Spectrum and SEND Sunday #45

Spectrum and SEND Sunday 45

Hello and welcome to Spectrum and SEND Sunday 45. This week, I am linking one new post ‘Autism is not a line – when labels become a barrier‘ and one post from the archives, ‘No Apologies’. I have had an extremely busy week and have not had time to write much else. As well as many appointments, including a speech and language assessment for Biggest, we also went to see Ben and Holly Live and I had a blogging event in London. Then Biggest contracted Scarlet Fever yesterday, which is why the linky is late!

Our favourite post last time was ‘Marbles’ from Matthew Blythe – Me and the Minis. Many of us will relate to the analogy of collecting marbles for the ways that small things become impossible to manage.

Many thanks to my co-host, Ann at Rainbows are too beautiful, for hosting the last linky. Remember, the linky runs once a fortnight, alternating hosting. We really want to make sure that everyone with a post gets to link up and so we will keep the it open for thirteen days – Sunday until the Saturday nearly two weeks later. Hopefully, this should mean that everyone can link up, even though the linky is every two weeks.

We would also like to remind you that you can use the hashtag #spectrum_sunday on Instagram (make sure you remember the underscore!) and check out the Spectrum and SEND Sunday board on Pinterest here. We pin everyone’s posts to the Pinterest board each week so do check out and re-pin any posts that you enjoy there too.
