As a side note, I (@Kirstie_OT) will be aiming to use only Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory gifs/photos for tonights chat. I have no reason, other than because I can 🤷🏻‍♀️ #OTalk https://t.co/wLaIEQ6FIm

@GeorgiaVineOT A few minutes ago, I retweeted a thread about autistics and telephone calls. I am able to handle them just fine now, including teleconference calls. That said, this format is hard for some autistic OT’s to get involved in our profession. #otalk

@GeorgiaVineOT Yeah- hour long teleconference calls is preferred format of operation for the OT committees I am involved in in the USA... because it is tough to gather people from possibly 4 different time zones at the same time. #otalk

It has been difficult for service users in most Africa countries. 1.Due to insufficient service provider: When there are no enough service providers (health sector) it's very risky for us . Imagine where an OT has to attend to dozens of clients. @GeorgiaVineOT #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@sobayooluwatobi @GeorgiaVineOT Actually even in the states, this can happen too. Heard an ex classmate of mine having 100+ kids on his school based case load some time ago. #otalk

@GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ In academia, this has become common knowledge to my students. I had some students say, “I watched your first TEDx talk.” Plus, I also guest lectured my share too. #otalk

2.when I book an appointment with a service provider I get delayed most time due to number of people he/she has to attend to. @GeorgiaVineOT #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@margaretOT360 In my case, it also has an added benefit in form of this message... Grades don’t matter in success for OT. Your heart, passion, and motivation matter more! #otalk

@OT_rach Or in my case will now be an added factor- given I could be a past/future instructor for my placement students, since I only take them from the programs I am teaching. #otalk
JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy
@GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ Sometimes I disclose my experience with anxiety. I feel it helps clients feel less nervous in participating in my interventions. I also make sure I educate them on how common it is. #otalk #reducingstigma

Were half way through tonights #OTalk, where does the time go https://t.co/k4gHsgg5pN
JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy
@BillWongOT @margaretOT360 Exactly! You can't learn the empathy and warmth that a good OT has #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_rach Oh- because I only take students from one uni now, and it is the one I teach at. So, for me timing of disclosing, especially if they will have me in class in the future, doesn’t matter to my case. #otalk

Sometimes I feel like I am a poster child of an autistic OT practitioner- being so involved and going around the globe. But I do what I do so that I can show my autistic peers that certain things are actually possible in a concrete way. #otalk

@EllieOTforKids @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ I have heard some OT’s say I am inspirational to them. But at the end of the day, I still got a lot to learn and improve on still. I am nowhere a finished product yet. I consider myself one after my career is over. #otalk

@GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ To enhance the practice ,I tell them about people and client who had the same story with theirs and how they are better presently ,this will really enhance them and make my work effective. And creating more awareness about occupational therapy will help too #OTalk @GeorgiaVineOT
