We are on a roll with role models at the moment!! Did you listen to last week’s podcast on why it’s so important to have role models with lived experience – check it out here.

One of my biggest role models is Dean Beadle, an autistic speaker and trainer. Dean is a proud promoter of the autistic voice, encouraging and empowering other autistic people to share their experiences and insights too. I am a huge fan of Dean’s work and have toured with him in the past. He is so inspiring and I’m sure you will all enjoy listening to Dean’s personal experience and insight as much as I did!

What this Podcast Contains:

✅ Autistic identity – follow Dean’s personal account of reclaiming his own identity
✅ Why Dean doesn’t like the word “label” and why we should call it a diagnosis
✅ The negative narrative which surrounds autism and how to positively reframe it
✅ How to make children the solution to behaviour rather than blaming them
✅ The impact of anxiety
