A social enterprise helping people on the autistic spectrum and the people around them.
Have you been diagnosed with autism or do you suspect you might be on the autism spectrum?
The Curly Hair Project has a range of e-courses designed to help you learn more about yourself and provide sensible, practical strategies to make your life easier.
Our autism courses for autistic people provide many helpful tips to help you understand yourself better and feel more confident in your daily life. We cover topics such as managing anxiety, communication, memory and problem-solving, processing sensory information, and social skills. Our courses are narrated by Alis Rowe, who created The Curly Hair Project to help autistic people. She is passionate about raising autism awareness and provides guidance and support through our online courses and blog to help you grow.
Insightful Guidance by Alis Rowe
The Curly Hair Project was founded by Alis Rowe, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome in adulthood. Before her diagnosis, she had always felt isolated and different but was unsure of the reason why. Her experiences motivated her to create The Curly Hair project to help others learn more about themselves and understand their strengths and challenges.
Understanding Yourself
Join us on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth through our autism courses. Our courses provide valuable insights into autism and equip you with practical strategies for navigating daily life while confidently embracing your unique strengths.
You will learn to manage anxiety, improve communication, and embrace individuality. Our classes are designed to help you understand why you may experience misunderstandings and how to enhance your communication with others. You will also learn how others can adapt their communication to support you.
Our courses are designed to help you understand why you may experience anxiety and offer practical suggestions for managing it effectively. Additionally, you will gain insights into why you may take longer to complete tasks than others, why you might struggle with forgetfulness and disorganisation, and how having autism may affect your work.
We offer courses designed to improve the well-being of individuals on the autism spectrum, regardless of whether they have received a diagnosis.

Alis, who is the creator of The Curly Hair Project, wasn’t diagnosed until she was an adult, and her life was unbearable up until that point. She never wants anyone to feel as isolated and anxious as she did. Alis is now living a more comfortable and fulfilling life and this is only because of the strategies she has devised and succinctly communicated in the e-courses.
Along with our e-courses, we also have a variety of resources for autistic people such as:
