How do we truly hear the voices of young autistic children? Professor Sarah Parsons shares the story behind 'I Am' Digital Stories, that places autistic children and young people at the centre of conversations about their education and support. Sarah explains how these videos transform transitions and allow practitioners to meet the young person authentically through their own voices, interests, and strategies for success.

The conversation also explores the power of research-practice partnerships, where questions emerge from practice. We also touch on current challenges in education, including the particularly concerning rates of school non-attendance among autistic girls, and why relationship-building and truly understanding individual young people remains at the heart of meaningful support.
