Reasonable adjustments/Access to work for autistic teacher

Hi! I am not a teacher however, you may find the book ‘Learning from Autistic Teachers’ useful:

Thanks! I have this book. I’ve done quite a bit of research so far and it does seem that autistic teachers are mainly ex like Pete Wharmby or very part time. It’s a punishing job for NTs (massive recruitment & retention crisis) let alone us autists.

Yes I completely understand why, school environments often lead to burnout for both autistic students and staff. It’s a shame though our younger neurokin need autistic role models who understand their neurology intuitively.

Unless the education system is overhauled massively then, I think both autistic students and staff will continue to experience burnout.
