Really felt the need to post this on our page this morning. Shame on the The Telegraph for publishing such a despicable article, truly an insult to the 700,000 autistic people in the UK. We call on the Telegraph to retract this article and publish something more honest, like how far we still have to go with our acceptance and understanding of our autistic community.

Such a great image about feelings ❤️

Love this. It reminds us of this advice from Laura, 21:

“Each morning, I mentally check in with myself to assess my mindset for the day ahead. This habit enables me to recognise my feelings, which helps me to better manage my emotions throughout the day. Also, I like to write my feelings down each morning to ensure that I continue my day with a clear and decluttered mindset.”

‘Police stop me because I look like a stereotypical lad’: The Piano’s unlikely new virtuoso star 13/06/2024

Amazing story of The Piano winner Brad Kella who credits his foster parents, Frank and Evelyn for turning his life around.

“When I got put in foster care, I was confused and scared. I clung to the railings outside their house, refusing to go in. But they gave us routine, regular bedtimes, took us to school. They gave us everything and more.” Kella was supposed to be there for one night. He ended up staying for 12 years ❤

‘Police stop me because I look like a stereotypical lad’: The Piano’s unlikely new virtuoso star Brad Kella had never had a piano lesson when he auditioned for the TV talent show at the age of 22. Now he’s in the final having wowed programme makers and audiences alike
