As a lecturer and personal tutor, I am interested – as we all should be – in making university as accessible and enjoyable as possible for neurodivergent students.
I work particularly closely with autistic students.
I should probably admit, at this point, that I have a horse in this proverbial race. Two horses, in fact. Not only am I autistic myself, but I was diagnosed late – specifically, on the day before I graduated from my undergraduate degree.
So, my own student experience was shaped by autism, even if I didn’t know it at the time.
