Diane: Lived Experience of Autoimmune Encephalitis

Diane, 21, from London. is a final year Psychology with Cognitive Neuroscience undergraduate student, aspiring clinical neuropsychologist, speaker, social entrepreneur, encephalitis overcomer and volunteer. Diane had auto-immune encephalitis in 2018, when she was 15 which encompassed months in a semi-coma state where she couldn’t talk, walk, eat or see due to complete vision loss from high intracranial pressure.
She shares her experience at the My Brain: My Story: My Family event in Newcastle October 2024
"Although it was a journey, I am grateful and humbled to have had such a great recovery from auto-immune encephalitis which serves as a reason behind my passion of positively impacting those affected by encephalitis and supporting Encephalitis International in their efforts of raising awareness as a support volunteer." Diane
