Are SEN schools better for Autistic people? What is it like changing from mainstream to SEND? What are positive/negatives to each?

Mason Milne is the host of the 'Crohn's & Autism Awareness Advocate' podcast, a series focused on Autism, Mental Health and Chronic Illness (with a little dash of Doctor Who)!

In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas Henley talks to Mason about his experiences in mainstream and SEND education, highlighting the differences between the two in an effort to answer the question - Is SEND or Mainstream education best for Autistic youth?

Kicking off the conversation, they converse about life as a podcaster and how talking to other advocates has impacted their own lives, opinions and views. 

Mason tells us about the switch to SEND education and his prior experiences in mainstream; Thomas highlights the issues he found in his own experience, but also as a third-party as special needs teaching assistant.

Expect lots of personal experiences, advice on choosing schools, and an Autistic perspective on education as a whole!
