Simon is an autistic teacher working in a mainstream school — diagnosed later in life after years of masking, burnout, and being misunderstood.

In this episode, Simon opens up about what it’s really like navigating sensory overload, social expectations, and rigid school systems while supporting neurodivergent children every single day.

We talk about late diagnosis, autistic burnout, inclusive teaching, and why behaviour should be supported — not managed.

This conversation is essential listening for parents, educators, and anyone questioning whether the system truly works for neurodivergent minds.

🎧 Honest. Eye-opening. Needed.
