Neurodiversity In Education #5: How To Support Autistic Students Through Transitions | Ep. 28

In the final episode of the Neurodiversity in Education series, I’m joined one last time by the brilliant Maria as I prepared to leave my small specialist music college. Together, we dive into the topic of transitions in education —why they’re so tough, especially for autistic and neurodivergent people, and how we can make them easier.


We talk about the pain of uncertainty, why early planning matters, and how support systems can make all the difference. I also share my personal journey of finding the right next step—a specialist autism day centre—and how that process was full of both challenges and hope.


We cover: • Why transitions are overwhelming for autistic people

• What helped me feel more prepared

• The emotional toll of waiting and uncertainty

• Tips for families, professionals, and students themselves

• What to do if a new placement doesn’t feel right

• The importance of closure, keeping in touch, and finding your people Whether you’re facing a move yourself or supporting someone else through one, this episode is full of honesty, encouragement, and real-world advice.
