Daring to be different “Learning from Autistic teachers - How to Be a Neurodiversity-Inclusive School ” I chat with two of the authors Madge Woollard a music teacher and Autistic Advocate and Susanna Matthan is a Freelance specialist teacher, full time student and Positive Autistic Advocate.  We chat about the book, the realities of being an Autistic teacher and working with Autistic children, later life autism diagnosis, the risks of coming out as Neurodivergent at work &amp; University, asking for reasonable adjustments at work, gender and neurodivergence. Welcome to the Sam Grierson interview series, chatting to change makers who have Dared to Be Different and stand up and speak out. We discuss social change that has occurred over the last 30 years, how language has evolved and is evolving and how we still have more work to do. I am interested to look at the role that the Arts play, to both inspire, provoke, educate and support social change.

Daring to be different with Learning from Autistic teachers Madge Woollard & Susanna Matthan

In this episode, Madge Woollard celebrates her autism and talks about her long career as a piano teacher, being in a great marriage with her wife Jo, and the cat cafe! Madge was very much supported by her teachers at school so she could follow her passion of music, which lead to her winning a scholarship to Cambridge University. But it hasn’t all been plain sailing; as a teenager, Madge had an eating disorder, and she has struggled through menopause. She was a joy to interview, sharing her personal life, challenges and successes, and her positivity is contagious.  She also talks about her collaboration on a truly meaningful new book about autism for teachers, and about her passion for writing music, including theme tunes.
