Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
The questions I work with tend to be the ones that matter most and get asked least: normalcy, productivity, the unspoken rules that decide who belongs and who doesn't. I'm an autistic writer, trainer, and consultant based in Barcelona, working at the intersection of Disability Studies, Critical Autism Studies, class, and the politics of inclusion. I have published six books – including the award-winning Eccentrico and Rompere il gioco – and my work has been anthologised and presented at literary festivals, universities, and international conferences across Europe. For over a decade, I have designed and delivered training programmes on neurodivergence, inclusive communication, and workplace inclusion for major Italian and international companies. I also lecture at the University of Barcelona (IL3) and LUMSA University in Rome. My approach is the same whether I'm writing a book or running a workshop: rigorous, direct, and uncomfortable when necessary.
I promote the inclusion of Diversity with a special emphasis on the importance of communication in D&I through blog posts, interviews with national newspaper, speeches, seminars, and conferences in schools, associations, and online platforms. I give training about neurodiversity and inclusion in the workplace I'm also the President of the Committee for equal rights of disabled students in conservatories and art academies and Vice President of the Association Neuropeculiar, for the self-representation and self-determination of autistics.
