11. Do you teach in 2 hour blokes, too?
I’m very fortunate and any ‘excelling’ is as much to do with those around me as it is do with anything I can do or indeed do-do.
Education and indeed the workplace can benefit from different minds.
As long as we see this as a ‘dis’ability instead of a ‘different ability’ we stifle creativity and stigmatise.
We may need a little help to fit in the box, but if you ever want help outside of it – give us a shout.
Understand yourself, put things in place and be proud of it.
