Ana Palacios

Ana has a background in the contemporary arts and after receiving an adult diagnosis of Autism and ADHD, she realised her art practice had emerged as a positive adaptation to the challenges of being neurodivergent.

Starting at Spectrum Space as a volunteer in 2017, Ana began working as a visual arts facilitator before expanding her role further. She now focuses on peer work, promoting positive neurodivergent identity, as well as the development and facilitation of training and educational programs to the community and workplaces.
