Collaborative Change Event
Date: April 22
Location: University of Edinburgh
Funded by the ESRC Impact Acceleration, Emy and Fiona ran a series of knowledge exchange events in collaboration with SupportED and Autism Initiatives. The final event focused on collaborative change, bringing together Autistic people with lived/living experience of an ED, researchers, clinicians, parents, carers, charities, and organisations. At this in-person event in Edinburgh, attendees shared their experiences and discussed how to better support Autistic people with ED’s. Guest speakers from the National Autism Implementation Team (NAIT) lead this discussion, sharing their insights into how to develop autism affirming practice. Finally, priorities for continuing this collaborative change were shared.
As part of this grant, we received funding to reimburse an Autistic person with an ED to write a blog post (see here), as well as to narrate a short animation video, which you can watch below!
