Experts with Lived Experience Lead Trainer Bio: James

Hello, my name is James. I am an autistic co-trainer for the Oliver McGowan Project. That means I have lived experience as I am autistic.

I wanted to get involved in the Project to teach people about how they can support autistic people, especially after a bad experience myself.

I prefer for people to give me clear information and I might sometimes need questions repeating or re-phrasing. If you have a strong accent, this might make it difficult for me to understand too. I don't like sudden noises and can find it hard to regulate my body temperature so might need some time out of the training room.
