Autistica Discover Conference 2019
On 27th June, SEDAF members Janina, Charli, Will and Catherine attended Autistica's second Discover conference at Reading University. The conference covered a wide range of topics, from autism as identity to gender and sexuality; from sensory processing to mental health and suicide.
SEDAF's Catherine Jones chaired the "Sensory Processing" stream in the morning alongside Damian Milton. In the afternoon, Will Mandy chaired the "Sleeping, Eating and Movement" stream with Fiona Ferris. Charli Babb and Janina Brede presented SEDAF research in a 15 minute presentation, focusing on some preliminary findings about the eating disorder service experiences of autistic women, from the perspectives of autistic women themselves, parents and healthcare professionals.
The presentation was well-received and Janina and Charli were asked some great questions from audience members - predominantly from clinicians. If you are interested in hearing the presentation, the whole conference was live-streamed by Autistica and is now available online via this link: https://www.autistica.org.uk/get-involved/research-conference/discover-conference-livestream - our talk is in Session 6 and starts at about 6 minutes in.
