Amy Walker is an Inclusion and Diversity Manager, autistic advocate and campaigner. She began campaigning for employment inclusion of neurodivergent people after finding difficulty securing accessible work. Eventually she discovered the Employ Autism internship and undertook two internships in the Civil Service and in the advertising agency m/SIX, leading to her role within m/SIX’s parent company GroupM. She created the campaign ‘Neurodiversity Works’ as a Scope for Change project after taking training through Time to Talk’s Young Champion programme. She serves on the board of the Discover Autism Research in Employment (DARE) project with Autistica and Kingston-upon-Thames Council’s autism strategy, consults on inclusion in outreach projects, academic research and clinical trials, and regularly speaks publicly on disability inclusion. She won the Atticus Award for Creativity with Purpose for her essay “Why Neurodiversity Works for Creativity” and has been named on lists of inclusion changemakers by the Institute for Practitioners in Advertising (IPA).
