Recenzijas

'Tenacity, Resilience, Determination. Just 3 of many recurring, inspirational tones echoing across the journeys of Autistics in Academia. A unique opportunity for insight into the personal and shared experiences of Autistic academics, exposing the deepest intricacies of challenges in navigating academia, contextualised through a series of incredible lived experiences.' Danny Clegg, Associate Professor and Digital Lead for the Institute of Health and Social Care, London South Bank University 'A resource, a guide, a love letter. This is the most important piece on Autistics in the world of academia. By building trusting relationships, Sandra Thom-Jones was able to bring together diverse Autistic scholars willing to reveal their honest and sometimes intense experiences inside the academic world. Essential reading for all!' TC Waisman, co-founder of the Autistic Researchers Committee at the International Society for Autism Research and co-founder of Adapt Coaching & Training
