Fiona Gullon-Scott has been researching and working clinically with Asperger syndrome and autism for over 25 years, initially undertaking a PhD with Prof Simon Baron-Cohen, then later working at the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge for over a decade. She recently relocating to the North East where she is a Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at Newcastle University, but also acts as an Honorary Senior Lecturer for the Tizard Centre, University of Kent, teaching into their autism undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Clinically she works right across the age-range, but has developed a particular specialism for assessing women and girls, and now receives referrals from across the country and even internationally. Her current passion is in helping to fight for the autistic voice, to challenge stereotypes and implicit and explicit biases, particularly relating to negative experiences with professionals or Local Authorities that can result from poor understanding of Asperger Syndrome and autism. Her interest in working with Asperger East Anglia started around 15 years ago when she first became a Patron, and it is wonderful to return actively to this role and to be able to support such a fantastic, proactive and inclusive charity.
