Sandra Thom-Jones on Growing into Autism

Duration: 60 minutes

We’ve recently seen an expansion of thinking around autism, with a particular focus on the experience of neurodivergent women. Often misdiagnosed or ignored, many women have struggled with the pressure to present a neurotypical façade. Professor Sandra Thom-Jones discusses how understanding her autism has empowered her as a researcher, educator and parent, and the importance of enabling the full participation of autistic people in society.
