“One thing that’s really struck me is just how connected I felt (or feel) with the other participants – especially the other auties, but also the non-autistics (it’s why I hope we can find other ways to continue to conversation and stay connected in future). What a wonderful group of people. I can’t really adequately […]

At the start of the session we were given some loose and inclusive guidelines in order […]
Attending Autism Dialogue for the first time was a wonderful experience and I would enthusiastically recommend it to other autistic adults who would like to have an open and compassionate discussion about autism, their own experiences and lives, and the ways that autism can be approached, shared, and even celebrated through this style of group […]
I’d like to thank you and Liz for putting on the event – it was much better than I expected, and I’d be keen to see/attend more such things happening. I didn’t know quite what to expect from my first Bohm dialogue, but it was impressed by the process and the results. I thought I […]

“There is a long way to go before we are seen as a minority like ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities. Your Dialogue events will get us there a little more quickly.” Nick Chown (author).
It was very interesting indeed! Such a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, knowledge and expertise! I am looking forward to any upcoming events! I would love to get involved! – A PhD student.
