Mark, Louise and Evan were a part of my life for many years and were my first real introduction to the Autistic community, before I even was an OT. My interactions with them really influenced my career journey and my interest in the Autistic community ( before I knew that I'm Autistic) They were kind, caring people with generous spirits and also really great craic. I always felt so welcome in their home, and was always comfortable and happy to be there. Our interactions were less frequent in recent years but always warm and I always felt such joy after. I have such great memories and they deserve to remembered for the shining lights they were. Katie

The first indication that something was wrong came shortly after 10am on Monday.

The great outdoors - an amazing free resource! Especially in gorgeous weather like this. And even more so in natural environments.
Did you know that there are many research pieces showing that just being in green spaces (even urban ones like parks etc) have countless benefits for your physical and mental health? Even immunity!
How cool is that? Get out if you can!
I left the natural sounds here as they are so therapeutic.
I have always been a "water Autistic"! Any form of flowing water is just a regulating and resetting sensory experience for me - the sounds, the visuals and the feels.
Do you feel this way?

Usually we ask that children who come to play with us are barefoot. (Although if this is dif ficult or uncomfortable for a child we recommend trampoline or grippy socks for safety).
But why barefoot? There are so many benefits to be barefoot at all stages of life, and especially for children. The tactile feedback through the soles of the feet can be anchoring or grounding but also can foster a more responsive connection to their environment. It can help develop gross motor skills as children play.
The soles of our feet are very sensitive and give messages to the rest of our body about the environment and how to navigate and respond to it.
It can be pleasant sensory experience too - for some, not all!
