Cayley (Cay) Burton

Copywriter and Research Coordinator

Caring, Creative, Curious

I became an advocate for Autistic children and youth through my work as a caregiver and Autism Service Provider for the last 4 years in Vancouver/on Coast Salish territory. As a non-Autistic advocate, educator and graduate student, I’m passionate about teaching, learning and research that is reciprocal, inclusive and community-oriented. I discovered AutismBC when I joined the Parent and Caregiver Support Group (10+yrs). My writing about autism has been featured in the Georgia Straight and the AutismBC website.

I am a big fan and collector of graphic novels, including those written for kids! Some of my favourites include Lumberjanes, Saga, Skim, Bone, Nimona and Are You My Mother?
