To kick off 2024 I want to share some incredibly exciting news. I have been invited to give a keynote presentation at the SIKON conference in DENMARK. The theme of the conference is ‘Autism and Communication’ and so I will be presenting my Autistic Language Hypothesis. (1)

It was an honour to give the Keynote presentation on my Autistic Language Hypothesis to an international audience at the SIKON conference. I received such a warm Danish welcome. The organisers were fantastic and really accommodating. Best conference so far…

First day of SIKON conference and I’ve been trying out weighted vests and bean bags. It’s very accessible with lots of quiet/sensory spaces for Autistic people to use. I’m having SO MUCH FUN! We went sightseeing this afternoon, visiting Hans Christian Andersen’s birth place👍🇩🇰
