Between working and PhD-ing I have teamed up with Autism Aware UK to take part in two events:</span></p>

This is not about my efforts; it is about supporting the amazing work that the National Autistic Society does. They need our support to invest in research to unravel the mystery about Autism but most importantly to support children as well as their families to overcome their barriers and live a fulfilling life. </span></p>
