How my autism diagnosis could help how you feel about Brexit.

• October 2019
Justine is an award-winning writer, creative producer, brand consultant and social entrepreneur, with 26 years experience in the creative industries.
Three years ago, Justine received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (Aspergers). She is now enjoying harnessing her creativity to take us beyond our traditional expectations of autism, to challenge stereotypes and raise awareness of female neuro-diversity and its benefits.
Justine takes us on her journey of how getting curious about her ‘broken bits’, led to an autism diagnosis in later life, and how this helped create a gap for self-compassion and reconciliation.
She then challenges us to go beyond our expectation that simply being curious about ourselves is enough. She passionately believes that if we are to heal the wounds of Brexit and divisive politics, we need to get curious about each other’s vulnerabilities, and she suggests how our recently shattered world is a unique opportunity to put it back together...with powdered gold.
