An image promoting this week’s podcast. It has the 21andsensory logo, which is a simple black-and-white illustration of the top of a head and pair of arms holding a sign with ’21 AND SENSORY’ on it. At the top of the image is a banner with the HE Enabled logo and ‘New Episode Alert!’. Another banner along the bottom of the image shows the episode title: ‘Discovering Your Dyslexia Through Your University, Immersing Yourself in a Passion, and Bringing Lived Experience to Research: Emily’s Story (21andsensory collab!)’.
‘All I’ve ever wanted to do is attempt to help even one person’
A new episode of HE Enabled is out! This time it's a collab with @21andsensory.bsky.social.

Examples of Echolalia drawn by me (featuring both external and internal types)
Echolalia can look like:
- Externally repeating comforting words ☺️

Important reminder 📣
You can celebrate #NewYearsEve in whatever way works for you…
Last Friday I was invited to a roundtable discussion on Autistic Autonomy. It took place to make sense of what was learnt in a recent project between Autistica and @ucl.ac.uk (which I illustrated and worked on with the lovely Jenna @autistica.org.uk)
I #livescribed the discussion below!✏️
Both @kerenmaclennan.bsky.social and I are excited to be working together again, this time on the autistic sensory joy study. Please take part!✨
In the study, we want to understand how Autistic people describe and experience sensory joy.
