When you get a diagnosis of autism there is very often not much help available

A person with an ADHD diagnosis is often medicated and therefore in the system having checkups

There is no medication or official treatment for autism

There are also multiple vastly differing presentations of autism and much fewer for ADHD

All this is to say, I was lucky to be able to get a diagnosis but none of the suppport I found after that was official or medical

My diagnosis is private so the NHS don't bother with me at all, there are no checkups

When the NHS wouldn't diagnose me due to budgets I went private

That meant any help would be out of my budget as I borrowed the money

I knew I was on my own with a life changing diagnosis. Then the pandemic hit and my businesses were destroyed as well and I got chronic pain and fatigue

My goal for the last few years has been to get well enough to help other autistic people let down by the system

As I am a yoga teacher, I do this with yoga and exercise and by being effectively a person with autism happy to answer questions about myself if it helps others

I'll talk to anyone (it's an autistic trait)

Apparently autism and ADHD are "over diagnosed" again

I've always been autistic

I was fine as f**k until someone made the world very busy and noisy, sat me in front of a screen all day and made every light in a public place on the planet toxic to my nervous system

But it's my fault that I can't get a job even though someone else made all workplaces toxic to anyone who's not already dead inside

But you can't get reasonable adjustments as it's now bad to be inclusive even though you are excluding highly capable people by the stupid working conditions

And they think we have "learning difficulties", I just can't even with this level of stupid

I'm literally non verbal at the utter insanity of it all

If you don't like bright lights and occasionally secretly flap when nobody is looking....

Feel free to book in and get away from the zombie people for half an hour

This is me trying to give "friendly" rather than "terrifying" vibes

How am I doing?

The thing is it's just you can see the intelligence in the eyes and it freaks people out 🤣

When training people with disabilities and mobility issues there is no standard programme or approach

Broadly speaking non disabled people have bodies that operate the same as each other - standard issue

Disabilities are not standard issue

No two people with the same condition have the exact same presentation.

You have to observe them and make sure you talk to them as they are the expert on their condition not you

Training is more collaboration

It's not "do what i say as i know best"

We work together to find what works for YOU

If I can be of any assistance, please get in touch

Why you need an expert teacher if you are pregnant or recovering from pregnancy, and why that is not me...

The way I teach is by using my experience. If I've never been like someone it's much harder to relate to them

A few years ago I did the training course on how to train pregnant people, because one of my clients became pregnant

And having done that course i fundamentally believe that it's not enough and to sell yourself as a pregnancy expert you really ought to have experience ideally of multiple pregnancies yourself

Men who sell themselves as pregnancy experts hugely confuse me to be honest

Pregnancy is a high risk activity that affects your mind as well as your body

I've had pregnant people attend my classes in gyms and many of them have little regard for own safety due to "baby brain"

You need an expert

I am not an expert

Choose someone who has given birth to children would be my advice, qualifications are just to cover your arse for insurance

I teach you how to be your own trainer / yoga teacher

So you don't need anyone's permission to move your own body ever again.

I do not run "women only" classes because if I do, I can be challenged for including trans people and have to police people's gender

No thanks. I don't even identify as a woman as I can't be bothered with the aggro and policing of how I look

The ONLY solution is to run only mixed gender sessions

If you want women only "womb clearing circles"

Jog on and find someone into that stuff (all other yoga teachers I ever met)

You can tell whether the instructor you are covering a class for is a nice person by how the class treat you

If the people are grateful and pleased to see you, they bigged you up

If they are angry you aren't the normal instructor you just walked into a personality cult and are in for a rough hour

Did you hear about the personal trainer who gives everyone the same programme as it's easier?

It's all fun and games until all your clients are in the gym at the same time waiting for the same piece of equipment

It's like your wife and girlfriend accidentally meeting

HAPPY "INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES"

which I found out it is like just now

Did you know that you can modify yoga to incorporate your mobility aids?

This is my hobby...

You can get a free 30 minute session at the studio if you drop me a message

(I am unfortunately unable to accommodate non ambulatory wheelchair users as the doors inside the building are too narrow and it's a listed building- but maybe I could meet you somewhere if necessary)
