Noise. Unfamiliar smells. Unexpected changes to plans. Social exhaustion. All things that travellers may experience, and possibly more intensely if they have autism. Dan Bird received his autism diagnosis aged twenty-seven, and in that moment so many of the challenges he'd experienced in his life made sense. Challenges he had encountered in his day-to-day life, and also when travelling, something he loves to do. Since his diagnosis with autism, he has learned a huge amount about himself and what it means for his life, including how he travels. He has had some incredible experiences across the globe, and both before and after his diagnosis. he has adapted the way he travels based on his specific needs and challenges. Dan has also found ways to harness his autistic strengths to make his overseas explorations more wholesome, memorable and personalised. Traversing five continents, Go Neuro Way details his travelling experiences as a child, a young person prior to his diagnosis, and in the years following. He hopes that, by sharing his own experiences, he can offer helpful information to other autistic people, carers of neurodiverse individuals and anyone who enjoys travelling as much as he does.
