Supporting the Mental Health of Autistic Students
Around 2% of students are autistic, and the group is growing as more young people with a diagnosis enter higher education. However, because of the history of conflating autism with learning disability, many universities have only recently recognised that they have autistic students and many systems do not support autistic students well.
NDinHE Conference
To celebrate the achievements of the project, and to share our findings with interested people, we organised the Neurodiversity in Higher Education conference on 15th September 2023 in Bristol.
