My Background
This blog has moved to
http://actionforautism.co.uk/
See you there!
I am Mike Stanton. I live and work in the UK where I teach children with severe learning difficulties, many of whom are autistic. My adult son is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. I am a member of the National Autistic Society. I speak and write on autism.
My book, “Learning to Live with High Functioning Autism” is available in a Spanish translation, Convivir con el Autismo. I have also c
ontributed a chapter to Asperger Syndrome in Adolescence edited by Liane Holliday Willey.
ACTION FOR AUTISM is a reaction against names like Action Against Autism and Defeat Autism Now! Names like these suggest to autistic people that we are against them as people. You may not mean that. But if you care about autism you ought to care about the feelings of autistic people and not use language that makes them angry or upset. If you disregard the feelings of autistic people do not be surprised if you are disregarded.

If you were doing your job right all along, you’d already be prepared.
JBJr: “If you were doing your job right all along, you’d already be prepared.”
School inspections are events that require specific preparations to be made outside of the activities of everyday teaching.
Crass remark, John… as well you know.
Hope the evaluation goes well (and of course you’re already prepared).
Something about boy scouts, but it’s a big foggy.
best of luck. God speed
