Untangling autism, chronic illness & physical health
Autism and chronic illness impact each other in lots of different ways: sensory needs, healthcare, in education or work, and more. However, this isn't discussed very often or understood by many professionals.
In this webinar, Charli discusses some of the ways physical health & chronic illness can impact life as an autistic person (and vice versa!) including some support strategies you can take forward in your own life.
Charli Clement (they/she) is an activist, writer, speaker and lived experience expert, who discusses disability, neurodiversity, queerness and how these topics combine. As a proud autistic, ADHD, dyspraxic & chronically ill person, they deliver training and talks as well as creating content. They also have bylines in outlets including the Metro, Independent, Digital Spy, and the Unwritten.
Alongside this, Charli works in the NHS & third sector organisations on improving psychiatric care and human rights for autistic people.
Their first book, All Tangled Up in Autism & Chronic Illness, a guide to life as an autistic and chronically ill person, was published in December 2023.
