| Résumé : |
In this paper, the author charts her journey through autism over the last 20 years. This began by meeting her neighbour's autistic child and later raising funds for a respite centre. In this context she contacted Dame Stephanie Shirley who had employed Hilary in her IT company in the past and who had become a major founder and benefactor of autism charities. In 2006, Hilary became Chief Executive of the National Alliance for Autism Research UK, set up by Dame Stephanie to raise funds for autism research, and in this role worked with many researchers and academics. Latterly, she worked with other autism organisations and autistic people on the co-production of reports and research. Hilary writes about the changes she has seen during her time working in the field of autism and the challenges that remain. The Editor would welcome personal accounts from others who have worked in the field of autism for several years to give their perspective. |
