As a public health nurse, Laura has years of experience in looking to support communities of people. Through that experience, Laura has developed and created a range of events and support activities. These events have been centered around education, mutual support or leisure like movies, music and art. Laura learned that there are key principles in creating inclusive spaces to ensure that communities of people, like neurodivergent and disabled, feel truly welcomed into those groups. These ideas are shared in their co-authored book ‘Creating Safe Spaces for Autistic People’
