A Message to My Autistic Kin

I know websites are a great marketing tool, however I want this website to be more than that. I want this website to make it clear that my life’s dedication is to support Autistic adults by all means- my services, my writing, my advocacy, my way of being, and my kinship. This is not about monetizing a trend for me. This is about long-overdue care for Autistic humans as much as it is about supporting my family and myself in this financially demanding culture.

To that end, although I have over 20 years of personal and professional experience and training working with and for people who have non-visible disabilities, I aspire every day to show up with “pure motivation,” a practice my Buddhist teacher instilled in me, a practice which assists me in by-passing the pitfalls of ego, seeing people for the gift of humanity that they are, and being of service not just to myself, but to others, to the greatest extent that I can.

Right now, I see and feel my Autistic community experiencing grave challenges that make the task of thriving on this planet at this time seem overwhelming. Discrimination against disabled folks, called ‘Ableism”, is running rampant like an unchecked pandemic, and we need real, meaningful understanding, validation, and support just to survive. I’ve had a small collective of solid Autism-specific supports in my life over the last few years, allowing me to experience feeling deeply resourced, and I am grateful for this collective which allows me to show up for you right here and right now.

My hope is that you find something in this website that supports and inspires you. If the information in this website seems overwhelming and you are Autistic, whether your diagnosis comes from your own knowing or external system approval, you are invited to reach out to me directly to learn about my services one-to-one in a 15-min free meet-and-greet.
