A few years ago, I was living in a constant state of “holding it all together.”

On the outside, I looked capable. On the inside, I was exhausted from trying to fit into systems and spaces that were never designed with me in mind. I was always trying to explain myself - and yet somehow, I still felt unseen, unheard, and misunderstood.

When I was diagnosed as autistic and ADHD, the pieces of my own story began to fall into place. My diagnosis brought huge relief - and just as much confusion. I finally understood why life had always felt so hard, but I still didn’t have the words to describe what I needed. Every time I tried, my stress response would take over, and I’d end up sounding “difficult” instead of simply different.

Through coaching and reflection, I learned to name my needs clearly, communicate them calmly, and build environments that actually worked for me. That clarity changed everything - and it’s what inspired me to create The Self-Advocacy Profile.

This free guide is for late-identified or self-identified autistic and ADHD adults who are tired of being misrepresented and ready to be understood. It’s your starting point for capturing what truly supports you - so you can share it with others, confidently and without apology.

My vision is simple: that no one should have to prove their needs to deserve support.
