Autism Seminar 2025

We are delighted to welcome two autistic speakers:

Dr Rachel Moseley

Mental health in autistic people: Perspectives from science and lived experience

Dr Rachel Moseley completed her PhD in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, UK, and is now Principle Academic in Psychology at Bournemouth University. Her early work focused on brain structure and function in autistic people, but her research now centres on mental health and wellbeing in autistic adults, particularly around suicide and self-injury. Dr Moseley and colleagues conducted the seminal work on menopause in autistic adults, highlighting it as a potential crisis point, and continue to advance knowledge in this limited field. Dr Moseley is herself autistic, diagnosed in adulthood.

Nat Hawley

Thriving as an Autistic Adult: Strengths, Strategies and Self-Advocacy

Nathaniel “Nat” Hawley is a neurodiversity champion and public speaker dedicated to empowering individuals with autism and learning differences. A Pride of Britain award nominee featured on 30 Under 30 lists, he has also been commended by HRH King Charles III for heroism, international fundraising, and his advocacy of disability rights. Drawing on his lived experience and a Master’s in Applied Neuroscience, Nat leads community initiatives at Exceptional Individuals, helping organisations worldwide embrace inclusive practices. His engaging talks and workshops have inspired diverse audiences to recognise the power and potential of neurodiversity in every sphere of life.
