Myth Number 2. Someone who is autistic cannot learn. Not true! They may just learn differently from the neurotypical population and need to be taught differently. #thinkINC
It's your 1 hour reminder to the Inclusion Hour. Join me, tonight, at 630pm to tweet, retweet and comment about inclusion. Positivity guaranteed! #thinkINC @smallbizshoutUK #MHHSBD @MichelleRoseG33 @WorbleThe @wecanaccess @vipmumsndads
Tony Attwood, a psychologist, writes, "social skills in children with autism includes self-isolation or rigid social approaches, while in AS there can be a motivation to socialise but this is achieved in a highly eccentric, one-sided, verbose & insensitive manner." #thinkINC
However, only about 25% of people with a learning disABILITY are known to support services. This, for me, is worrying. #thinkINC
We are nearly out of time. Thanks for joining me. The Inclusive Question of the Week is now open. DM your question about inclusion. I’ll pick one to answer tomorrow and post my answer on Twitter. Views my own! #thinkINC
I thought when I first started this hour that those with a disABILITY or who work or care for someone with additional needs would join in. They have! But I've also been pleasantly surprised about who else has joined in. #thinkINC
I’ll be looking at the Equality Act 2010 next week. #thinkINC
There had already been 14 attempts to push civil rights legislation for the disABLED community through Parliament between the early 1980s and mid-1990s. All had failed. I find this astonishing. #thinkINC
Hi & welcome to the Busy Life Inclusion Hour! Whose joining me this evening to like, comment, tweet and retweet about #disABILITY with a positive twist! All welcome! Just use #thinkINC. How are you all this evening? #welcome
Another organisation I've found really useful is a bit different; it's https://t.co/AcLxA1Jh8m. It's the internet's source of freely usable images. There are so many creatives on the website and the images are just stunning. #thinkINC #loveunsplash @unsplash
Many autistic people have sensory issues. This can affect one or more of the senses and they can be either over-developed (hypersensitive) or under-developed (hyposensitive). Both can have an impact on how people experience different environments. #thinkINC

Ensure disABILITY awareness is an integral part of your customer services training for all personnel. Everyone needs to be on board and support selling to the purple pound! #thinkINC
If possible, sign up to the Government’s Disability Confident accreditation scheme. This requires you too make a commitment to the recruitment & retention of employees with a disABILITY. #thinkINC
This hour is called, “The Purple Pound”. #thinkINC
Scoliosis @SRS_org is another rare disease. A person's spine has a sideways curve. usually "S"- or "C"-shaped. In some, the degree of curve is stable, while in others, it increases over time. #scoliosis #thinkINC
