The Centre For Autism Wellbeing Hub is delighted to welcome back Jon Adams for our February Webinar. Jon’s talk is titled “A Conversation Sparrows<\/strong>– Tales of autistic experience, trauma and wellbeing seen from within a personal creative narrative”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jon’s talk originally took place in July 2025, however a technical error meant that unfortunately the webinar was not able to be viewed live by those who had registered.<\/p>\n

Jon will now give a live introduction to the recording of his talk, and will hold a live Q&A session afterwards.<\/p>\n

Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jon is both a contemporary artist and researcher. He works in many differing media including sound, drawing and performance, often referencing his autism, synaesthesia and dyslexia, all interwoven with history, science, time and his past experiences.<\/p>\n

The Centre for Autism Wellbeing Hub<\/strong>
\nThe Wellbeing Hub is a new initiative, funded by University of Reading Alumni. The aim of the Hub is to bring together autistic people, their families, practitioners and researchers to co-produce and deliver neurodiversity-affirming activities that support autistic young people and their families to thrive and flourish.<\/span><\/p>\n
