How does a diagnosis of autism in your 20’s help you better understand your experience of school?
And how does being ‘coached’ for Oxbridge clash when you can’t perform recall under pressure?
Cameron Phillips is Head of Customer Success at @KAYBE_Group and was expected by his school to go on to study for a degree but he found he was unsuited to high-pressure exam situations.
In our conversation, Cameron shares:
• Why he swapped studying for A-levels for overtime shifts in a kitchen
• What it was about exams that made him feel uncomfortable
• His experience of being diagnosed with autism
• How he learned how to leverage his neurodiversity
• How educational establishments and employers can better support neurodiverse people
