I’m Carly, author of “Consulting Autistic Young People on Their Personal Happiness” published in the Good Autism Practice journal. My career began as a teacher in a specialist college, supporting autistic young people. I went on to complete a master’s degree in autism and coordinated alternative provisions for a large charity across the East Midlands and London. As Director and Head of Education for an outdoor alternative provision, I found my true passion—working closely with parents, children, young people, and staff. As an autistic individual myself, I bring a unique, firsthand perspective to understanding and supporting the autistic experience.
