Ros Blackburn

Ros Blackburn is an autistic adult who lives in the UK. She talks both publicly and to individuals about living with autism, giving insight into her own experiences and the care and education practices she has observed. Ros was diagnosed as being severely autistic at just over a year old. Now in her 50s, Ros tends to feel that while many areas of her autism have remained very severe, others, such as her severe language delay, have disappeared almost completely.
In her talks, Ros gives an invaluable insight into her world of autism. She uses humour and gives graphic examples of her experiences. Ros talks about all aspects of living and working with autism. She describes the fun she has as well as the ways autism continues to restrict her life and the constant support she needs to have.
Ros now travels and speaks internationally on the topic - Logically Illogical
