A huge part of the challenge of neurodiversity is learning how you learn, typically a trial-and-error process. My assigned study support tutor helped me as I tried a number of different strategies. By taking different elements from each one I eventually developed the best method for me.

During my MSc I worked as a Disability Support Mentor for the University. I mentored students with a variety of educational needs and disabilities, including those on the autistic spectrum and gained a much broader understanding of neurodiversity in terms of how people perceive the world around them differently. Making a positive contribution to a cause I really care about was incredibly fulfilling. Doing this alongside my Masters is my proudest achievement from University.
