The hosts
- Phillip
Phillip only discovered that he had an autism spectrum condition in middle-age, and has spent the last nine years catching up on all the little and big things that make life different and difficult. He receives autism coaching in one-to-one sessions, and has a strong ethos of paying-it-forward to help others. His work history is varied, but mostly technical, with very good computer skills, and a large stock of experience and knowledge. Now working part-time, he’s offering a helping hand as a Talented Amateur By Experience, not being willing to claim that he is an Expert.
- Nina
Nina is one of the Solar Sisters and very keen to help support Phillip in his quest to provide a social support group for the neurodiverse. Nina will be the vibe monitor at the events, making sure the environment is pleasant for all those attending, as well as keeping track of the time and making sure things run smoothly.
