I will say that, to date, I haven't had any Reviewer 2 experiences personally (which I am very, very relieved about). The costume got a mix of laughs and "that is the scariest costume I have seen", so my mission was accomplished. I wish everyone good, constructive feedback. #Don'tBeAReviewer2

I was over the moon to find it, a lovely way to remember the trip too 😊

Thank you! It's been a huge learning curve as the glass is in quite tricky shapes and copper foiling is quite a bit different to my usual leading. I'm very proud of it 😊

That is often the way sadly, but if they ever do get I touch I will let you know. It has taken me a little bit of time to get used to the feed function, but it feels familiar and it is nice to see so many people I know from elsewhere.

Hi Caroline, lovely to see you here. We met at Autscape this year and spoke about libraries and accessibility. I hope you enjoy it here, so far I have been liking it on this platform.

I suggested this book to a book club of fellow PhDers at my uni, who chose it based on either a personal experience of or interest in learning more about autism and how to create a more accessible world. I'm looking forward to having conversations about it, there's so much to discuss in it.

For example, not every workplace would allow headphones to be worn without a prior discussion. It's about being mindful and considering what can be done to improve an environment. That is shared between an individual and the employer. It's okay to have needs, the point is they shouldn't be dismissed

I think there is a difference between entering a space where any person (autistic or not) is alone and changing that environment without speaking to them to check. Open plan offices are definitely more challenging, but there needs to be a fair balance where accommodations are made
