Ballantine began her PhD in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies in 2017. Over the course of her studies, she worked with groups of autistic and non-autistic students and faculty to learn about the lived experiences of autistic students.

“They gave me insight into their experiences and what it’s like to be in a university as an autistic student – what worked well, what didn’t, what was challenging.”

In 2022, Ballantine won second place in Carleton University’s Three Minute Thesis competition and went on to represent Carleton in the regional finals.
