And no...autism and neurodivergence are not suddenly “trends.” We are simply becoming better at recognising what has always been there, especially in women and high-masking adults who were missed for decades.
Late-diagnosed autistic author and keynote speaker Kathleen Schubert combines lived experience, humour, education, and practical strategies to help organisations create more inclusive and sensory-aware environments for neurodivergent people.
Expect honesty, practical insight and “aha” moments… and yes, assistance dog Willow may occasionally steal the spotlight.
Consulting Topics May Include:
✔ Autism in women & high-masking adults
✔ Neurodivergent workplace inclusion
✔ Sensory-friendly environments
✔ Communication accessibility
✔ Autistic burnout & overwhelm
✔ Inclusive healthcare experiences

Helping workplaces, schools, healthcare settings, and communities better understand the autistic and neurodivergent experience - beyond stereotypes

Kathleen provides lived-experience autism and neurodivergence consulting for workplaces, schools, healthcare clinics, wellness spaces, conferences, and organisations wanting to better support autistic and neurodivergent people.
Combining professional experience, lived experience, and practical education, Kathleen helps organisations move beyond awareness and toward meaningful inclusion.
