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.

The Autism Centre runs a Neurodiversity Inclusivity Confident Award. The Award’s lead objective is to help make workplaces more inclusive for people with neurodivergent profiles that are often “hidden” or masked, such as autism, ADHD, dyspraxia and dyslexia, and not taken into consideration when developing workplace cultures and norms. The Award was established by the Positive Psychology Guild as part of its not-for-profit work and is free to employers.

The Award is open to applications throughout the year. If you or your organisation is interested in learning more, please contact: training@ppnetwork.org 

The Centre also runs the following professional qualifications:
