Do I Look Different To You?
Post Graduate Diploma in Autism Studies, Post Graduate Certificate in Education, BA English and Drama, Diploma in Psychology and Counselling. Published author, invited guest speaker and workplace training coordinator.
I might look the same, but that doesn't mean that I am. Neurological differences, such as those associated with autism and ADHD, are often misunderstood, leaving individuals struggling and alone. I work with individuals, families, and organisations to promote autism awareness and recognition. My goal is to change perceptions so that everyone receives the autism support they need, ensuring inclusion and care based on who they truly are. It’s about understanding neuro difference from the inside out.
Different but equal; equal but different.
Neurodifferent brains perceive the world in amazing and unique ways. Promoting autism and ADHD awareness and challenging the myths and stereotypes surrounding neurodiversity is essential for creating safe spaces that offer vital autism support and encourage broader autism recognition. Autism and ADHD awareness plays a crucial role in helping us understand and embrace those who experience the world differently.
Can society ever be friendly to difference?
For fifty years, I struggled with understanding my identity and purpose. With genuine autism recognition and increased ADHD awareness, the lives of individuals with autism and ADHD can dramatically improve. As a teacher, trainer, speaker, and published author, my goal is to foster autism support and provide valuable autism training, ultimately creating a more inclusive world that embraces us for who we truly are. Tiny changes can lead to huge differences.
My new book - Do I Look Different To You - is available now.
Much misunderstanding starts because I don't look different enough. I explore my own life and dispel the myths and misconceptions. For better recognition and a translation guide - this book will help you to understand the hidden world of feeling the world differently.
"Being autistic need not be a problem; being autistic in a society that doesn't understand however, that most certainly can be a problem."
