The World of Other Wise Hearts

Join autistic author and psychotherapist Hayley Graham and illustrator Jamie Whyte for an engaging presentation that brings together storytelling, illustration and psychological insight.

Using examples from Other Wise Hearts, Hayley and Jamie will show how art and story can illuminate aspects of autism and provide a visceral understanding of everyday autistic experiences, including loneliness, difference, masking, sensory sensitivity, vulnerability and demand avoidance.

Hayley will also share some of the psychology behind the stories, drawing on research into autistic experience and social understanding. The event offers a unique glimpse into the creative process behind the book and the ideas that shaped it and will allow plenty of time for asking questions and relaxed conversation.
