So proud of my client. He reached the top of the climbing wall for the first time. He's such a champion 🏆❤️. From struggling to get up a few rungs to this , it's ace . Definitely a lot braver than me , I would cry

Today's adventures with my client involved travelling to Melbourne Uni to meet with a researcher. His mum organised for him to meet the researcher and ask a number of questions about an area of science he is very interested in ( relating mostly to immunology). He asked a number of questions that went straight over my head , so much so that the researcher had to prepare her responses . Super proud to witness it all and see how far he has come since beginning homeschooling. I felt like I was in an episode of 'The Big Bang Theory'.

Then we enjoyed lunch at a beautiful place nearby . Not a bad day's work

Matching my shoes to my outfit makes me feel like I have my life together, I don't but it feels like it 😂 . It's a bonus that it's my work uniform .

My beautiful client today decided to practice his cooking skills that he'd learnt from his mum. He made me pancakes for lunch . (Supervised but completely independent completing the task.) So proud of him 🎉

People often tell me, “You must have so much patience to do that kind of work.” They say it with a soft voice and a little head tilt. I know they mean it as a compliment, but they’ve got it wrong.

Patience is what you use when you’re waiting in line at the supermarket and the person ahead of you is paying in pennies. Patience is what you summon when your Wi-Fi goes down. Patience is about waiting for something to end.

Support work isn’t about waiting. It’s about being, being present, being responsive, being humble enough to realize that you’re not the main character in someone else’s story.

The idea that good support work is rooted in patience sells both the worker and the person they support short. It makes it sound like we’re enduring something, like the person with a disability is a test of our goodness.

The best support workers I’ve met don’t have halos of patience hovering over their heads. They have skills. They know how to listen beyond words. They notice tiny details, a shift in tone, a glance, a pause... and they adjust. They can turn frustration into collaboration. They know how to make space for someone’s independence without stepping in to “fix” everything.

Patience says, “I’ll wait for you to catch up.”
Good support says, “I’ll walk with you, at your pace, and learn the rhythm of your stride.”

So no, disability support work doesn’t take patience. It takes respect. It takes skill.

Parents who worry about labelling their child need to read this.
Having been diagnosed as an adult with ADHD and possibly other issues I wish I had of known this a lot younger and maybe I wouldn't have had as many issues as I did or would have learned to manage them better
