As an autistic adult, what would you change in schools? With Joanna Grace
Autism support is given to half the people who need it, and nearly all of it involves teaching people to appear not-autistic i.e. teaching them the skills required to mask autism. Research has shown that masking is damaging to physical and mental health, so we should aim to support everyone and do it in ways that respect their neurotype.
Joanna Grace joins Dale for today's episode 'As an Autistic adult what would you change in schools?'.
"We obviously can't go back in time and change things, but hopefully we can use our experiences to improve the experience for pupils currently in school".
Joanna Grace
Joanna was diagnosed at 36 and we discuss what she would want teachers to know if she was at school now. Listen to find out the importance of early diagnosis, the things she would want to and not to happen at school and how you can support your pupils.
