Updated bit about me: I have a MSc in Special and Inclusive Education from Bristol Uni and worked in a variety of roles in inclusive education and disability empowerment during that time. After completing a PGCE I became a Lead Practitioner in Autism at an FE College.

Got a blog post up on the @HEPI_news blog this morning, about cultivating controversy with civility in HE through training. This training is great fun to deliver! https://t.co/9ApElvYARZ

Did anyone else take ADHD meds after diagnosis for the first time and feel a bit... High? Really concerned this means I've been misdiagnosed. I am sensitive to medication though.

I mostly tweet over on my personal account, @Puzzledbyadream these days, so do feel free to follow me there, but I will try to remember to come over and update this one a bit more regularly.

My research interest has shifted a bit, still primarily interested in autistic people in education, but I'm now interested in how we can use Freire to co-develop self-advocacy skills for autistic students, as well as the formation of autistic communities.

Appreciate I've been AWOL from this account for quite a while. A lot has happened! I've settled into my role as Student EDI training officer at a university, which is going amazingly. I applied for PhD programs in the US and got rejected from all of them. I'm trying again.
