Harry Headshot+Web Size.png

Harry Thompson is an Autistic PDA adult, he is the author of the bestselling book - PDA Paradox, a public speaker, autistic educator, PDA ambassador, consultant & self-advocate. His audiences receive invaluable insights into neurodivergent experience, often delivered with controversial humour & brutal honesty.

Harry supports parents, families, teachers, professionals as well as neurodivergent adults by offering consultations, training & talks. Harry uses his social media platforms to educate & create (sometimes controversial) conversation with the aim to create a more inclusive society.

Harry is passionate about providing a platform for open conversation, where opinions are challenged (including his own), theories are shared and taboo subjects are discussed.

Harry advocates for the ND community to give them a voice, allowing them to celebrate their neurobiology and be seen as an important and much needed part of society. He regularly aims to educates his followers with a regular live interview series ‘The Naughty Autie in Conversation’ where he is joined each session by a guest speaker from the ND community to discuss important topics related to Autistic & ND experience.

Harry allows his audience to explore PDA from an insider’s perspective. From the families he works with to the schools & professionals he trains, it’s never about advice or strategies, but much more an exploration to invoke understanding. The more you understand PDA and how the mind of a PDAer operates, the closer you are to the individual - and the more those 'strategies (whatever they are)' will simply fall into place and become second nature.

What do Polish tutors know about autism?

Poland is a nation that uses a unique approach to schooling. Special education classrooms coexist with inclusive schools and mainstreaming programs. Even though social integration and school mainstreaming have a long history in Polish education, national and European laws continue to push for the most inclusive practices for kids, regardless of their unique special education needs. This is done to lessen social inequality. It is vital to raise each teacher's professional knowledge and practical abilities to achieve this goal. In inclusive settings, where all children—including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—can be placed successfully despite their unique disorders and receive appropriate treatment and acceptance from peers and Polish tutors, it may be possible to realize the idea of a school for all.

The number of emigrants to Poland increased significantly after 2020. Many people need to learn the language. Numerous online courses and language schools can help with this task. However, it is more difficult to find tutors to teach children of immigrants with autistic disorders. On the LiveXP you can find Polish tutors for all your requirements.
