Alice is a neuroaffirming autism specialist through both acquired experience and academic study. 

Alice is a softly spoken advocate with an ability to broker complex miscommunication between parent-carers and service providers, particularly where there may be misunderstandings or differences of opinions relating to autistic ways of being and appropriate support.

Alice holds specific expertise around the use of 'parent-carer blame' within autism provision services and how that impacts autistic children and young people and their families.

With an academic background in sociology and autism theory, Alice is also trained in counselling, domestic abuse, safeguarding and victim support.

Alice has previously held roles within Women's Aid and as a designated Disability Officer. She holds a clear DBS certificate.
