Autism
Many years since I was graduated at the University of Northampton I was diagnosed Asperger Syndrome a mild form of autism. the diagnosis is despite I appear to articulate independent and appear intelligent. However, this has led to several life challenges & boundaries when I am constantly misunderstood and misinterpreted. I felt there is is a disconnect between generalise assumptions of autistic people and realities how specific individuals lift their lives circumstances and life challenges especially those who are articulate and independent and difficulties like mine. this is lead to developing a family of awareness projects that bridges that gap (see below for details.)

Autism & Neurodiversity awareness projects
For over 20 years I have developed a family of awareness projects and activities which enables greater understanding not only for those living with the autistic spectrum but also individuals living with similar neurological difficulties ADHD, Dyspraxia and Dyslexia which has expanded to those with social anxiety. This was presented into various ways and formats including visual art survey report findings, exhibition display and PowerPoint presentations. up to 2015 my awareness projects have reached and being involved with various organisations including autism West Midlands a variety of regional awareness and support organisations across parts of the UK, University of Birmingham, Bridge Mentoring and many more.
