Shocked by the statistics around depression\, anxiety and life expectancy for autistic people\, Pete has immersed himself in working to improve neurodiversity awareness\, acceptance and making the world a more suitable place for the neurodivergent community to live in. Pete was diagnosed as ADHD in April 2024. He has written two books on autistic experience: Untypical and What I Want to Talk About: How Autistic Special Interests Shape a Life.
