- Highlighting the impact of living undiagnosed Autistic for 45 years.
- Understanding there is a huge hidden amount of Autistic people, and how Ableism is preventing them being found.
- Where we can find the undiagnosed/unidentified Autistics, and the overlap with illness, disability, and other coping mechanisms.
- Why many of us are hidden and the links between the hidden group and high achievement/exceptional success.
- The blind spot in research because of the hidden (unfound) Autistics, and the impact of this on what we know about Autism.
- Recognising the essential reasons to find us: suicide prevention, child protection, identity, and better understanding of Autism.
- Conditions for self-identification and why self-identification is key in (the first instance) in a system which has proved itself unable to find us.
- Understanding whether Autism is a disease, disorder, difference, disability.
- My life’s mission considering the above…Helping others join the dots that would not otherwise be joined!
