Last week I started a Postgraduate Certificate in Autism at Sheffield Hallam University.

Such an exciting time learning all about autism with the fascinating . An inspirational talk from too. If you ever have the opportunity to watch or read their work, take it!

I hope to be sharing more over the next few months about how I can develop my practice into an autistic affirming one. So many ways to make positive neurodivergent spaces!

Something I often hear in the therapy room is 'I don't want to burden my family or friends with my problems'. It can be tough being vulnerable with your loved ones. Maybe you think they don't have time or can't cope with your troubles. Actually, it could be that they are worried too and are fearful of approaching you. Therapy can help you to practice being open which helps you develop closer relationships with the important people in your life. Then you can teach others how to share their loads.
