Areas of interest

My research focuses on the lived experience of autistic children in mainstream primary schools. My work is rooted in the neurodiversity paradigm and I use various qualitative and arts-based methods to involve autistic children with a range of abilities and communication preferences in research. I am particularly interested in autistic thriving and am currently setting up a Wellbeing Hub with the Centre for Autism with the aim of supporting autistic children and their families to explore what thriving means to them.
