05.01.2022 Titanium X, the newly released debut album from our talented student Ben Pinnock aka B.P.R.is the result of two years hard work. Originally starting out as a project to learn how to use the music software Launchpad, it has since developed into 12 tracks and a journey through a variety of different moods and sounds. From the sleepy Sunday vibe of lead single ‘Walking on the Ocean’ to dancefloor starter ‘Do Your Dance’, Titanium X is the perfect musical companion to dinner part...ies and study sessions alike. Ben is currently in Digital Music, Radio, Film and photography programs and an exciting talent to watch in the future if Titanium X is anything to go by! Be sure to check it out today on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ffrwdGqXC0HXgpsaOb27Q Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ben-Pinnock-music-110512697012689

03.01.2022 Why are transitions between activities often so hard for neurodivergent people? Erin Human created 'The Tendril Theory' based on lived experience: IMAGE: 'Why i...t’s hard to switch tasks (Let’s call it Tendril Theory).' Line drawings of a person with many curly lines popping out of their head when they are engaged in a task and no lines when they are ready to switch tasks. IMAGE TEXT: 'When I’m focused on something / My mind sends out a million tendrils of thought / Expands into all of the thoughts & feelings / When I need to switch tasks / I must retract all of the tendrils of my mind / This takes some time / Eventually I can shift to the new task / But when I am interrupted or must switch abruptly / It feels like all of the tendrils are being ripped out / That’s why I don’t react well / Please just give me time / To switch tasks when I’m ready.' For some practical tips on how to honour those tendrils while supporting transitions, please see this piece from Carrie Contey, PhD. (view here: tinyurl.com/y4d6vkmo)
