My goal is to reduce anxiety for all Neurotypes through awareness, acceptance and understanding. 

 

Hello, I'm Tigger Pritchard, Awesomely Neurodivergent and an Autistic and PDA Advocate, Consultant and Trainer based in the Southwest of England. I realised I was Autistic several years ago. (Though many friends have told me they knew many years ago!).I've self identified since then, and at the moment I'm progressing down the right to choose route via the NHS.

​

I have over thirty-six years of professional and personal experience of working alongside, learning from and advocating for neurodivergent individuals. I've done this in many different ways: support worker, advocate, teacher, facilitator, trainer, manager, lecturer and friend. (For further information, please see my LinkedIn profile.)  Plus, I have a lifetime of Autistic experience, which I'm still exploring. I'm also proud to be one of the longest serving Makaton Tutors in the world, having gained my licence back in 1991.

​

We're all on a journey, my understanding of what it means to be Neurodivergent has and will continue to change. I do my very best to keep up to date, my thoughts are continually being reframed and will always do so, as new thoughts, ideas and approaches emerge. 

 

This is all linked to a very personal insight regarding a world I'm so passionate about. My focus is raising understanding and acceptance of Neurodiversity; accepting people for who they are and not trying to fit them into any "Neurotypical box" and understanding that one size does not fit all. To support all to be Neuroaffirming.

 

Using my extensive experience, knowledge, teaching practice and personal insight, I pass on my skills through my training and consultancy work both face to face and online by supporting individuals, families, corporate organisations and educational settings on a consultancy basis.
