Moments with Maxine today is with Luke Walsh who talks about being on the Autistic spectrum and what that means to him.
Throughout his education Luke had had extra support in lessons due to his autism and ADHD. However, as he got older he wanted to become more independent.
When Luke joined the University of Bedfordshire through Clearing in 2016, he felt liberated and able to study and learn independently, knowing support was always nearby if he needed it.
“University was beyond a dream come true. It has presented a fresh opportunity for me not only to fulfil my ambition to pursue a degree in Broadcast Journalism, but also to be far more independent in what I wanted to do and study.”
Luke now hosts his own show on Radio LaB, the University’s community radio station and recently completed an internship at BBC Three Counties Radio.
“Having the freedom to study the way it works for me has boosted my independence and allowed me to flourish not only as a student but also as an individual,” said Luke.
Tune in to hear Luke talk more on this great podcast.
