In this episode, I chat to Lydia Wilkins, who is an award winning freelance journalist who specialises in disability and social inequality issues. She also is the current editor of Disability Review Magazine; her other work has been published in places such as The Metro, Refinery 29, Insider, the Brighton Seagull, PossAbility Magazine, The Simple Things and others. 


At AccessAble, who she is also an ambassador for, Lydia also edits their in-house newsletters. Her work as an ambassador has included speaking, video editing, consultancy and more. She is represented by Impacting The Young for speaking commitments. 


Lydia is also the author of The Autism Friendly Cookbook, which won 2 awards at the Gourmand awards in 2023. This has since been adapted into a pilot course in East Sussex, a first of its kind approach, with more to be developed.


She is currently working on her second book.
