Description
An accessible, in-depth guide for those supporting autistic and neurodivergent women in their unique journeys towards recovery from sexual violence. The book provides a wealth of guidance and practical activities to assist in the exploration of issues to do with identity, safety, well-being, and the many effects of sexual violence.
Dr Susy Ridout is an author, mentor, associate lecturer and independent researcher working in the field of autism, neurodiversity and sexual violence. As a neurodivergent victim-survivor of sexual violence, she has combined this insider experience with the knowledge and skills she has developed over a decade of mentoring in HE institutions to produce the material presented in this book. Her doctoral study at University of Birmingham (2016) focused on ways to bring the autistic voice to the fore in research, services and resources impacting on them, and Susy has turned this to her advantage to make sense of her experience of rape. This has resulted in presentations at conferences in the UK (University of Birmingham, 2018) and abroad (Mexico, 2019), where she has voiced her experiences so that practitioners and all those working to support victim-survivors are clear as to our agenda and the dangers of imposing their own. Susy continues authoring and mentoring and has added to this work portfolio that of Associate Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University (neurodiversity) and bespoke training around the country. These are informed by her main fields of interest, which are neurodivergence, disability, intersectionality and sexual violence.
