Alis Rowe

My name is Alis and I am the founder of The Curly Hair Project, a social enterprise that supports people on the autistic spectrum. I live in London. I have a 1st class chemistry degree and a Masters. I am an author, scriptwriter, songwriter, rapper, film director, marketer and entrepreneur. I have the energy of a Siberian Husky and the drive of a Mercedes Benz. I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome when I was 22 and I started The Curly Hair Project to innovate the way the world views and understands autism. I’m extremely passionate and disciplined about what I do! I have combined all of my interests and skills – and learned plenty of new skills along the way! – to create some amazing resources including: books, visual guides, blog, infographics, training courses, webinars, songs and animated films. Several years later The Curly Hair Project is now an award-winning organisation known worldwide and our resources are endorsed by the world’s leading clinical psychologist, Professor Tony Attwood. I very much hope you enjoy my work and that it helps make your life and relationships more manageable and enjoyable.
