In recent weeks there has been a healthy explosion of writing and broadcasting about neurodiversity in general and autism in particular. I'm looking at you, Fern Brady! And tonight I will be watching the second documentary in Chris Packham's riveting BBC2 series 'Inside Our Autistic Minds'.
In my Alexander Technique teaching too there has been an increase in young students (age 15-21) who have an autism spectrum diagnosis. In each case, they have come because of 'posture-related' pain issues linked to their hypermobility - hypermobility being a recognised co-occurrence of autism. The surprise has been that the Alexander Technique has not only helped in this regard but has also helped them to - in the words of one parent - "think in a different way".
