This video looks at why it's not helpful to talk about autistic people as being "intolerant of uncertainty". Instead, we should move to understanding their need for "safety in predictability", and consider how we can create safe and predictable spaces that allow everyone to thrive.

Thank you to Pete Wharmby, whose books we love!

And yes, we agree, autism advocacy not just awareness is our goal at The GAC.

We've got an exciting opportunity to join our busy remote team, and an opportunity to make a real impact for PDAers and their families. Working alongside our Communications Manager, this is a hands-on and creative role which will be integral to the day to day activities of our small communications team.

The first stage of the application is a short task where you'll have the chance to demonstrate the skills for the role, regardless of your professional background. Whilst you might have experience in a fundraising, marketing or communications role, we also encourage you to apply if you feel you have transferable skills from other experiences.

You can find the full job pack and how to apply on our website: https://www.pdasociety.org.uk/career/communications-assistant/

We look forward to reading your applications!

This week Gwen has

* comforted someone who was crying
* supported 3 rather overwhelmed clients
* sat quietly next to 2 young people having ADOS-2 appointments
* quietly provided calm during numerous parent sessions
* helped a child come into the room from the car park.

And been an all round gorgeous girl.

So, she's had lots of long walks and a pup cup on the way home!

Good Girl Gwen!
