I thoroughly enjoyed my interview on #RadioMariaEngland. It was great to have the opportunity to spread the word re #autism and #inclusion.

I have written a resource for the Sacramental preparation of young people with additional needs, including those who are nonverbal. It is due to be published soon by ‘the God Who Speaks’/Archdiocese of Birmingham as a free pdf. Please DM me if you are interested. #autism #inclusion

I have been asked to go on Radio Maria England to talk about how parishes can be made more inclusive of difference at Christmas, with advice for parents and caregivers. Date and time to be confirmed. #autism #catholic

People watch or read sensationalised pseudoscience about ‘Hitler’s DNA’ and pick up on the lurid headlines. Hitler had a genetic predisposition for neurodivergence = Hitler was Autistic = Hitler was evil because he was Autistic = all Autistic people are potentially evil. #Hitler #autism

Today is the Feast of All Carmelite Saints. May Carmelite saints, known and unknown, continue to pray for us and offer us their example of faith and witness.
