Just continue to be your beautiful selves, my amazing, beautiful Autistic friends. Don’t let anyone dim your lights 💕🙏

We’re taking a short break from social media while our team are on leave. At the same time, we know there will be conversations globally around autism, that may share harmful and inaccurate ideas about the “cause” of autism. These kinds of narratives can feel heavy and damaging for our community.

We want to leave you with these protective reminders:
💛 Autism is not caused by vaccines, parenting, or diet. Autistic people have always been part of humanity.
💛 Harmful claims do not change the truth of our lived experience, or the strength and beauty in our community.
💛 You don’t need to engage with every harmful comment or headline. Protect your energy.
💛 Surround your feed with autistic voices, affirming psychologists, trusted researchers, and good allies. Look to the people who reflect your values and share accurate information.
💛 Choose if, when, and how you wish to advocate in response. You don’t need to enter every discussion you are invited to. But if you do want to respond, know you have a community behind you.
💛 Focus on the communities and organisations that affirm who you are, not those that drain you.

Take gentle care of yourselves. We stand with you in love and solidarity, and we’ll be back online soon after the school holidays. 💛🐞

Having lost my dad many years ago, today is always challenging. Thankfully, dads aren’t always our own blood…and come in many forms…brothers, friends dads, uncles, and more. These relationships are equally important 💕 Happy Father’s Day…whatever that means for you and your family.

This Father's Day we celebrate all the dads, in all their forms. 💚

Days like this can bring up mixed emotions. For tips on self-care, check out our Emerging Minds Families resource: https://bit.ly/em-self-care

Whether it’s using the miniatures from the shelves, or from the dolls house…I love the creative ways the kiddos use these resources to work through challenges or tricky situations. Sometimes, words aren’t needed. Sometimes it’s easier, yet just as effective, to play out the scenario with the miniatures. Different modalities…same outcome 👍🏻👌🏼

A very productive and imaginative session with Susan the Kitten from The Big Tree (with special appearances from the Inside Out characters and The Amygdala plushie 🤭).
Susan supported a young person to determine what and who is important to them and a very special message in a bottle was created ☺️
