On today's show I talk about a campaign that The National Autistic Society, alongside the teams of world-renowned photographer Rankin and creative agency Ogilvy Health, has launched. It's a campaign to amplify the voices of autistic women and non-binary people, and improve understanding of autism and late diagnosis.
The Now I Know campaign features powerful photography of six autistic women and non-binary people from across the country, who were photographed by Alex Heron, an autistic photographer from Rankin’s team, and shared their experiences of late diagnosis of autism. Due to gender stereotypes and lack of understanding, autistic women and non-binary people can often be overlooked and live without a diagnosis late into life, which can have severe negative impacts on mental and physical wellbeing.
On this episode I have special guest Lex Lancaster. Lex is 35 years old and from Salisbury and was one of the six autistic people photographed as part of the campaign. I am super excited to talk to them to find out more about how they got involved with the campaign as well as more about their life too!
