My Work Passions

• Being neuroaffirming – the narrow view of neurotypical and acceptable is the problem: not neurodivergence. Let’s accept who we are, understand ourselves, and discover how to hack our way through life as a bright neurodivergent star in the cloudy sky of the neurotypical world.
• Internalised, high-masking, non-stereotypical presentations of neurodivergence.

• Reflective practice – in myself and others: engaging in it, modelling it, teaching it.
