Brett Heasman

Brett’s area of specialist research is Autism, and his research has been published in international leading journals. He also lectures on topics related to autism and social interaction.

Brett has collaborated with Matthew’s Hub members to create a public exhibition in London called ‘Open Minds’, which provided a platform for autistic voices to be heard in the public domain and improve public understanding of autism. The exhibition has reached over 10,000 people and has resulted in autism awareness resources that are being used by local councils and charities in the UK, Australia and the US.

Brett believes passionately in the vital role Matthew’s Hub plays, especially as it is among only a handful of charities in the UK that support autistic adults. He is very proud to be a trustee and proud of the great work of Matthew’s Hub, as it continues to grow and adapt to meet the needs of its members.
