Daisy joined the Autistica team in August 2023. She is passionate about neurodivergence, mental health, and meaningful lived experience involvement in research.
Daisy’s previous experience includes digital communications at Change Grow Live, the UK's leading drug and alcohol recovery charity; The McPin Foundation, where she delivered the UKRI-funded Mental Health Research Matters campaign; and MQ Mental Health Research, where she fell in love with the transformative power of research. Before switching to communications, she worked in fundraising for the helpline charity Missing People.
As a 'neurospicy' of the ADHD persuasion, Daisy is fascinated by the entangled relationship between ADHD and autism. She will take any opportunity to infodump about neurodivergence, so getting paid to write about the latest research in autism and help autistic people share their stories is a dream job!
