Board

Three directors, and all three have shaped The Autistic Standard: one wrote it, one is its clinical authority, and one is its intersectionality specialist.

Kyriakos is the founder and Chair of Aurum Foundation and the founder and CEO of Just Gold Digital Agency Pty Ltd, Australia's first certified social enterprise management consultancy and creative agency.
