What if doodling isn't a distraction, but a way of staying regulated? ⁣
⁣
For some neurodivergent students, doodling might help them feel calmer, manage restlessness or get through a long lesson.⁣
⁣
A strategy doesn't have to improve academic performance to be valuable.⁣
⁣
Attention doesn't always look like stillness. Maybe it's time we asked students what actually helps them.⁣

We are so lucky to have mad_madlie as the illustrator for our work. When we started Pocket Psych- we knew we wanted something really visually engaging and special. mad_madlie work inspires us every time we receive it. We are often asked do you guys use AI for your illustrations. The answer is nope! So proud to use illustrations created by humans- for humans.

“𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨.” “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.”⁣
Or maybe you’re watching two completely different ways of thinking.⁣
⁣
Some people find the thought by talking. Others need time to find the thought before they speak.⁣
⁣
Sometimes difference gets lost in translation.⁣

As someone deep in the high school transition world, it can be really jarring hearing the narrative we have around our 11/12 year olds. I feel like the soup we swim in really disconnects us from what matters for our kids long-term wellbeing. As parents (and clinicians) of ND kids, we are forced to confront the reality of this system earlier than most. But the issue is NOT just a problem for ND kids and their families. This system affects all our children and how we value and interact with them. I've always felt like our ND kids are the canaries in the coal mine letting us know things aren't working.

It‘s School Avoidance Awareness Week. Understanding that for many ND kids- scjool involves a mix of overwhelming social sensory and execute function demands is key to understanding the why.

Can screen boundaries actually be neuroaffirming? Absolutely.⁣
⁣
For neurodivergent kids, technology can offer connection, predictability, access to interests and lower-demand ways to socialise.⁣
⁣
That doesn’t mean there aren’t risks worth paying attention to.⁣
⁣
Instead of only asking “How much screen time?”, we can also ask:⁣
⁣
What are they doing?⁣
What need is it meeting?⁣
And what impact is it having?⁣
⁣
Neuroaffirming doesn’t mean no boundaries. It means creating boundaries that make sense for the young person in front of you.⁣
⁣
Our Teens & Screens Guide helps teens build a healthier, more intentional relationship with technology (without shame or scare tactics).⁣

After-school sport can be so much more than just sport.⁣
⁣
It can be a chance to make friends outside of school, regulate, learn new skills, build confidence — and find a sport they love.⁣
⁣
But for many autistic kids, wanting to participate isn’t the problem.⁣
⁣
Too many sporting environments still lack the understanding, flexibility and awareness needed to be truly inclusive.⁣
⁣
This brilliant Australian research highlights the gap between autistic kids wanting to participate and actually being able to access sport in a way that works for them.⁣
⁣
Autistic kids are telling us they 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 be part of the sporting world.⁣
⁣
We can do better at making sure they belong there.⁣

Orientation Day can tell you a lot about whether a school truly understands accommodation. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Because “they can leave if it gets too much” isn’t inclusion — good support reduces the barriers before a student reaches that point.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Structure isn’t restrictive. For many autistic students, it’s what makes participation possible.⁣⁣
