Sam Evans@samevans.bsky.social · last yr.Looking back to this time last week when #Readerful won the ERA Award for best Primary Resource or Equipment Non-ICT. 👏🏆 Fantastic recognition for the OUP Primary Literacy team and all the amazing authors & illustrators who've worked on the Readerful series! 🥳📚✨ #UKEd #EduSky #KidLitUK
We had an incredibly productive day yesterday at the House of Lords Autism Act 2009 Committee giving our autistic perspectives and sharing our priorities with those that will take forward their evidence and findings to the government. Having a voice at this level is incredibly powerful.
Cracked open a fresh new journal ready for tomorrow's session in the House of Lords to have a private session with the 2009 Autism Act Committee. We need to see progress in all industries and support for us to access employment and health care needs.
I almost fainted! Well they've now set the baseline of my fitness. Will be going through three months of physical exercises then anothe assessment. I hope to see positive changes in my mood, and feelings as a result of at least moving more.

Had another brill DYCP session with @finlaysonpalmer.bsky.social talked about rejections and processing them. Last week we looked at starting and making time for writing. I'm just grateful that I have these as I've been feeling quite low about it all and needed this to remind me I am still a writer!
I received a rejection today...the one time I wish it was an April fools joke 😭😭😭
I sometimes question how much I'm taking on! But it's just too exciting not to lean in ...

It's only Tuesday and I've already filled up a week's worth of work. From #dycp project, Parliamentary visit as Autism Champion, SEN workshopping to Heritage planning. And now I've just completed my final prep for tomorrow's autism training for an Ambulance service. Tip: Naps in between helps a lot!
I've been selected to be one of the speakers at this year's Autism &ADHD Show in London, June. Last year was all about Autism and Migration experience this year it's Autism and Employment. Plus next week I get to visit House of Parliament as Autistic Champion again.

Every once in a while when I hear the “women can’t write” BS doing the rounds I like to remind folk that the first known author was a woman. 😉

After moving out of my office 4 months ago, I finally have a dining table to write on!
Do we fit the person to the job or do we fit the job to the person? What if we can untap talent by creating suitable roles individualised for specific people? I'm exploring this idea for our SEN community.
Our autistic children become autistic adults and have strengths, challenges and needs that are untapped and neglected when they grow up wanting to work. So many concerned parents are contacting me about their children's needs. Something needs to be done to support all parties.
