Autistic Reader Interview: Chelsey Flood

"A lot of autistic people use alcohol as a way to hide their differences and sensitivities, and so I hope writing about my experience will help them feel less alone."

Chelsey Flood is the author of award-winning YA novels Infinite Sky and Nightwanderers, and a senior lecturer in creative writing at UWE. 

She is currently working on a literary memoir, Beautiful Hangover: How a late autism diagnosis helped me make peace with a drunken past and writes a newsletter of the same title at Substack.

Chelsey lives in Bristol, UK, with her partner and their pets.
