I’m Sarah, and I became involved with neurodivergent advocacy in 2019 when I discovered I am autistic and then my ADHD the year after. I realised that many people aren’t aware of their neurodivergence until adulthood, while often struggling in a “normal” world without understanding why.
And that was where Autistically Sarah was born! It all started with me writing about my experiences of being unaware of my neurodivergence for over 20 years. Since then, the blog has grown from strength to strength, and I have expanded to writing about issues neurodivergent people face, alongside my own insights. Leading to the publication of my first book, ‘Young, Autistic and ADHD: Moving into adulthood when you’re multiply-neurodivergent’.
I also work with organisations seeking to build their knowledge and confidence around neurodivergence through training design and delivery, writing, consultancy and public speaking. Find out more about my portfolio and how to get in touch for work enquiries here
