This is my final paper from my PhD on loneliness in autistic adults at @craeioe.bsky.social @ioe.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk, co-authored with @lauramaycrane.bsky.social and @annaremington.bsky.social.

Because of past trauma, I’ve chosen to share much of my own story within the course space for now, where it feels safer and more supportive for both myself and participants. Come and see!

I spent a full year developing this course with great care, and I truly believe the support and depth of learning offered go far beyond the fee itself. The sessions are interactive and live, and I dedicate time to responding to each participant’s questions and experiences.

The course is evidence-based and deeply rooted in lived experience, including my own as a neurodivergent person living with complex health challenges. It also draws on my years of practice working with neurodivergent individuals and families across the world.

💬 “I wanted to say that I see how much like also emotional work is in this course because of the... I mean, it's also so much vulnerability because you share so many personal experiences.”

💬 “…we all love it [the course], that’s why we don’t want it to end.”

💬 “thank you all for being one of these places that embrace all of who we are 💚🩵💛”

Here are some of what previous participants shared:
💬 “I can’t recommend it enough. Solidly research based, fully referenced, delivered from a place of lived experience with profound awareness for the intersectionalities at play in this space.”

Thank you, Helen☺️
