Kathleen: Not Your (Neuro)typical Gal
Kathleen has over a decade of naturopathic experience and is an active mentor to naturopathic practitioners, guest presenter, and writer who has helped thousands of people worldwide, but she isn’t your ‘neurotypical’ gal. She was diagnosed in midlife with autism and speaks out on the gender inequities in autism in women, which lead to failure to diagnose/misdiagnosis.
She shares her journey in her bold new autism book, U Don’t Seem Autistic. She shares her personal story from misdiagnosis to mid-life diagnosis. This is a story of empowerment by the discovery of female autism at last! By sharing pitfalls she has experienced up to mid-life and their relationship to autism, she hopes to help others seek a diagnosis. She shares her tips for those questioning if they are on the spectrum, working with an assistance/service dog, and provides solutions for how to make educational, medical, and workplaces inclusive for neurodiverse/autistic people.
neurodiversity
[noor-oh-di-vur-si-tee] noun
The inclusion in a group, organisation, etc. of people with different types of brain functioning
Share insights on why women for decades have been missed by the traditional statistics on autism worldwide and how Kathleen's story can help those on the spectrum (or wondering if they are).
It is likely that neurodivergence is around you, but you may just not know it… yet! Learn about collaborating with and accommodating autistic people with a fun, informative talk.
Kathleen & her assistance dog Willow come to you in-person or online.
