💻Live Q&A - Autistic Parenting & Mental Health Services
Laura Richmond will be joining Tanya Adkin live on our public Facebook page for a Q&A session on the topic of Autistic Parenting & Mental Health Services. This may include access and use of mental health services for ourselves as Autistic adults, as well as our Autistic children.
🗓️Tuesday 10th February at 7pm.
Laura Richmond is an autistic researcher, campaigner, and consultant who works to improve mental health care, especially for parents and families. She was admitted to a psychiatric mother and baby unit after the traumatic birth of her son. After completing her Ph.D. in medieval history, she switched careers to use her own lived experiences of complex trauma and autism in partnership with charities, universities, and the NHS. Her memoir, All My Worldly Joy, was published in January 2026 and is available wherever books are sold. She lives in Southampton with her son and two cats.
