I had such an amazing time photographing the Goldfield family, they are so kind, funny and welcoming. I think this family is a perfect example of how a blend of neurotypical and autistic people in a family work, and thrive together. Dad - Munro, Poppy and Oliver, who have featured in this project are autistic, whereas Mum - Deborah and siblings Rosie and Wilf, are neurotypical. Deborah is the heart and centre of the family, and they all love outdoor activities together. As well as being a fantastic mum, Deborah is also an emergency medicine doctor! Thank you so much to the Goldfields for inviting me in to their family and making me feel so welcome.

‘There is never, ever a dull moment in a family with a mix of autistic and neurotypical adults and children. With a great deal of love, understanding, patience and knowledge, a mixed family and relationship can thrive and be extremely loving. My happy place is being outside with my children in the weeds or wild swimming - Deborah Goldfield, mother of 4, partner of late diagnosis autistic, best friend and emergency medicine doctor’.
