In conversation about autism
In the latest episode of the MacIntyre Podcast, we welcome Jess Sutton, MacIntyre's Autism Self-Advocacy Lead, and Sonya Cox, one of our Best Practice Facilitators
Listen to discover the resources we have developed for autistic people, including MacIntyre's online autism events, which are open to everyone and provide support.
Personal journeys
Jess tells us about her personal journey, which included an early diagnosis of autism and how that has helped. Jess's openness about her own life and experiences is helping autistic people we support at MacIntyre, whether that's at our School, or across the organisation.
Resources and support
Sonya describes the new resources we're developing training and social stories which will support autistic people, families and staff.
Autism and personal relationships
We also hear about what MacIntyre is doing to support autistic people in personal relationships, and the links between neurodivergence and the LGBTQIA+ community, reflecting on personal experiences.
Autism Spotlight
The podcast is timely, as the Autism Special Interest Group is hosting a free online Spotlight session on 26 February, where you will hear from Jess and others, and from special guest Chris Bonnello, author and autism advocate. Find out more here.
