9 | Very well | 2024-05-27 20:15:52 | |
10 | Very well | I really appreciated the information around social and emotional needs. I especially liked the description of social knowledge (and its teaching) versus social “skilling”. I think this would go a long way with our entire student population, as well as some of the adults! I found your explanation of Robyn Stewart’s “ladder of trust” very informative and a practical solution for many relationship/friendship situations. Our school has invested time and money into a program out of America, called “Friendology”. I find this to be an overly detailed and less practical way of teaching young people the value of themselves and others within healthy relationships, | 2024-05-22 16:11:29 |

2 | Very well | All lessons had aspects of great information, but I found him very negative and not positive about his life and learning.

Extremely well | Everything was very interesting. | 2023-12-12 12:13:47 | |
6 | Somewhat well | Those on friendship and executive functioning were most helpful. It would be helpful to have a text button on the videos, as I found them hard to hear. Also, the final video completely lost sound after “last November I wrote a song…” I could see Dean speaking, but zero sound. Personally, I’d like a short quiz at the end of each section, to reinforce the learning. Thankyou. | 2023-12-10 11:59:53 |

6 | Very well | 2023-12-06 18:32:13 | |
9 | Extremely well | It’s ok to have the same Teachers Aide even if the student becomes attached to them. It’s important for students because this might be the only person they can relate to throughout their school life. Also, the change in the terminology used to describe neurodiverse students. | 2023-12-04 13:37:30 |
10 | Extremely well | Hearing his perspective in all the lessons really helped me understand the kids I work with better | 2023-11-29 10:06:08 |

8 | Very well | I thought they all offered some great tips & knowledge. | 2023-11-15 15:01:01 |
10 | Extremely well | All of it. Finally someone teaching staff to empower the individual to recognise and verbalise their needs and ask for support to put them in place. This is what prepares our students for life outside of school. Funny story – I have a student who hates maths and is so empowered she just says no or no thanks every time maths books are on the table, I try to work Pokémon in to the explanations as much as possible to get the basics covered. | 2023-11-15 11:53:58 |
9 | Very well | 2023-11-13 07:28:12 | |

1 | Not so well | Lesson 3 | 2023-10-31 16:32:04 |
10 | Extremely well | Sorry, most of it was so insightful I can’t just pick one. It has made me excited that we are hopefully moving in the right direction of acceptance and support if we can just get more people to hear these words and learn more about acceptance and support rather than viewing autistic people as a problem. As a TA and also a partner and mum to an autistic husband and son the lessons were valuable and actually made me reevaluate and question some of my own beliefs. The friendship viewpoint was especially valuable and how we share information in schools. That needs should be the focus and their strengths rather than focus on the negative behaviours and thus documenting and shaping a negative educational viewpoint of the student, without addressing need, that follows them through their school life and onto adulthood. | 2023-10-27 19:45:11 |
10 | Extremely well | I just love the point of view from an autistic adult | 2023-10-27 17:50:18 |
10 | Extremely well | I gathered loads of information from all the lessons, but I got most out of Lesson 3 Social Needs and Emotions and Lesson 5 Transformation Impact TA’s can make. | 2023-10-25 11:54:51 |
7 | Extremely well | the whole lesson was wonderful | 2023-10-24 18:54:15 |
10 | Extremely well | The whole course was extremely informative and helpful. It was great to hear how life and education is from Dean’s point of view and it gave me insights that could help me, to help the children I work with. | 2023-10-23 10:32:59 |

8 | Very well | Autistic joy which I have seen and now understand what it is. That the world needs to change their way of thinking and understanding. Listening to what their needs are and supporting in helping to meet these needs. Not expecting students to get it all done in one go. Socialising looks different to everyone | 2023-10-10 15:40:02 |
9 | Very well | 2023-10-10 15:38:05 | |

8 | Very well | Awareness Bands, I like the idea of the student to let us know how they are feeling on arrival to school and throughout the day.

10 | Extremely well | every lesson had value. I can not believe how fantastic this set of videos were. I would like to have access to them forever as I have grandchildren and would like to share these videos with their parents. I myself have diagnosed as autistic at 65 yrs of age. although I had already suspected I was as I watched my grandchildren with difficulties and needs that at times weren’t been met and I could really relate to what they were going through. I always thought I had “mild autism tendencies” but after going through these videos three times before I finally allowed myself to finally press ‘completed’ I am ok to say I am autistic. I have the autistic Joy in a few specific topics. Many years ago I had a friend who said she was envious of the passion & drive that I had for the things that I loved to do .. something that she didn’t possess. I am a constant learner and love to help others who aren’t coping .. I work with children who are autistic & LOVE my job. I now understand why I can relate to these kids so easily. I finally understood myself so much better. I realised that I had masked my whole life and that I had adapted so many aspects of my life to help me negotiate the difficulties I was constantly having. all I can say is WOW and thank you to you Sue for getting Dean to do these videos and thank you to DEAN for being so honest and open. | 2023-06-07 18:11:28 |

