Hello and welcome to the AUDHD Me & Mo The Podcast
Today I am speaking to Tigger Pritchard from the top of the Alps n Germany.
The reason I got tigger on today is because he was a finalist of the Neurodiversity Award 2024.
He turned 60 in April and misses his hair!
He self identified as Autistic many years ago, he didn’t like football, but preferred GEEK stuff!
When Tigger moved from the Midlands to Cornwall he got a job with individuals who were Autistic in the 70’s and really connected with them.
he went into care, and training until he burnt out on an area, so he went Freelance. He is a Marketon teacher, and was holding “Welcome to Autism,” workshops.
The odd days when he was it a bit tipsy, he said to friend that he thought he was Autistic.
He chaired the “National Autism Society” for a few years.
But he loved spending his days outside with a cup of coffee, in a hut outside with his dog “Mrs Pebbles” and the idea went from his subconscious to conscious about him having Autism.
But so many people that knew him for decades , who he had worked with or taught said to him “We knew you were Autistic. We thought you just didn’t talk about it”. and I was like “Whooah. Some people knew, like 20 years ago!”
So he came out as an Autism ADHD’er and his career just exploded.
We hope you enjoy the episode.
