Today I talk about FAQ's that I am often asked and also talk about how Autism can be a great fit for small business owners when they want to become self-employed. Understanding more around Autism means that this sort of education and learning can break down barriers and myths of the unknowns around this condition so that those with ASD can live in a more supportive community.  Those with Autism get a chance to really shine their lights even more brightly and shed off any old (and often misplaced) stigmas associated with it once this condition is more widely understood and small adaptations are made to help them fit in to the fast paced, mainstream Neuro Typical world of today.

As its World Autism Acceptance Week from 27th March 2023 - 2nd April 2023 I wanted to continue on shining a light on this neurodiverse condition to make it more widely spoken about and understood. Autism is often misunderstood and given an unnecessary stigma when in fact it really gives a wonderful richness to a persons character.  I talk today about my own insights and journey to finding out that I have had ASD and autism and around how I have coped with the challenges of feeling different and trying to adapt and fit in to a neuro typical world that really doesn't understand the way my brain operates. It's been a very interesting and useful process to learning more about how and why I behave and feel the way I do in both personal, social and business circles and speaking with Kim helps to give a much greater awareness to anyone who might be hearing or understanding about neuro diversity and Autism for the first time.

Jane's interest in the business world began in France and then she joined hypermarket company Savacentre Ltd before becoming the youngest store manager ever appointed by high street chain Argos. After a nine-year break to have a family, Jane was asked to teach Business Studies, Retail Management, Customer Service, Hospitality and Life Skills at North Hertfordshire College. Simultaneously, she undertook a Certificate of Education with Greenwich University and then joined the charity Young Enterprise – initially as a volunteer and then as a full-time member of staff.

Ellie  is the owner of Ellie English, where she supports adult professionals who speak English as a second language with their fluency and language confidence. Through her background as a teacher and her membership, she has built her business around helping others to improve their spoken language, to both blend in and feel comfortable during conversations. Ellie is a self-described “huge introvert” and speaking in front of big audiences did not come naturally to her. She had to learn skills that so many of her peers found easy but because of these experiences, it is her honest opinion that the skills needed to succeed in any type of speaking are very similar:  - you need to structure your language - you need to understand your audience - you need to anticipate things not going to plan  - you need a goal. ⁠ This is where she helps.

Jo describes herself as an Edinburgh-based, Celtic history-obsessed, space holding 'firebrand'.  FYI, a firebrand is a person who is passionate about a cause, or a burning piece of wood and Jo sees herself as both.
