At Personal Bests, we want to make sure everyone feels welcome at our event.
That means doing our best to help people who have both a learning disability and autism.
Our Executive Director, Betty Chadwick, is also our Autism Ambassador. She has been helping our team — including coaches, volunteers, and event organisers — learn more about autism.
She ran some webinars on Teams to explain what might be hard for some of our autistic participants and how we can help make things easier for them.
We want to say a big thank you to our Autism Experts — James, Jane, Anna and Stuart. They all have autism and a learning disability, so they know what it’s like and are able to share their own experiences. They gave us great advice and helped us understand that everyone with autism is different, with their own strengths and challenges.
At the bottom of this page, there's a video of one of the webinars. If any of our coaches or volunteers missed the live talks, we hope they will watch the video to learn more.
