Testimonials

“I was not aware of the autistic ‘SPACE’ framework and again knowledge of this and how this is to be considered is really useful.”

“This could be used for neurotypical and neurodivergent clients to help build a safe space and build a trusting relationship where they feel heard/considered”

“This guide is a world first, and long overdue. Nicole has put so much hard work, research, tireless consultation and practice-based wisdom into this extensive resource. The guide introduces crucial concepts for us to consider in how we understand and respond to adults who use violence without neurotypical privilege, as well as diving deep into practice. An essential resource for any practitioner engaging with men and other adults who perpetrate domestic abuse.”

“I had some knowledge of neurodivergence but the key terms were useful and the guide outlines a more in-depth description of autism, ADHD etc. It also outlines the relevance to domestic abuse perpetrator interventions.”

“We found the guide to be very positive, informative and educational. It is very user-friendly, being easy to read and apply in practice. We look forward to using the guide more, as it will be beneficial in directing future practice and engagement with service users.”

“Being a project partner on the development of the Neurodiversity Practitioner Guide for more inclusive domestic abuse perpetrator interventions has been an honour. As a Neurodivergent-led organisation, we worked with Nicole to ensure the interventions are shaped by and responsive to the communities they are designed to support. Nicole is a superb researcher; thorough, dedicated, and deeply committed to improving service outcomes. Her work is consistently informed by lived experience voices and perspectives, which strengthens both its relevance and impact. This has been an excellent example of true co-production. Thank you, Nicole, for your outstanding work.”
