Let's Talk Autism

I Went to a Specialist School

Meesh and Christelle Season 6 Episode 1

Back to School with Let's Talk Autism! 
Our new series of school based episodes is here! 
Kicking us off today we speak to fellow podcaster Connell from Instagram account @Conns.1
Connell tells us of his school journey in a specialist school. Connell was diagnosed aged 2 as autistic and was considered non verbal as a child. He shares his story with us from life as a pre verbal child in a special school to leaving school and beginning college. We talk about bullying and mental health and the gap between secondary education and further education. A fascinating chat with an inspirational young man.
