Christine. A. Jenkins joins Catherine in this episode to talk about her autistic self-discovery in 2008 and life since her eventual diagnosis in 2009.
Christine has been an Autistic advocate for many years, most recently around issues related to late-in-life diagnosis, gender bias, and autistic ageing.
She contributed a chapter to the anthology Spectrum Women: Walking to the Beat of Autism (2018), and has presented solo and on panels in Canada and the UK.
Christine has been a peer reviewer and now co-author for the journal Autism in Adulthood, and edits other books and articles as a consultant. Her aim is to "include Autistic voices at every stage in true co-production of research.”
As an independent Autistic researcher Christine has her own business, Christine Jenkins AUsome Consulting.
