Meet The Girl With The Curly Hair

Hello, welcome to my website. My name is Alis and I am the founder of The Curly Hair Project, an organisation 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, poet, songwriter, A Writer Learning How To Rap, film director, marketer and entrepreneur.

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, podcasts, training courses, webinars, songs and animated films.

Several years later The Curly Hair Project is now an award-winning organisation known worldwide and my resources are endorsed by the world’s leading autism 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. My adolescence would have been so different if I had been able to access the information, books and resources that my organisation now offers people. I want to make sure that children and families don’t have the experience I did, that is why I started The Curly Hair Project.

Thanks so much for visiting my website and taking an interest. Thanks to people like you, I am able to share my true gift (writing) with the world and really make a difference in the world. If I don’t share with others what I have learned in this life, what is the point? 🙂

Sincerely,

Alis Rowe

“I am in awe of how much you have done for raising awareness of ASD in girls for me and the world at large. Without you I’d have been in the madhouse long ago. You have helped me understand my daughter and son better than majority of the copious websites & pages I have spent researching in 14yrs. Kudos to you. Our Angel xx”
