Why I Spent 17 Years Masking My Neurodivergence

Delighted to welcome my guest for my Neurodiversity Stories Guest : Catrina Lowri Topic of talk - Why I Spent 17 Years Masking My Neurodivergence Catrina founded Neuroteachers to help educational settings work with their autistic and neurodivergent learners to find simple solutions for inclusive practice. Catrina is neurodivergent herself, having the dual diagnosis of dyslexia and bipolar disorder. She is a qualified special needs teacher and an experienced SENCO and advisory teacher. Catrina’s particular area of research is around exclusion prevention. She has written two papers for the Good Autism Practice Journal. The first in 2018 was a case study about preventing exclusion for an autistic, ADHD boy with extreme demand avoidance. The second, publish in 2020 looked at reintegrating autistic children into school after a period of persistent absence. Catrina believes passionately in true inclusion for all.
