About this Event

After being diagnosed as autistic at the age of 34 in 2017, Pete has immersed myself in working to improve autistic awareness, acceptance and making the world a more suitable place for the neurodivergent community. Pete has spoken at a wide range of events and conferences since 2020 in the UK and in Europe and North America, both in person and remotely, sharing his insight and experience of being autistic and ADHD with businesses, governments, educational establishments and more.

Pete is active on LinkedIn, Instagram and on YouTube, where his channel is at over 3000 subscribers. He is a bestselling author: his first book, What I Want to Talk About, was published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in September 2022, and his second book, Untypical, was published by HarperCollins in March 2023, with the paperback released in March 2024. He has also written a number of articles, interviews and book chapters, and appeared on BBC Radio 2. He is a former secondary English teacher and a father-of-one.
