Summary
  1. "In this strikingly honest collection, developed from a pioneering new research project, autistic teachers and other autistic school professionals share their stories of the challenges and successes of their careers. Contributors challenge assumptions and stereotypes whilst highlighting the unique strengths autistic staff can bring to schools when their own needs are accommodated. The book explores exclusion and identity, understanding and acceptance, intersectionality and facilitating inclusion, and celebrates the many positives that come with being an autistic teacher. It also describes the circumstances and training needs that can enable the whole school community to benefit from the unique skills and insights of neurodivergent educators."--Page 4 of cover.
