I can’t be the only one who has been on both sides of this, yeah?

    Happens to me 😅 I have a ok-but-pretty-noticeable stammer, but when I have to listen to someone else who have it worse I’m like « Is this what it feels like to listen to me?! »

    (Only internal monologue of course… I wouldn’t treat someone else like I’ve been treated 🫂)

      I have ASD1, and I have a few students who have it as well, possibly ASD2 for one of them. It is…a challenge sometimes, to say the least (which is how much I would LOVE if one of them would say sometimes as he rambles incessantly when I am otherwise occupied). I do my best to help my autistic students feel heard and to be understood while also giving them insight into their autistic traits that some (mostly neurotypical) people might find challenging and insight into how they might be able to fit in better with others.
