Why did I start advocating? I sometimes get asked why I started advocating for better inclusion of neurodivergent people across education and the workplace and the truth is, it was to release the utter frustration I had regarding my autistic daughter's support needs being constantly overlooked, doubted and ignored.

I wrote this poem whilst feeling angry and upset that regardless of the countless meetings I had with her school and her evident distress and upset when attending school, it felt that nothing was being done to appropriately support her.

Good Autistic Girls!

'This is a story of a good little girl who is helpful, loving and kind. Her withdrawn speech and panicked eyes were not concerns in her teachers minds. For good little girls should be quiet and meek so she continued unrecognised.

This is a story of a good little girl who despite specialists saying she's autistic. The teachers mock 'oh another one' and refer to an 'epidemic'. She isn't like the autistic boys, so it isn't autism they see. Instead of support they leave her alone saying 'she is such a good girl for me'.

This is a story of a strong little girl who battles on, day in day out. She learnt not to fuss about stomach aches and pains. She would sneak off to corners where there weren't any games. And she always waited until the end of the day before her tensions were released so no one could say, that she wasn't a good girl at school that day.

This is a story of a brave little girl that persevered with all her might. The impact and scars that were left behind could not be outwardly seen from her fight. Exhaustion, fatigue, low self-worth and stress are the consequences she must bare. The lack of support for autistic girls is undeniably unfair!'

As you know I have now turned my attention to supporting our adult neurodivergent community, many of which will also have children who require additional support. For those of you currently battling the education system, remember you are not alone. At ND Perspective we now have a section specifically for neurodivergent parents (regardless of the neuro-type of your child).
