Unmasking Autism: Embracing Neurodiversity with Carly Steel

Educational consultant Carly Steel is back, bringing her wealth of experience and expertise! She is the author of Consulting Autistic Young People on Their Personal Happiness, published in the Good Autism Practice journal. Carly began her career as a teacher at a specialist college, where she supported autistic young people, and later completed a master’s degree in autism. She then went on to coordinate alternative provisions for a major charity across the East Midlands and London.

Carly’s true passion was discovered in her role as Director and Head of Education at an outdoor alternative provision, where she was able to make a direct impact on the lives of autistic individuals. As an autistic individual herself, Carly brings a unique, firsthand perspective to her work, offering invaluable insights into understanding and supporting the autistic experience.

Note to listeners: Tahnee would like to clarify that it wasn’t until after her conversation with Carly that she realised the autistic community prefers the term "autistic people" rather than "individuals with autism." We are all continuously learning and growing in our understanding.
