Autism Centre

The Autism Centre was founded in 2017.

We work with many students who have an interest in autism. Our founder, who completed the MAPP Programme at Bucks New University  – is currently undertaking a PhD at Sheffield Hallam University Autism Centre – studying courage through an autistic lens. He is also a member of the Doncaster Autism Partnership Board, a consultant for the National Autistic Society, and Honorary Senior Lecturer at Manchester University within the field of autism.
