“I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year celebration.
Aston and I started 2025 talking ‘All things Autism’ with three amazing guests.
Our guests for January were Rachael Malthouse. She is a physiotherapist and current PHD student at the University of Plymouth exploring how people who live in supported housing using technology in their everyday lives. Rachael’s experience as a parent to her autistic son motivated her to create an app to help her son and other families to better manage daily tasks like getting dressed and brushing their teeth.