The lesson I find helpful is to remember that it is all about helping the child and not the problems/differences between the grown ups surrounding them especially not between me (personal teacher assistant) and the other teachers/teacher assistants. And I am reminded to see in the child’s perspective and use their interest to teach them about other stuff. | 2022-10-23 14:20:08 |

10 | Extremely well | The fact that no one is normal, yes we’re all different. Autistic people think differently and that’s ok. Great to hear Dean’s stories and how I could relate them to my own 21 year old son. I feel I can relate to my son better, and also my now diagnosed younger daughter who is very loud and colourful at times but also can be very quiet and anxious. Additionally, I love how Dean expressed how they should not be embarrassed with how they are, what they wear, etc and embrace it and we too. I love the words ’empower who you are. The world would be a lot duller without you’. Huge thanks Dean. | 2022-08-17 18:31:14 |

10 | Extremely well | The lesson on Executive Functioning. The fact that processing and being overwhelmed is part of executive functioning. | 2022-04-26 16:35:22 |
10 | Extremely well | All The lessons I found extremely helpful in understanding Autisum . Dean made it informative and easy to listen to. | 2022-04-26 16:32:55 |
9 | Extremely well | All his life examples and personal experiences. The visuals are very helpful although some fonts on the slides were too small. The strategies shared were extremely useful too, especially the section on TAs and how to create positive interactions and bonds between autistic and non-autistic children. Very informative and enjoyable, easy to watch. | 2022-04-26 16:31:30 |

7 | Somewhat well | Executive functioning, I found this extremely interesting and I found this helped me to understand my own child. I also found “autistic behaviour” was interesting to look for the need of the student, and to look for the need not being met. I will always keep this in my mind now. I also learned more about people with autism and empathy, this makes a lot of sense. Great module. | 2022-04-26 16:19:33 |
10 | Very well | Lessonm 5 | 2022-04-26 15:56:08 |
Extremely well | Loved it all | 2022-04-26 14:33:45 | |

5 | Very well | Meeting the needs of neurodiverse students. | 2022-04-23 17:19:18 |
8 | Very well | Thoughts on TA’s- I work with secondary students and it is so important to build that trust and a relationship with the teenagers and for them to have a say in their lives. | 2022-04-22 16:55:37 |
10 | Very well | teaching social knowledge not social skills | 2022-04-19 13:40:53 |
10 | Extremely well | Personally I loved hearing about children/adults accepting that they have Autism and that it is what makes them the smart individual they are. That’s it’s nothing to be ashamed of. This is a really challenging thing for them but so important. | 2022-04-13 20:32:47 |
8 | Very well | 2022-04-11 15:04:13 | |

10 | Extremely well | To create the setting for students to accept themselves. | 2022-04-07 17:46:24 |
10 | Extremely well | I have only been a Teacher Aide for 3 years and I found Dean’s personal experiences, testimonial and his provision of correct terminology & helpful hints when supporting an autistic student most helpful such as: Supporting them rather than judging them, taking care of their needs not their behaviour, & the question: Do you want me to listen or do you want me to help? and also his simple definition of executive functioning. Dean is such an inspiring speaker. Feedback: Some of Dean’s visuals were quite blurry & illegible. | 2022-04-02 18:17:52 |
10 | Extremely well | Dean’s personal stories, how autistic people view being social | 2022-04-01 15:10:12 |

Extremely well | they were all great, loved them all !! | 2022-03-24 19:22:12 | |
10 | Extremely well | The ways autistic people process everyday tasks and struggle in day to day activities. A good reminder that we all process things differently. | 2022-03-24 15:55:51 |
10 | Extremely well | I loved the entire course. I laughed and cried. I really related to the executive functioning lesson due to experiencing anxiety. I loved the social needs and emotions lesson and autistic joy lesson too. I found Dean engaging, funny and entertaining and would see him in person if I had the chance. | 2022-03-23 19:01:15 |

