🎧 Have you listened to Lyric’s episode yet?

Lyric Rivera, a late-identified autistic and ADHD adult, writer, and the creator of Neurodivergent Rebel joins me on the podcast.

This is her lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from their story:

➡️ No two autistic people are the same, it’s a vast spectrum and every person’s experience is shaped by their own unique combination of identity, background, and co-occurring conditions. Stop comparing yourself to others.

➡️ Masking has a real cost. Years of hiding traits and trying to fit in leads to exhaustion and burnout. Understanding why you mask, and learning to unmask safely, is a vital part of autistic self-discovery.

➡️ A diagnosis can be the beginning, not the end. Over time shame is replaced with self-understanding and acceptance. Safe relationships are possible once you know your needs.

➡️ Small, consistent strategies make a big difference. From ‘parking lot’ notebooks for ideas and tasks, to body doubling in the mornings and time-blocked calendars, there are actionable tools that support focus, memory, and regulation.

What has resonated with you most from her story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

“There’s not one way to be autistic. There’s as many ways to be autistic as there are autistic people in the world.”

Lyric Rivera, a late-identified autistic and ADHD adult, writer, and the creator of Neurodivergent Rebel, joins me on the podcast.

We talk openly about what life looked like before diagnosis such as the masking, the burnout, the sense of never quite fitting in. Then how everything began to shift once Lyric understood themselves as autistic.

🎧 Have you listened to Hannah’s episode yet?

Hannah Gibson, founder of a disability inclusion consultancy and registered blind advocate, is on the podcast to share her personal journey of unmasking and self-acceptance.

This is her lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from their story:

➡️ Building a small, trusted circle is essential when beginning to unmask. Who can support and empower you?

➡️ Articulating your needs without overwhelming emotion takes time and practice - be patient with yourself as you develop confidence in self-advocacy.

➡️ Neurodivergent burnout often shows warning signs. Watch for increased anxiety over minor details, feelings of upset before work, and a persistent sense of heaviness or "ice in your chest."

➡️ Self-acceptance is not a destination but an ongoing journey that requires active work, vulnerability, and kindness.

➡️ Meditation, yoga, Reiki, and similar practices can help neurodivergent individuals move out of chaotic thinking minds and into the body.
What has resonated with you most from her story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

"Life sometimes is difficult and we are thrown lots of different hands. It's about getting back to self-acceptance. Put your own oxygen mask on first. It's not selfish, it's necessary."

Hannah Gibson, founder of a disability inclusion consultancy and registered blind advocate, is on the podcast to share her personal journey of unmasking and self-acceptance.

She opens up about living with retinitis pigmentosa, her experiences masking in corporate leadership roles, and the transformative moment when she chose vulnerability over hiding.

🎧 Have you listened to Alex’s episode yet?

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, neurodiversity and inclusion specialist, Alex Silk, shares the importance of listening to young people in educational decisions, the realities of different school provisions, and practical strategies for supporting neurodivergent students.

This is her lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from her story:

➡️ Career fulfilment comes from making a genuine difference, not just earning money. Find your true purpose.

➡️ Learning communication goes both ways: observing and adapting to how young people communicate is more effective than expecting them to adapt to us.

➡️ Most children with additional needs thrive in mainstream schools with appropriate support, and families should explore all options, including resource provisions within mainstream settings.

➡️ Educational decisions should prioritise the young person's voice and experience.

➡️ Research and school visits are essential, but the most important factor is listening to what feels right for your child and respecting their preferences.
What has resonated with you most from her story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

"I learned so much about communication from these young people in that so many of them didn't have a voice at all. They used signing, gesture, eye gaze, or various different communication styles that I had no idea even existed."

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, I chat with Alex Silk, a neurodiversity and inclusion specialist, about how we can best support neurodivergent students.

Where do you go to find support? Whether it's a community, a resource, or a group that has helped you or someone you care about, I’d love for you to share in the comments!

🎧 Have you listened to Sam’s episode yet?

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, hypnotherapist Sam, shares practical strategies for managing anxiety during times of change.

This is her lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from her story:

➡️ Creating safe spaces is essential for neurodivergent children to feel comfortable opening up about their anxieties.

➡️ Transitions bring multiple challenges at once e.g. new environments, teachers and routines. This can be overwhelming for neurodivergent individuals.

➡️ Simple techniques like breathing exercises and visualisation can transform anxiety into confidence and help children navigate challenging situations.

➡️ Fear often holds us back from reaching our potential, but with the right tools and support, we can move beyond it.

What has resonated with you most from her story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

"We really don't fulfil most of our potential of what we can do, and sometimes we allow fear to get in the way. But actually on the other side of fear is the thing that you want."

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, I chat with Sam Bowley, a hypnotherapist specialising in anxiety management for neurodivergent children and young people.

From creating safe spaces to understanding the unique challenges neurodivergent children face, she offers practical strategies for managing anxiety during times of change.

AJIC Transformational Journey

My name is Asma Jacob, and I have set up Achievable Journey to Inspire Change. (AJ IC)as I am very passionate about helping others and really believe using these techniques can make a huge difference. My goal is to support children and adults with special needs to be able to achieve day to day tasks by staying calm, relaxed and feel in control. I believe working intensely with individuals/groups, i can enable people to become more independent and able to access the bigger world feeling more in control of their emotion. I use bespoke strategies using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and EFT (Emotional Freedome Techinique) and Hypnotherapy with Solution Focus Psychotherapy which will give people the right tools to achieve their goal. I am also able to support and work closely with parents/carers to give them the right tools, to be able to support themselves and their children. These tools can help with behavior that can be challenging, phobia's, stress, anxiety, and more. My mission is to work together with schools, professional organisations and within the home, as i truly believe looking at all aspects and working together can make a huge positive impact in anyones life. This can be achieved through 1:1 sessions, group sessions, workshops etc. or a combination of ways.
