How does seeing the world differently shape the stories we tell?

Award-winning writer, illustrator and comedian Aoife Dooley explores how her experience as an autistic creative has influenced her work across books, illustration, comedy and television.

Drawing on her own journey, Aoife reflects on how understanding her neurodivergence transformed her creative process, inspired the bestselling Frankie's World series, and helped her tell stories that connect with readers and audiences of all ages. Blending humour, honesty and insight, she will discuss the value of embracing different ways of thinking, challenging stereotypes, and finding your own creative voice.

Expect an engaging, funny and thought-provoking conversation celebrating creativity, identity and the power of authentic storytelling.
