September tends to be a time that people start thinking about gathering teams for away days! . Do have a read of this post before you start planning.
I love this post on running good away days. Do less, well. As always, appreciation for @tessacooper5 for this one X

So good to talk openly with a brilliant group of people, & to be asked honest and practical questions from the audience when it comes to #inclusion . If anyone wants to chat to our team about supporting our programmes or working with us on creating a more inclusive culture DM me.
@tessacooper5 Rania says "it starts very young. Young people are taught at school & uni that the interviewee has the power. Programmes like @collab_future are re-teaching young people that it's an equal relationship" in order to create the change ππ½ #wjinclusiverecruitment.

This whole thread is so affirming.
#ActuallyAutistic why are autistic people more likely to be gender non conforming? Tell me your thoughts. I think it' because binary gender constructs serve a purpose that a lot of us aren't interested in.

Shout out to @AutisticCoach_ who made the suggestion to autistics to spend 15 mins each morning on special interests. Round 2 of my morning DJ mixes and I'm feeling gooooood!.

I did have a particular chuckle at the "get easily distracted" versus "find no joy in the little things". My struggles with focus have been painful for me at times, but sometimes it's simply because I'm appreciating the world around me and all it's possibilities!.
Soooo I was reading an autism charity website and I had a LOT of fun converting their very deficit descriptions of autism & ADHD into deficit-centred descriptions of neurotypical people. Enjoy my #audhd and #actuallyautisic comrades
