We also gave our attendees a VR experience, which showed potential sensory differences in autistic people. Finally had a networking session and feedback session on potential barriers that some autistic individuals may face when accessing health care.

We discussed a student-run, neurodivergent student support Microsoft Teams space for all University of Liverpool students who are formally or informally neurodivergent.

Additionally, we welcomed Alice and Gina, from Healthwatch Liverpool, who discussed the Liverpool Neurodiversity Strategy!

We also discussed upcoming research: Exploring Autistic Perspectives Through Photography Within a Photovoice Study by Dr Melissa Chapple and Dr Idalmis Santestiban livpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
