Autistica – Insight Group
I am a member of the Autistica Insight Group and help manage academic research that benefits the autistic and neurodiverse communities. I also am on the steering committees of two important studies to benefit autistic communities. Find Autistica at https://www.autistica.org.uk/
I co-chaired a panel during Autistica’s 2020 Research Festival. The topic was ‘Quality of life, stress and wellbeing’. Find this event here on youtube:
Autscape – Chair
I chaired five events at Autscape 2020, including talks and discussion groups. I also facilitated events and talks at Autscape 2021. I missed Autscape 2022, but I will be back in force 2023.
Autistic Pride
I have run several Autistic Pride events, such as Autistic Pride 2019 in Oxford and AutWell Autistic Pride at Bath Spa University in 2023. Please contact me for more information and if you’d like my feedback/input/presence at your Autistic Pride event.
Simply Equality Podcast
In March 2021, Sarah Stephenson-Hunter invited me onto her podcast, The Simply Equality podcast, which focuses on the intersection between queerness and disability. Have a listen below, or on Sarah’s host site: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1205351/8152632
Autistic Conflict Resolution
Autistic people are vulnerable to being involved in conflicts, both with other autistics and with our neurotypical peers because of our innate differences to them. Conflict resolution is difficult between anyone, but the intuitive strategies commonly used are not fit for purpose with autistic people. I am highly experienced in resolving conflicts with and between autistic people. Please contact me if you have questions.
Personal Assistant/Mentorship
I work as an autistic mentor and autistic PA, on top of my work as an educator. Please contact me if you want to find out more.
Queer Neurodivergent Writers’ Group with Out on the Page
As part of Autistic Pride 2023, I will be running a Queer Neurodivergent Writers’ Group with Out on the Page. This will be a trial for a long-term, Arts Council funded programme. Please join if you’re queer, identify as neurodivergent and wish to find others who love writing and want to band together with others like you.
