How to be you: say goodbye to should, would and could so that you can
Ellie Middleton
As an autistic and ADHD creator, writer and consultation, Ellie will share her personal journey over the past decade. How, just ten years ago she was at her lowest point, struggling with being undiagnosed while in sixth form. Despite being the top student in her school for Maths, teachers convinced Ellie not to apply to Oxford due to the immense stress it would have caused her. Instead, she applied to other universities but ultimately had to decline their offers because of her deteriorating mental health.
Ellie will talk about how society often disables individuals rather than the disability itself. By sharing her experiences, she aims to highlight the importance of supporting the neurodiverse community so they can reach their full potential.
