The Autistic Postgraduate Woman: Navigating the Neurotypical University uncovers the experiences that autistic postgraduate students - particularly autistic women - face within the academic landscape.
The book offers important insights for educators, policymakers, advocates, and anyone looking to foster a more accessible and inclusive educational system, challenging the misconceptions about neurodivergent experiences.
Dr Sophie Phillips works on anti-abelist research as part of the WAARC: Anti-Ableist Research Culture project, with a specific focus on access to higher education for autistic women and more broadly neurodivergent individuals, following her own diagnosis as a young adult.
