Dean is in his 20s and has autism. He talks to parents, teachers and carers about his experiences growing up and how he developed strategies to help him succeed in life. I have been lucky enough to hear him speak today at our INSET day and I saw him a few months ago too. He reminds us of the important role humour plays in helping us to diffuse conflicts and points out people with autism do have unique challenges but in the end he reminds us that humans have more similarities than differences.
It is so important for us to remember this during these difficult times with refugees seeking a release from torture by fleeing their home desperate to find a place of safety for their family.
We are basically human first before we start categorising people according to nationality, religion or condition.
We need to ask ourselves before we judge or condemn people for their actions.
What would we do if we found ourselves in a similar situation?
