Promoting understanding and appreciation of neurodiversity
Hi! My name is Laura and I am the author of this website. I am from the UK but I am currently living and working in Grand Cayman. I started my career as a science teacher in 2003 and began specializing in autism education in 2008. I am also a trained Gestalt counselor and keen amateur photographer!

I am really keen to get feedback on my writing so please do comment on my blogs if you have any feedback or questions. If you prefer you can email me at autismbug0@gmail.com.
