Hi, I’m Kirstie.

I’m an autistic and ADHD professional with a background in supporting autistic young people, creating accessible resources, developing training and helping people better understand themselves and others.

For the past five years, I’ve been part of the Spectrum Gaming community, working alongside autistic young people and other neurodivergent adults to develop resources and support grounded in lived experience. I’ve worked across training, advocacy, content creation and project development, with a particular interest in making complex ideas easier to understand and genuinely useful.

My twenty years of experience supporting young people stretches across a range of ages and settings, from early years through to young adult learners in further education. I’ve also worked in 1:1 mentoring, and my experience of home educating my own AuDHD children has given me another perspective on learning, autonomy, and the different ways people grow and develop.

I’m passionate about helping fellow neurodivergent people better understand themselves, recognise their strengths, navigate challenges and find ways of doing things that work for them. I’m equally interested in helping the people around them develop a more informed, compassionate understanding of their experiences.

Alongside my work with people, I love the creative side of turning ideas into something tangible: writing articles, developing training, designing resources, building websites and finding new ways to communicate information. I’m particularly drawn to work that brings together lived experience, practical knowledge and creative problem-solving.

Now working for myself, I’m bringing those interests together through my own work in mentoring, training, consultancy and content creation. I’m interested in projects that make a meaningful difference, challenge assumptions and help create environments where autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people can be understood and supported on their own terms.

If you’d like to find out more about 1:1 mentoring, or working with me, you can do that here!
