My Story

I knew I was autistic without a doubt when I was 12, but I didn’t fully admit what that meant for me until I was 32. At that point I joined into autistic conversations online, and found my way to a neuro-affirming peer support coach and their groups. I found such benefit to myself in that world that I took a year to study how to be that peer support coach for others.

“Creatively Autistic”?

My creativity has always been nurtured by the caregivers in my life, but I still truncated my own expression to “fit in” before I realized how core to my well-being creativity is. My autism journey has led me back to creative expressions I hadn’t embraced since my childhood burnout set in!

Whether you are a professional artist or just like to groove to music while doing chores, creativity is part of your life too. Regardless of medium or skill, using creativity to discover yourself is a powerful tool. What is creativity? It is breaking the rules and following your truth. Let me encourage you to trust yourself.
