Neurodiversity-affirming practice starts with understanding.

Square Me, Round World was written for children, parents, and educators to build empathy and connection. The Educator’s Guide takes it further - giving you strategies to make your classroom a place where Autistic/ADHD students thrive.

When we talk about “choice” as if it’s equal for everyone, we erase the systemic factors that make some paths inaccessible.

Money. Power. Race. Culture. Disability. Gender. All shape what’s truly available to us.
Privilege is being able to call something a choice without having to weigh the cost.

Let’s be mindful - in our language, our policies, our expectations - of whose realities we’re centring.

What’s something you’ve seen framed as a “choice” that isn’t really a choice for everyone?

Anxiety in Autistic students is often misread as defiance, withdrawal, or disinterest.
When we see the signs for what they are, an automatic nervous system response, we can respond with support, not punishment.

That’s why I created this free resource for educators, parents, and allied health professionals. It’s short, practical, and ready to use today.

When we challenge myths about neurodiversity-affirming group facilitation, we make more space for safety, trust, and real learning.

If you’ve been holding back from running a group because you weren’t sure you’d ‘get it right’, my upcoming Facilitator Training is for you.

This training blends lived experience, professional insight, and practical steps - so you can move from uncertainty to confidence.

📅 Starts 13th of October
⚡ Early bird pricing for the first 20 participants

It’s not just about fidget toys.

Sensory-friendly environments consider lighting, noise, movement, and downtime.

The best interventions are simple, affordable, and built on understanding, not assumptions.

Self-care doesn’t always mean a full routine, a spa day, or a deep-dive into mindfulness.

Sometimes it’s about bare minimum, but make it kind.

Sometimes it’s about giving yourself what’s manageable - not what’s ideal.

Whether you’re in burnout, low on spoons, overstimulated, or just doing your best - these low-demand ideas are for you.
• Stretch while still lying down
• Put on your noise-cancelling headphones and breathe
• Sip water from your favourite (preferably sparkly) cup
• Step outside and feel the sun (with hat/sunnies if you’re light-sensitive like me)
• Repeat a lyric/phrase that helps you feel steady

You don’t need to earn rest. You don’t need to wait until you’re falling apart to care for yourself.

Which one will you try today?

More professionals are moving beyond tick-box inclusion to truly understanding the lived experiences of Autistic and ADHD individuals.

It’s not just about adjusting strategies - it’s about challenging our frameworks.
Lived experience isn’t an optional extra; it’s essential.

Are you ready to rethink your approach? Let’s connect and have a chat about how I can help you with this!

This work is deep. Emotional. Often life-changing.

My beta group is currently moving through Building Your Neurodivergent Identity - and the participants have shared that they are feeling validated and seen.

This program was built from both lived experience and professional insight. And soon, you’ll be able to take the journey at your own pace.

The self-paced version is coming!

If you’ve been craving a space to unmask, understand yourself, and rebuild from a place of compassion - this is for you.

Watch this space.
