Centre for Research in Autism and Education
As founder of Autistic Doctors International, Mary has brought together a community of autistic medical professionals active in research and education, with the goal of improving healthcare for autistic people.
Drawing on this achievement, and her experience as an Autism Representative in the AIMS-2-Trials autism research consortium, Mary will discuss weaponised heterogeneity, epistemic injustice and the unique perspectives and contributions of autistic professionals.
This online event will be particularly useful for medics and teachers.
