Academic interests

I am a Doctoral Research Fellow at Østfold University College and enrolled in the PhD program at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oslo. In my PhD thesis, I will research how the perception of autism is shaped by social media.

Background

Education:

Bachelor's in culture and social science from the University of Oslo (UiO). I spent one semester in India where I studied Social Anthropology.
Master's in Area Studies (focus on North America) from UiO. My master thesis focused on immigration and identity in the US.
Teacher Education Programme at UiO.
Master's in Special Education from Østfold University College. I researched how autistic high school students experienced the social aspects of school.

Work Experience:

I have a variety of prior work experiences. I have worked at the Norwegian Refugee Council, the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration, and also worked as a high school teacher in both mainstream high schools and at a department for students with special needs. While studying I worked in kindergartens, nursing homes, a theater, a cemetery (!), and a child welfare institution.

This entry addresses topics regarding students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without intellectual disabilities (ID) in secondary and postsecondary education. This is a group of individuals on the autism spectrum that is often referred to as having a higher functioning autism (Zeliadt 2016) or has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome according to The International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) (World Health Organization 1992). One of the hallmarks of ASD is to have challenges when it comes to social communication, thus making students with ASD at risk of being socially excluded in school settings. In this entry, we address issues pertaining to students with ASD without ID’s school – and student life, especially issues regarding social experiences and mental well-being.
