At Autism Champions, we approach every young person and every family from a place of curiosity. We work on the assumption that everyone is doing the best they can with the resources, understanding and support they currently have. When things are difficult, we don't start by asking, "What's wrong?" Instead, we ask, "What's happened here, and what might this young person need?" 

Some of my work involves providing one-to-one autism support in schools. This is about getting to know each young person as an individual, understanding what helps them feel safe, comfortable and able to engage, and working with school staff to create environments where they can thrive. I am passionate about helping schools better understand autism and make meaningful adjustments that support wellbeing and inclusion.

Being autistic and having ADHD is like living at the intersection of structure and chaos. My autistic side craves routine, predictability, and quiet. It wants the world to slow down, make sense, stay still. But my ADHD side? It craves movement, novelty, stimulation. It gets bored easily, distracted constantly, and restless in silence.
