World Autism Awareness Day 2025

To mark World Autism Awareness Day 2025 we're sharing an archive interview with DASH CEO Heather Peak on the Square Peg podcast: Resculpting our lives post-diagnosis: autism, art and connecting with ourselves and each other.

In her conversation with podcaster Amy Richards, she talks about:

➡ Re-writing and reframing her life and art post-diagnosis

➡ The push-pull between distraction and hyperfocus

➡ Autistic joy, and the healing power of nature and animals

➡ Making art that speaks to neurodivergent audiences, pattern spotting, and using art as a medium to interpret the world and connect with others

Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes.
