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.

Jack and Jacinta chat with Frances about the clients they work with, as well as the emotional and psychological impacts of masking for queer women in particular.

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