A lovely reflection from David Carter at the National Autistic Society, South Hampshire Branch.
“The large audience found the talk moving, entertaining and most inspirational.”
“He gave a unique insight into how autism has impacted on his life and how he has positively overcome many challenges along the way.”
Talks like this are where my neurodiversity work began: sharing lived experience honestly, while helping people understand autism beyond stereotypes and assumptions.
For me, the aim has always been to make neurodiversity feel human, relatable and useful — whether speaking to community groups, professionals, families or employers.
Because inclusion starts with better understanding, but it only matters when that understanding changes how we support people in real life.
