Description
Catherine speaks to Sofia Akbar about her late autistic discovery.
Sofia is a late diagnosed AuDHD single mum and secondary maths teacher.
Her self discovery journey started from the trials of her oldest son's autism diagnosis, impacted by the trauma of (TW) domestic abuse and racial discrimination.
She was recognised for her Support for Inclusive Learning by Scottish Asian Minority Ethnic Educators in 2022 and also won Small Business Award from Scottish Asian and Business Awards 2023 for her private tuition business called Limitless Learners.
Sofia has also been nominated as a finalist for British Muslim Awards Community Spirit for her role in setting up and leading Scottish Ethnic Minority Autistics CIC.
