Kate Skinner

Kate is a second-year psychology student studying DE200 who has always struggled with traditional educational environments. After being diagnosed later in life with multiple neurodivergent conditions and finding some peace with that, Kate decided she wanted to help other people who had been "missed" by services over the years and has been meandering towards a career in adult neurodevelopmental psychology/academia ever since.

When not studying psychology at the Open University, Kate has been an ADHD community builder - creating resources to help people with ADHD understand different parts of the condition, participated in numerous bits of research, and was a "lived experiences lecturer" on occasion at the University of Surrey, where she gave trainee clinical psychologists a chance to ask complex questions that they couldn't ask a patient. She also paints sometimes!
