I am a neurodiverse advocate and speaker who is dedicated to promoting understanding, acceptance, and inclusivity in all areas of life. By sharing personal experiences and insights as a neurodiverse individual, I strive to shed light on the challenges and triumphs of navigating a world that is not always designed with neurodiversity in mind.
Speaking Topics
- Adding Neurodiverse Perspectives to Organizations – I discuss the importance of incorporating neurodiverse perspectives in workplaces and educational settings. Unlocking the potential of neurodiverse individuals can lead to greater innovation, productivity, and inclusivity within organizations.
- Building Ramps, Not Stairs – I advocate for creating environments that are accessible and accommodating to all individuals, including those with diverse abilities. By building “ramps” in our systems and structures, we can ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.
- Living in a World Not Made for My Brain – Drawing from personal experiences, I explore the daily struggles and unique aspects of navigating a world that does not always meet my needs. This topic sheds light on the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals and the importance of fostering acceptance and understanding.
- Understanding Autism — Providing an insider’s perspective, I offer insights into autism spectrum disorder, debunk common myths, and share my lived experiences of being autistic. This topic aims to increase awareness and promote a more inclusive world.
- Autism and Relationships – Delving into relationships and family dynamics, I discuss the nuances of loving and supporting a neurodiverse individual. By offering practical advice and heartfelt reflections, I aim to foster empathy, communication, and appreciation for neurodiverse loved ones.
