What is it like to navigate university as an autistic student? In this episode of Unscripted, we talk with PhD student Ali Hutchin on the experiences, challenges, and successes of autistic students in higher education. We discuss the barriers they face, the support systems that make a difference, and how universities can foster a more inclusive learning environment. Through personal stories and expert insights, we highlight the importance of understanding neurodiversity in academia and what can be done to create a more accessible and empowering university experience.
