The UK School System From An Autistic Teachers Perspective | EP41

  • サマリー

  • In this episode we discuss the educational system in the UK from the perspective of an autistic teacher. Mandy Cook is an influential figure in Autism on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok as The Autistic Teacher with over 100,000 followers on Facebook, sharing information and insights to a wider audience. Mandy is a teacher, speaker, trainer and consultant in autism with over 20 years experience working with Autistic children and adults.


    She shares her journey as an autistic teacher and how her personal experiences have shaped her approach to education, the need for neurodivergent-friendly environments and the importance of inclusivity in education for neurodivergent children and the benefits it brings to all students.

    The conversation explores the current state of inclusivity in schools, the challenges faced by neurodivergent children, and the misconceptions surrounding school refusal.


    Takeaways


    • Teachers often receive undue blame for systemic issues.
    • Personal experiences can greatly influence teaching methods.
    • Inclusivity in classrooms benefits all students, not just neurodivergent ones.
    • Neurodivergent training from neurodivergent teachers is essential.
    • School refusal often stems from fear, not laziness.
    • Standardized tests do not accurately reflect a child's potential.
