Very well | I found the first lesson “Meeting the needs of neurodiverse students” to be the most helpful as some of the strategies that were discussed I feel like we easy doable to implement in the classroom as a Teaching Assistant. | 15/6/2023 | 19071303128 | |

10 | Very well | Executive functioning – was interesting to hear about it from an Autistic persons point of view. | 9/6/2023 | 19069377661 |
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. | 7/6/2023 | 19068651726 |

8 | Somewhat well | I enjoy listening to Dean’s experiences. 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. | 23/10/2022 | 13575356008 |

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. | 17/8/2022 | 13536430239 |

5 | Somewhat well | All of the lessons are helpful but I find Lesson 3 most helpful specially when Dean offered that it’s good to tell an autistic person why you are asking instead of just telling them what to do. Dean also has a very good point that having an alone time doesn’t mean being isolated. | 1/8/2022 | 13526214263 |

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.

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. | 2/4/2022 | 13430904321 |

10 | Extremely well | I loved the entire course. I laughed and cried. I really related to the executive functioning lesson due to experiencing anxiety.

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 😇😉🙏 | 7/3/2022 | 13378048691 |

8 | Somewhat well | The whole of part two was very eye opening and challenged my point of view | 4/3/2022 | 13373067587 |
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. | 4/3/2022 | 13373065437 |
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. | 3/3/2022 | 13370712567 |

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. | 26/1/2022 | 13285721109 |
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. | 25/1/2022 | 13282630785 |

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. | 24/1/2022 | 13280047513 |
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. | 23/1/2022 | 13278749893 |
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. | 20/1/2022 | 13273005125 |
