• I first learned about neurodiversity when one of my children was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. In researching the topic, I discovered there was a lack of strengths-based, family-focused research on autism spectrum conditions and I decided to pursue my PhD. My thesis topic evolved into its final form over the course of four years, ultimately becoming “The Contribution of Asperger traits and Structures of the Imaginary to Family Resilience: A family-focused study using the AT.9 in a neurodiverse context”.
