Catherine speaks to Lauren Fernandez a trainer, speaker, advocate, content developer and Founder & Director of Mask Off CIC and a fellow trainer on the NHS National Autism Trainer Programme.
Through her work with ‘Mask Off’ she educates minds, challenges attitudes and promotes equality through the 'Invisible' Black autistic Female's perspective.
Lauren was diagnosed autistic at aged 26. She is also a mum and will be speaking at The Autism Show in London this month sharing her insights into maternity and autism, and the needs of autistic people, especially those who face extra identity challenges.
In this episode Lauren speaks openly of her experiences as a black, late discovered autistic woman and the many challenges she has encountered not just as a mother, but throughout school and as an adult, and of her experiences of being sectioned and an inpatient in NHS adult mental health services.
