Dear Adrian,
Thanks for this. Can you pass on the name of the organisation and I'll ensure we contact them. We are only able to have four main speakers at the conference but plan to run several workshop sessions during the day and delegates will be able to prioritise which they attend. At this stage we are asking for ideas from people to run workshops and are keen to include as wide a range of experience as possible.
Best wishes
Phil

Subject: Re: Critical perspectives on user involvement conference
Dear Phil
What about the neurodiversity (including autistic) community? There is a
local organisation in Brighton and a member of the Steering Committee of the
London Autistic Rights Movement works in London but lives in Brighton.
Yours
Adrian Whyatt, London Autistic Rights Movement Steering Group Member