8 | Very well | Social and Emotional needs | 2022-03-08 17:22:37 |
10 | Extremely well | I loved the visual cards /wristbands about,or on a ring or on classroom about different colours on how they are feeling,..also you may be a good T A but if having a bad day,don’t take it to heart that someone else came along and settle/calm/what the situation was! Many others too,very good to listen too,and thankyou for extending my time on this course,as had a horrible time,when I was a time line,means alot 😇😉🙏 | 2022-03-07 15:27:45 |
10 | Extremely well | 2022-03-07 14:19:44 | |
10 | Very well | I’ve loved watching all the videos. I really loved watching the video about the impact a teacher’s assistant can make. Our importance is often overlooked by teachers. | 2022-03-07 12:53:00 |
8 | Somewhat well | The whole of part two was very eye opening and challenged my point of view | 2022-03-04 14:39:32 |
10 | Extremely well | I found it all really useful – and it reinforced the fact that the school I work with actually do a lot, if not all of the suggested strategies. My favourite is being in a class and helping everyone. For two reasons – one, a lot of kids are happy to get help, and two, it takes the focus off of the student I am working with. | 2022-03-04 14:37:55 |
10 | Extremely well | That being on computer games with others is classed as ‘socialising’. Autistic people struggle to understand us and we also struggle to understand them. Autistic people endlessly take time to process, hence why they take so much time to complete tasks. They use a lot of their energy so get tired easily and need time to recover. Great tutorial chart to show student how their day/week went. So can see only a small part of their day/week was actually bad, take focus off that bad and see the good. Interesting to hear, ‘it’s okay to have EA for long period of time, …. a bond is encouraged’. As thought this was discouraged. Good for student to have ‘their rock to cling to’ and have the same and not be unpredictable. | 2022-03-03 21:05:16 |
7 | Somewhat well | just listening to him is v helpful | 2022-03-03 12:22:48 |

10 | Extremely well | i enjoyed the whole course with Dean. Its the first time i’ve done a course about Autistic people from a presenter who is autistic. I found all components of the course interesting and valuble. After 17 years as an SSO in schools and many hours of PD on this subject I found I learnt so much more and maybe I’ve misunderstood the best ways in which to support and understand each and everyone of my students. I found Dean easy to listen to and entertaining. He really is a credit to himself and for sharing what it is like to be autistic and helping the rest of the world to gain a better understanding. | 2022-01-26 18:31:26 |
9 | Very well | I found all the lessons very interesting. To have a better understanding that not all autistic people are the same and should not be put in the same category. | 2022-01-25 15:14:16 |
10 | Extremely well | Executive functioning | 2022-01-25 11:33:59 |
10 | Extremely well | Referencing Autistic People rather than ” a person with autism” So watching the language we use; learning that some autistic people have all consuming empathy (which I seem to have); that anxiety builds up like a pressure cooker; Also the frustrations of autistic people with executive functioniong and how easy it is for autistic people to be physically overwhelmed (also myself) and loved the Ladder of Trust; and explaining Alexithymia. I loved hearing what I already believe that autistic (& neuerodiverse) are just part of the rich diversity of our society and don’t need solutions (just their rightful needs met). It was affirming to hear both Teachers and Angels (in ACT we call them LSA’s ie Learning Support Assistants) need to collaborate together but, many teachers do overlook the thoughts and creativity of LSA’s (sadly regularly) so I would love to see Teachers emphatically encouraged to Team-Teach with their LSA’s. It was great to have tips of building student’s sense of self when not permitted to use the “autistic”word and I can’t wait to use the sentence, “You’ve achieved this/that because your’re autistic, not despite it” to many students but especially one I was able to bond with. It helped to hear we can’t all bond with the same student also (very freeing). I found the different models explained, ie the medical model and the social model very insightful and especially found it useful being given ideas of improving our language (removing judgement where possible) and best ways to call autistic people, given that some may not have a learning disability. I really appreciated the last session on Autistic Joy. | 2022-01-24 17:27:06 |
10 | Extremely well | I loved all of the personal stories. The myth busting and Executive Functioning lessons were the most helpful. I found the whole course very informative and inspiring. | 2022-01-23 16:24:18 |
10 | Extremely well | I found all the lessons helpful especially from Deans perspective as a child who was seen as a behaviour problem.really got me thinking about how I can make life easier for a child to navigate school and ask the child what there needs are not tell them what they need. | 2022-01-20 23:13:57 |

9 | Extremely well | I found that all of the information given was helpful. It consolidated some of the information that I already knew and helped break some of the other false information that I had previously been told and also through personal experiences with my own son at school.

10 | Extremely well | I took something from every one of the lessons. I sat here nodding and shaking my head at different things – acknowledging I need to change the way I communicate. I will always try to remember the phrase “the word normal is harmful”. | 2022-01-07 12:38:51 |
Very well | I found it very insightful | 2022-01-06 14:53:29 | |

10 | Extremely well | I found the whole package well worth the time invested. Dean is an engaging speaker, his anecdotes eye opening, thought provoking and relevant to making his point/supportive of his advice in how best to support an autistic learner. There were at least two (but most often more) take aways (or aha moments) from each of the lessons. | 2021-10-11 15:09:02 |

10 | Extremely well | Lesson 3, Social Needs and Emotions. I am a Teachers Aide working in a unit in a mainstream school. Whilst education regarding “Special Needs” students is getting out there, a lot of our mainstream teachers struggle to get to know our children and take things on face value.

The reason why I ordered this book was to gain a deeper understanding as to how to change your communication style to make it more understandable to Autistic people.

7 | Very well | Lessons 1,2,3 and 7 There was a little repetition in a couple of the lessons. I thought it was good from the point of view of getting more insight to someone with ASD’s perspective – what worked well for them and what they considered to be the barriers. | 2021-10-01 16:52:16 |
