Over the past few months I have come to the conclusion that I have dyspraxia. It seems to be a multifaceted condition, affecting thinking as well as manual tasks. I struggle with tying my shoelaces, I couldn't learn cursive writing and so on. I gave up driving because I never felt sure where I was on the road and it was just impossible to figure out which lever did the windscreen wipers or the indicators. Anyone got some dyspraxia top tips? #dyspraxia #actuallyAutistic

I Am Not A Taboo! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I may have been on a short hiatus, but I am not a taboo! is still here!

Initially, #IAmNotATaboo started off as solely representing #LGBTQIA identities – but in reality, all marginalised identities should be a part of I am not a taboo!

And I'm really pleased that Matt Starr agreed to write a #BlogPost about #Dyspraxia – it doesn't get talked about enough, and hardly ever (if ever) features in #ELT materials – so deservedly has a place under the I am not a taboo! umbrella.

The organisation my wife volunteers for has finally moved all its volunteer training online.

It's very clever, very cheap & extremely unfreindly.
The login initially assumes you are on the organisation's payroll and located within its premises and on their intranet - once I'd worked out how to get around that, it appears that it's impossible to stay logged in to do several courses at one sitting - you need to log in each time.

I'm not sure that the training itself has been run past any disability checks - Sacha has a degree of dyspraxia and she has really struggled with the training websites.
The manager is dismissive - the attitude comes across (meant or otherwise) as 'you're only a volunteer, so what?'

She's seriously thinking of giving up on the volunteering that she really loves and - I believe- does make a difference to a number of young lives. It's very niche - there's no alternative for her to move to.

On Tuesday I had the privilege of speaking at Oxford’s EDI Roundtable on #Neurodiversity. It’s inspiring to see the university breaking down barriers so neurodivergent students and staff feel they belong and thrive. More than 140 attendees joined thought-provoking discussions on policy, experience and inclusion. Fantastic to see this momentum continue! Huge thanks to all involved.

The panel features Professor Jonathan Wolff, Dr Laurence Leaver, Dr Dionysios Kyropoulos, Antonia Johnson and Jonathan Brooks, with Professor Tim Soutphommasane standing at the lectern moderating the discussion. A large screen behind them displays their names and roles: Antonia Johnson, President, Neuroinfinity; Dr Dionysios Kyropoulos, Specialist Study Skills and Strategy Tutor, Student Welfare and Support Services; Jonathan Brooks, DPhil researcher, Philosophy of Psychiatry.

Observation of the day: #OHC #Covid19 tests are *not* very accessible either for #blind or #dyspraxic users. All those tiny parts, so the dyspraxic me was struggling to hold the extractor steady while doing all the other stuff, and the test takes 15 minutes, so unless you have a *bunch* of minutes for Aira or something, you're using up a *bunch* of time figuring out how the thing works. I certainly wouldn't recommend them for #NeurodivergentBlind people. @neurodivergentblind

So you know that feeling where you STOP before you hit your pain barrier, when you’re engrossed in a big, physicallly demanding task?
No, me neither.
Oops.
And ouch.
And then when I sat down exhausted, I spilt an entire 350ml glass of mineral water with bitters all over the rug and my chair and my paperwork and…
