Asia Dimitrova
SEN Oaklands School, UK
Biography
She was born as a high functioning autistic in a communist country within a family and society ignorant to the spectrum. She has learnt to use her special interest in people as a super-power to shift the paradigm and integrate radically new concepts and insights about the autistic world into the not-autistic frame of reference. At present, she is a certified SEN tutor, an author, consultant and inspirational speaker on autism. All her years of experience, combined with being autistic herself, give her a point of view and a set of perceptions very different from the ordinary which makes her input original and insightful.
