FINDING AUTISTIC JOY AND MORE – AND INTERVIEW WITHΒ DEAN BEADLE
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.Β 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 Deanβs work and have toured with him in the past. He is so inspiring and Iβm sure you will all enjoy listening to Deanβs personal experience and insight as much as I did!
