As part of an ESRC-funded project, I worked closely with the fantastic Figment Arts for around 12 months with a group of autistic artists to develop and produce some creative responses to my doctoral research into autistic communication and loneliness.
We launched the films in Blackpool at the International Resilience Conference and at a special event in Brighton at the Rose Hill.
“The project was great. It was really good to collaborate on an art project using research from someone that knows so much about autism. I found that I learned a lot about autism which was useful as autistic people aren’t always educated about their condition – they are just diagnosed with it if they are lucky. Misconceptions about autistic people are often that their social skills are crap, that they have no empathy, and are rude. This can be the case – but if they are rude that’s not always because of their autism.”
