Autism: Helping others after late diagnosis
Claudia Van-Nimwegen struggled in school and was in a bad place as a teenager.
After she tried to take her own life, she was given mental health treatment. This eventually led to a diagnosis of autism, at age 19.
Claudia is 25 now and works as a teacher and mentor at Big Creative Education, guiding neuro-divergent pupils through their schooling and helping them to feel accepted.
She uses her past experiences to teach the younger generation how to be themselves and provide them with opportunities.
