“What Happened to Me”

Dr Louise Beattie, PhD, CPsychol

I had a happy childhood…

But things went a bit pear-shaped upon moving out of the family home…

Psychosis develops over time…

Me at that time

And I was refereed to ESTEEM…

…and from there the Yarrow View Adult Autism Centre

…Where I attended the women’s Post Diagnostic Support Group…

But I graduated my PhD…

Have published several papers…

..and now have a good full-time job (!)
