Today marks 4 years since my Autism diagnosis. From the Zoom link being sent late to the format changing during the assessment it wasn't very accessible. My diagnosis has made my life make sense and being autistic is something I am extremely proud of.

It was really lovely to finally meet Emily in person at #Museums2024! Speaking to (and with) so many people about neurodivergence within museums (both visitors and the workforce) was a really wonderful highlight from this year's conference. I can't wait to continue the convos!

Seeing so many attend the workshop on Neurodivergent Joy led by @aimee_speaks and @NeuroMuseum was definitely my most joyful moment and conference highlight knowing that so many are wanting to make museums accessible for neurodivergent people. (3/6)

So many reflections from the first day of #Museums2024 after thought provoking sessions and workshops. Lovely to catch up with so many yesterday and enjoyed the @gem_heritage networking lunch. Please do come say hello today!


Autistic children become autistic adults but we are often forgotten about in access information. Even if your main audience is families you need to make sure the access information is appropriate for everyone.

All the time!!

To other autistic people, do you ever get told you're speaking too loudly when that wasn't your intention?



In typical me style I missed the first day of #Museum30! So will start today by introducing myself. I'm a freelance access consultant delivering from the lived experience perspective. I've worked in museums in various roles including museum education for ten years.


This week has been a rollercoaster! I'm extremely glad it is nearly the weekend. Tilly clearly agrees with how tiring this week has been! #CatsofTwitter

Thanks to @MindCharity for letting me write a blog for them around our reasonable adjustments resource for ADHD month! Mindful Employer Leeds: workplace toolkit for Autism, ADHD and AuDHD leedsmind.org.uk/adhd-awareness…


Had a positive meeting this morning about a talk I am delivering in a couple of weeks! I'm always grateful when I meet with those I'm working with and they ask me what they can do to support me. Just doing this reduces my anxiety a lot.
