We were very grateful to have Pierre Novellie join us for the Axia Post-Diagnostic Support Group meeting on 6th March. Pierre is an award winning stand-up comedian, as well as a writer, radio host and podcaster. He discussed his own journey to an autism diagnosis, and his upcoming book on autism.
Pierre’s book has been described as an autism memoir by the British Comedy Guide, titled ‘Why Can’t I Just Enjoy Things?’, which should be published on 18th July.
During the second half, Dr Buchan referred to one of our recent posts titled “Adapting mental health assessment tools for autistic adults” research by Sarah Cassidy from the University of Nottingham, and the link for those interested in participating can be found here.
Shona Pearce from Sheffield University was also introduced after the break, describing the research she was conducting. You can find a detailed information sheet titled “The Autistic label- a help or hinderance?” here and a link to a google form here
For those of you who couldn’t attend the PDSG, the presentation was recorded and is available to view bellow.
