@LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD And I know on the other end... sometimes my friends need to say what they want to say to me. They do so out of care and love. Even those words can be hard to take, it is important to hear them rather than the sugar coated ones. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Helen_OTUK @LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD In terms of meeting other colleagues with LD, I will ask them what they want to hear first- a blunt honest version, or more of a sandwich approach version. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 As an autistic individual who is also an OT... here are what I am dealing with- 1. Perfectionism 2. Social communication/relationship building skills 3. Stubbornness (occasionally) #otalk

@OTthoughts @SamSly2 @JadeH_OT @RCOT_PLD That is why I am sharing my challenges today in our discussions. Although I am now a competent OT, issues still remain... and people working with me have to adjust to such. #otalk

Hello @OTalk_ #OTalk, I won’t lie... Im struggling to keep up because I’m watching the #BakeOff 🤭
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LeoKellerOT @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 And sometimes these behaviors for me- I had no idea I was doing that to people! I really have learned a lot about myself since I got my TEDx event license because I have to work w/ ppl who don’t know me well. #otalk
Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8
@HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD A lot of pressure to be professional in the notes etc transferring over to how we talk to to patients/clients #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Here is a thing unique to me- I fell into a success trap recently because of too much empowerment. Good friends might need to tell me, “You are gambling a lot! You need to stop and evaluate what you are thinking of. If you need someone to confide to, talk to me.” #otalk

@LeoKellerOT @HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD I wouldn’t use language that stigmatises people, I was more referring to OT or medical ‘jargon’ that might not be the individuals everyday language #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@laurafcliff @RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 For someone like me, be understanding that I need to occasionally rephrase what people say. Also, I have no sense of time sometimes with conversations/discussions. The person who wants that conversation needs to stop when it is really needed. #otalk

@LeoKellerOT @HelenJusticeOT @Lauren_OT @RCOT_PLD Yes I hate the use of challenging behaviour. Also terms used to describe personality disorder “traits” or behaviour. I found that uncomfortable on placement and challenged that people wouldn’t talk to the person directly like this #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Helen_OTUK @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Rather than keep on saying that “you can do it”... sometimes it is good idea to have honest conversation and not be afraid to say, “I only say this because I care about you as a friend. I am worried that you will crash and burn if you take a risk right here.” #otalk

@Helen_OTUK @SamSly2 @RCOT_PLD Like my building manager have asked me about being a director of rehab several times, I politely turned down because I didn’t feel the role is a good fit for my strengths and weaknesses. #otalk

#OTalk Question 4........
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 From my perspective as an autistic individual- I need to stop hurting other people’s feelings, especially those who don’t know me well. #otalk

@CelinaOTstudent @RCOT_PLD And another one will be acknowledging there can be multiple ways service users might prefer to call themselves. Read too many posts on person first language is the only way. #otalk

#OTalk question 5....... final question folks..... what is your #OTpledge
Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8
@RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 Remaining person centred... a term that’s thrown around a lot but if we check/challenge ourselves when working with people on whether we really are being person centred then we can consider all of the individuals needs including language #OTalk
grace collins @gracecollinsOT
@RCOT_PLD @SamSly2 I am going to ensure that the people I work with/care for know that I AM human too!💚 #otalk
