Podcasts, interviews and online articles
Open confession: I love to talk about autism and about science!
I am passionate about science communication - about sharing exciting ideas, busting autism myths and promoting acceptance, and getting my research heard where it might make a difference. On this page, you will find podcasts and webinars I have participated in, and interviews and online articles about my research.
​
This page only contains media which has an online footprint. However, I regularly give talks to local communities as well as people further afield - if you are interested in a podcast interview, an article interview or talk, please contact me through the details on my contact page.
