Join
us at Bridgeton Library to mark World Autism Acceptance Month with writer Amy
Baker and SWAN (Scottish Women’s Autism Network).
Amy
Baker will discuss her memoir Patient A, which explores her late
diagnosis of autism and ADHD. The book is a personal account of misdiagnosis
and self-understanding, written to help others feel less alone and to remind
readers that they are more than a label.
During
the event, Amy will be in conversation with SWAN and will also invite questions
from the audience.
SWAN is a national organsation run by and for autistic women, girls
and non-binary people. They host free, in-person social meet-up groups across
Scotland, including at Bridgeton
Library and the Mitchell
Library. These autistic-led spaces are relaxed and
welcoming, and are facilitated by autistic volunteers.
SWAN
will be in the library alongside Amy Baker on the day, offering free information
and support.
