Weekend vibes! ✨ It’s been a great day of maths - lots of averages, algebra and problem-solving! Now it’s time to recharge (my voice was definitely disappearing by my last class… oops!) Hoping for a little rest - and maybe a swim too! What’s your favourite way to rest and reset? Have fun! 😊🌈

Happy Easter everyone! I've been doing maths on the go, on my bank holiday weekend outing 😁🌻 I'll be sharing more soon! 🤩 Can you guess where I am? What are you up to this weekend? 🐰

Feeling far too amused that this face mask is “supercharged with probiotic fractions” - 2 million of them, apparently! 😆 Off to do some colouring while I imagine a flock of numerators and denominators working together to give me glowing, healthy skin. Now that’s maths magic 🪄

Three Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About Me! 1. I have a fluffy cat who loves licking my ears. 2. My favourite number is 4 - sometimes I even do things in 4s without thinking! 3. I have loads of cuddly toys. And yes, I cuddle them! 😆 What's your favourite fun fact about you or your pets? 🐾

Today's free maths class is cancelled - apologies! I'm listening to my own advice and taking a rest! Sometimes, the best thing we can do is recognise when we need a break, particularly as neurodivergent people. Thanks for understanding! My other classes are still running as usual 🌈

Chilling with tea this weekend - turmeric & ginger for warmth and lavender at night (which my cats love!) 🐱 I always leave the teabag in & sometimes top up the water a few times - yes, it's weak, but still tasty! 😆 Any tea recommendations? Bonus points if they smell nice enough to attract a cat! ☕🐾

A breakthrough moment: If I can do maths, what else can I do? 🤯 One student went from exam anxiety to aiming for A-level maths - proving to themselves they’re capable of more than they ever thought! Maths is about confidence, and thinking differently. 🧮 I'd love to help your learner too! 🌈

It’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and this year’s theme #KnowYourselfGrowYourself got me reflecting. As a child, I struggled with anxiety. I didn’t know I was neurodivergent - or that school isn’t the best place for every learner. 💬 What advice would you give your younger self?

Things not to say when someone tells you they’re autistic: - “Everyone’s a bit autistic” - “Officially diagnosed or self-diagnosed?” - “But you seem so normal” - “You must be just like [name of another autistic person] then” - “Seems to be a trend these days” - “You don’t look #autistic” #autism

Autistic self-care is so important after the overwhelm of Christmas. Especially if, like me, you couldn’t safely unmask very much So here are some things you might want to consider (see poster) I’m trying to focus on rest, relaxing hobbies, sensory needs & alone time ❤️ #autism #burnout #selfcare

A pastel graphic with the title “After the Christmas overwhelm - taking care of your autistic needs”

With these suggestions:

- be kind to yourself
- calming activities
- alone time
- journaling to process emotions
- walks in nature
- favourite/ safe foods
- cosy, comfortable clothes
- low lighting
- listen to your body e.g. sleep, hydrate

Highly recommend Robin Robin on Netflix - heartwarming, gorgeous and resonated w/ me as a ND person! Robin, a bird raised by mice, struggles to fit in - sneaking doesn't come naturally - reminding me of masking in neurotypical spaces. Her journey to embrace her differences and strengths is magical ✨
