Neurodiversity has been a part of my life since the beginning. My younger brother was diagnosed autistic at 4 years old and I decided to study as much as I could about it, volunteered and worked at homes and centres. I also worked as an ABA (Applied Behavioural Analysis) tutor for a short time and have an understanding of how harmful certain kinds of behavioural therapy can be. It took a long time for me to realise in the end that I was autistic too! After finally being diagnosed at 29 and now equipped with these experiences, I want to be able to share what I’ve learnt and help other families understand what neuro-developmental conditions really are and how to thrive in this chaotic world.
