Pete Wharmby was diagnosed as autistic at the age of 34. Shocked by the statistics around depression, anxiety and life expectancy for autistic people, Pete has immersed himself in working to improve neurodiversity awareness, acceptance and making the world a more suitable place for the neurodivergent community to live in. Pete was diagnosed as ADHD in April 2024. He has written two books on autistic experience: Untypical and What I Want to Talk About: How Autistic Special Interests Shape a Life.
