I am constantly working on stuff related to autism – it goes from services, education, health, housing, impact of failure to deliver or access. However, my biggest interest is the impact of false allegations of FII – Fabricated and Induced Illness on autistic women, and misdiagnosed women and girls. I have naturally been and still am a researcher in my art work. The two come together nicely as a naturally curious person, and someone keen to expose the real truths of people’s lives, and identities as autistic individuals. I use what ever knowledge i can get and want to portray this in whatever means is the most beneficial to the audience at the time. Now, my two passions are so connected that i cannot try to put a wedge between them. My health research and art are combined and i am committed to progressing this. I am considering options for a PhD, and if anyone would like to support the development of that work, please do get in touch with me for a chat.
