Content: Part 1: University life and support for autistic students and students with mental health needs (mentoring and academic support) Part 2: Exploring autism or mental well-being related issues with or without your mentor Part 3: Being Independent
Dr Susy Ridout, Mentor, Academic Skills Support Worker and Researcher Susy has worked as a mentor and academic skills support worker with autistic and disabled people in higher education for a decade. Seeing mentoring as an opportunity to explore issues relating to both disclosure and well-being within a number of settings, including higher education and employment scenarios, Susy was also a mentor for the Cygnet Mentoring Project (a research pilot designed and delivered by autistic/neurodivergent individuals for autistic individuals). Having also benefited from mentoring, she uses it as an approach to examine barriers to learning, develop effective coping strategies, investigate what constitutes enabling learning environments and explore terminology used to voice these. Completion of her doctorate (University of Birmingham, 2016), highlighted the use of mixed media as a means to locate the autistic voice to the fore in research, services and debate. Susy has taken this forward to extend her research as a member of PARC (the Participatory Autism Research Collective), where she is an Independent Researcher. Susy continues to mentor throughout the UK and apply her research to a range of issues including neurodivergence and sexual violence.
