Frances Brennan is a neurodivergent speech pathologist, mentor, trainer and disability advocate, and she joins us to discuss queer autistic masking.

Frances currently operates her own holistic neurodiverse-affirming speech pathology clinic in outer Melbourne, The Speech Tree.

Frances will be delivering a workshop on this topic at the upcoming LGBTIQ+ Women’s Health Conference. Find out more here.
