Abstract
As an Initial Teacher Education lecturer, I am privileged to be able to support autistic trainee teachers on their PGCE journeys. Although traditional conceptualisation of autism understanding in education is around pupils, we know that autistic children grow up into autistic adults and it should not surprise us that some of these adults choose to become teachers. This article explores articulations of autistic experience by English teachers, and discusses how these voices might support - and enhance - our teaching of English with autistic pupils.
