Autistic speech and language therapist Emily Price (She/Her) discusses her profession as a speech and language therapist, the communicative differences of neurodivergent people and what use does speech and language therapy have for neurodivergent people. She also discussed her autism diagnoses that came after she qualified as a speech and language experience and talks of her own diagnoses. Emily speaks clear of her privilege and position in her field never having been referred to such therapies herself after late discovery of being neurodivergent whilst she provides training and indirect support and advocacy work for those who work with neurodivergent people and provides supervision and training for those in her field. She highlights whilst she receives requests of autistic parents and guardians and support her work is focused and working with autistic/neurodivergent adults and providing indirect support and not specialising on the therapies tailored to younger service users under the age of 10.
