I would love to see more autistic people employed, supported and understood in their roles. Not just for autistic people to be employed as a number and that's that. I want to see that they're thriving and enjoying themselves as well.

I think a lot of the time, neurodivergent people need to seek and find more accessible spaces - when in reality, they should always be there.

That's why we need research. We need other people to understand and listen to autistic people so that our needs can be met. We deserve a world where we feel championed and supported as individuals so we can grow and flourish.
