Guerilla Aspies Podcast 16 Autistic Self Advocate and Mother of three daughters Carly Jones MBE - Autism Aspergers Syndrome Neurodiversity NeuroDivergency

Carly Jones MBE is a single mother of three daughters, the eldest of which is 23. A fact that she reckons entitles her to a sainthood, never mind being made a Member of the British Empire for services to autistic people (well at least the British Crown recognises us as such).

Carly's story found her alone against all the odds raising three children, and later in life finding out through them that she was autistic. She has gone on to support many autistic people as a mentor and...wait for it... is a Keynote speaker, a presenter, an author, a UK Policy Safeguarding professional and...yet there is more...is on numerous advisory boards like the National Autistic Society, The Barbican London, Autistica Insights, NHS England Immunisation Board, Heathrow Airport, Motability Consumer Group, East Midlands Rail and as if that aint enough she finds time to. (take a breath now) be an Independent Member of the Ministry of Justice (that sounds very Judge Dredd doesnt it?) Our Majesty the Queens Community and Voluntary Honours Committee UK, Royal Society of Arts fellow, Co chair of the Executive Steering group with National Autistic Society and Royal Menace for the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training of all U.K. NHS Health and Social Care Staff.

Not finished yet. She was voted one of the top 100 U.K. female entrepreneurs as well. No really.

She's been on the BBC and independently reviews scholastic articles for Springer publications.

If that's not informed you, try her twitter - CarlyJonesMBE and if you STILL need more, I think it's best you email her on Carly on [email protected].

Thank you.
