Neurodivergent Community Building
Creating spaces for connection, mutual support, shared learning, and collective advocacy. Building resilient communities where neurodivergent people find belonging, learn to understand and accept their own neurotype, and develop frameworks for navigating an allistic-dominant world. This includes both the internal work of self-acceptance and understanding one's brain's actual operating system, and the external work of building sustainable patterns and finding others who share the experience.
Family & Relationships
Supporting families where neurotype differences create friction—parents understanding neurodivergent children, siblings navigating different processing styles, extended family dynamics. Particularly focused on romantic partnerships where one partner is allistic and the other is neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD, etc.), helping both partners understand they're working with different communication operating systems. Supporting friendships and chosen family structures through cognitive diversity frameworks.
