I may have (ongoing?) Issues with security here at THORPE but oh my first aid are bloody fantastic.
They handled interacting with me as an AAC user brilliantly during a friends medical emergency last week and about an hour ago when I ended up overloaded and in autistic shutdown were great when I had ran then and asked to sit somewhere quiet.
The person at first aid did everything you should do when an autistic person is overloaded and in distress, they offered me somewhere quieter (then just first aid lobby), reduced number of people passing through by red carding the window (do not disturb), asked if I wanted the lights on or off and was writing their questions to Me.
Unlike the usual AAC=deaf assumption she mentioned later she was trying to avoid overloading me (can happen with vocal speech) and kept popping in to check it I was ok and trying to cheer me up.
*Edit also asked if I needed something and was watching for hand gestures after mistaking it for the sign for thanks grabbed me a bottle of water.
Absolutly textbook (written by an autistic not about) perfection.
