It’s not “won’t.” It’s can’t.
For many neurodivergent children, school doesn’t feel safe yet. And when a child is in survival mode, learning simply can’t happen.

This blog explores a more compassionate lens, "School Can’t". From prioritising safety and belonging, to using collaborative, proactive approaches, we share practical ways to support young people.

Behind the mornings that feel impossible…
Behind the tears, the shutdowns, the panic…
There is often a young person whose nervous system is saying: this isn’t safe for me right now.

If you’re walking this path as a parent, educator, or therapist, please know: you’re not alone. Read the blog to learn more about Dr Kidd's Anchor-Bridge-Compass approach and how we can support neurodivergent children experiencing distress.

Are you an Autistic young person aged 12–17 living in Australia?

UWA is inviting you to take part in a research study about young people’s experiences of exploring and understanding that they are Autistic. This program aims to find out and understand what supports Autistic teens need and want after being diagnosed or identified as Autistic.

This project is led by researchers from the University of Western Australia, working alongside a team of autistic, neurodivergent, and non-autistic researchers across Australia and the UK.

For more information about the study and how to take part, please follow this link to their expression of interest page:

“Being perceived” refers to the experience of being noticed, watched, and interpreted by others, which can evoke feelings of anxiety and fear of judgement - an experience especially common among neurodivergent individuals.

In this new blog post, Kit chats about their return to dance at 30, and the fear that often accompanies doing something new, the worry of making mistakes, and the freedom of diving back into a passion.
