I loved my chat with rugby referee Aimee Barrett-Theron. It was fascinating to hear how she's navigated life as a pro athlete & the ways that being autistic is helpful for reffing

I loved chatting to Gemma about autistic communication and genuinely inclusive research.
Also, her book is marvellous!

For a long time, our understanding of autistic communication was based on assumptions made by non-autistic researchers. In this podcast, we chat to autistic researcher, Gemma Williams about her neurodiversity-affirming approach to communication.

I learned so much from my conversation with @ZarahDoyle. She has so much knowledge and is a delight to chat to!
In our latest podcast we chat to Zarah Doyle, Training and Accreditation Manager with AsIAm. She shares her insight and we chat about her own experience as a multiply neurodivergent parent and professional.

I loved getting a chance to chat to Jess. She is so clever and an absolute joy!
In our latest podcast, we chat to comedian, playwright and author, Jess Thom aka TourettesHero. She talks about her experience living with Tourettes Syndrome and how she’s reclaiming and reframing this misunderstood condition.
