I really need to think up more original headings...sorry about that. Anyway a quick question/post for my Actually Autistic readers  (esp. parents) on here....it's a long one so stick with me!    So was at a meeting re: transitioning to higher ed with various colleges t'other eve... Interesting chats, lots of info on courses, support etc.  Came to the point of any questions and I asked what I always ask whether it be for myself working or places/groups the kids go to/attend which is 'do you have any Autistic staff members?' Please note I didn't demand names and addresses, exact numbers, photo evidence etc - just a simple yes or no... I ask because  A. It's important  B. I like to know if they'll be a staff member(s) with lived experience basically so I know there's at least one I'm not going to scare with my intense chat!  C. It's good to know if the whole 'inclusion' idea extends to the workplace too. So I was quite surprised to be given...

 To celebrate 60 years of the children's hero adults adore an illustration a day thru' November showcasing the genius of Doctor Who.  

 Celebrating the utterly Autistic (I'm claiming her, deal with it) genius of Delia Derbyshire, the high priestess of British electronic music.  Nuff said.

Seeing as it's International Mens Day I thought I'd reshare our top Autism dad chat (featuring a fair few Actually Autistic peeps) we did for Scottish Autism a few years back....   Enjoy.
