the day #EduTwitter #schoolsreopeninguk

After some struggles this year with #MentalHealth my son has achieved an excellence award! It’s times like this which highlight the importance of school staff & their ability to see the child, not the behaviour I genuinely appreciate my son & the staff ❤️ #SEND #Autism #Autistic

So universities have been told they will not return until January 2021 earliest, most workplaces are maintaining working from home until January 2021 through #Covid but yet my child is meant to go back to school in less than 2 weeks 😳

Child: ‘My belly hurts’ Adult: ‘No it doesn’t I just saw you playing!’ Please be aware a sore belly can mean lots of things to an #Autistic child - engage and reassure but most important LISTEN #Autism #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance #Neurodiverse #Education #School

The past 10 weeks - my hair has started to grow, my skin is clearing, I’ve started to gain weight 😱 I’m suffering with less migraines & I’m seeing my children’s special talents 😊. I am grateful for #lockdownUK the stress of #SEND #Discrimination #Fighting has massive impacts
