Claire Thompson: Personal, Professional and Political Stories

Claire Thompson is, amongst many other things, Neurodiversity Ambassador for the NCPS. In this role she has shared research-informed insights through her writing and conference work, all with the aim of creating a more accepting world for neurodivergence.

There’s a reason why Claire is such a passionate advocate; and that is due to her own lived experience. 
She tells us how being a Mum to 3 neurodivergent children, resulted in her own personal discovery of difference and identity when she herself was diagnosed AuDHD.
In addition, Claire has recently completed a PhD at Ulster University, where through its famous murals, she researched the intergenerational impact of the conflict in Northern Ireland. By listening in, you can hear Claire describing an exploration of socioeconomics, identity, tourism trauma and PTSD.
