Autism- Research Through Our Eyes (Noa Girls)

Noa’s research explored the lived experiences of six neurodivergent girls navigating a neurotypical world, with a focus on how this shaped their school life, emotional wellbeing, and social interactions. Key themes included feeling misunderstood, sensory overload, the pressures of masking, anxiety, and the need for routine. The study highlighted the deep emotional toll of trying to fit into environments not designed for them, and the importance of greater awareness and understanding from educators. The findings are powerful in understanding how we need to support these pupils staying in education.
