A table of nature crafts is set up in the woods. We can see baskets of wool, pine cones and leaves. There are handmade stick and wool decorations hanging from a string above the table. We can see a person in the background using some of materials, and hands reaching into the materials at either side of the photo. Text overlays the photo saying: 60% of adults working in the outdoor sector identify as neurodivergent (compared to UK national average of 15-20%)

Over 60% of #outdoorprofessionals identify as neurodivergent (vs ~15–20% UK average).

The outdoors attracts creative, sensory-aware thinkers - but training & systems don’t always reflect that.

The sector can lead in #neuroaffirming practice.

Does this resonate with you? What helps you thrive?

A young person standing in what looks like a school outdoor play area. He is wearing a black winter jacket and gloves. We can't tell the colour of the gloves as they are covered in mud. He is looking down at his hands, as he has cupped them together to allow him to gently hold a worm, in amongst all the mud on his gloves.

Reminder to anyone working outdoors with children and young people...

You don't need perfect sessions. You need real ones. The connection matters more than the plan.

143: Food Touching

Photo Description:
Panel 1: In the middle of a diagonal frost covered dirt path surrounded by lifeless sunflowers on either side are a pygmy owl named Coffee and a black-capped chickadee named Trail Mix. There are a couple of fallen sunflowers on the ground being covered by snow and ice.
The sky is light blue with white clouds and light snowfall.
In between the two birds are a mixture of bird seed and peanuts. 
At the same time, Trail Mix says, "Oh yay the food is touching and mixed!"
while Coffee says, "Oh no, the food is touching and mixed..."

Panel 2: Trail Mix continues, "The mixed flavors give me such a sensory surprise that I love."

Panel 3: He finishes, "It's why Trail Mix is my chosen name."

Panel 4: Coffee responds, "It's a sensory nope for me. Interesting how food preference is such a spectrum also."

Do you need your food separated at all costs or are you a mix everything kind of person? I am personally Trail Mix. haha

Many autistic teens get labeled “difficult” the moment they stop pretending.
But unmasking is a sign of trust — not misbehavior.

This cycle shows how autistic teens move from overload to recovery when support comes first.
The goal isn’t tolerance.

🧠 ADHD isn’t a motivation problem.
It’s an executive function challenge.

You’re not broken.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not failing.

You don’t need more discipline.
You need better systems.
