So it makes me look like I'm.
like doing things so for example access to work so i talk about access to work they asked me how much money i got for access to work um and in one year i got 56 000 pounds i don't personally get that money it goes on like it goes on things that i need for my business to help me help to keep me in a job um but the way the way they wrote around it it was like um maddie alexander maddie alexander grout gloats that she got 56 000 and it's like words like that and it's like that's
cheeky and a bit rude so whenever it happens again i screenshot it i go onto my social media and i'm like some pic of this article maddie alexander grout floats and i'm like i just take the piss out of it and it's just like it it's it is about building that resilience it's
You don't know how you're going to react until you're in that moment.
But I always say to people, my inbox is always open if you get negative press, if something happens.
But again, like, you know, this is what working with somebody who looks after your PR is good.
You know, that reputational damage point, you're experienced in dealing with that and helping people through that situation.
But if people just want an ear and they're like, you know, how do I deal with this?
I'm like, let's create some content.
I've got loads of ideas for you.
Let's crack on.
Oh, I don't remember that.
What happened?
yeah so i had something similar actually so not similar as in like i don't think i'm that much of a celebrity to go and get free cakes but um this is one of the things and i i like to remind people about posting within your values if it and always check things back before you post them never post in anger um it's because otherwise it's like you know and i always have like don't look back in anger thing like i had a really bad experience in a well-known supermarket
And essentially, as an autistic person, I don't go to the supermarket very often because I often have meltdowns in supermarkets.
And I got to the till.
It was really busy.
And I was buying stuff for my daughter's birthday party.
And I bought a multi-pack of crisps and all the crisps had fallen out of the bottom.
So I only had the empty bag of crisps.
