My first autism advocacy article just got published on a major website. And it's on the topic I feel passionately about, both as a teacher and autistic person myself.

Hopefully some of the tips in here can be useful to you and your families. It's geared towards kids and teens, but honestly, a lot of these tips are good for anyone. (I use a lot of it myself.)

Brilliant! Love this! Thank you! Will share it.

From a fellow educator, as well as having home educated my youngest son from 6 yrs to 18yrs(now at a London Uni).

Great article!

These tips would also help any NT child or adult as well. I often find that changes I make for my husband or son end up benefitting me too.
