As an autistic adult, I share my experiences to build understanding, inclusion, & a sense of belonging for neurodivergent families like mine.

BEING REAL ABOUT THE ADULT-DIAGNOSED AUTISM EXPERIENCE

BEING REAL ABOUT THE ADULT-DIAGNOSED AUTISM EXPERIENCE

You’re here because you want real stories, real support, and a life that actually fits your neurodivergent brain and your family.

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU’RE SPENDING HOURS…

  • Trying to figure out neurodivergence on your own because no one ever explained it in a way that made sense

  • Googling symptoms, burnout, masking, sensory needs while still feeling unseen

  • Navigating parenting, homeschooling, or daily life while feeling overwhelmed by systems that weren’t built for you or your family

  • Searching for community, honesty, and language that finally helps make everything click

Let me give you a loving piece of truth, friend:

You are not alone, and you’re not “too much.” You just deserve spaces, and people, who understand how your brain really works.

THAT’S WHY I CREATED

SUZY ON THE SPECTRUM

I’m here to share my autistic story, raise awareness, advocate for inclusive experiences, and help neurodivergent families feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

Whether you’re figuring out your own identity, parenting neurodivergent kids, trying to unmask, or simply craving honesty and connection —
you’re in the right place.

Why Care?

Because understanding autistic adults, including autistic parents, has the potential to make a positive difference. It changes how we support families, how we design programs, and how we show up for the people we love.

My family’s story is just one example, but it reflects what so many of us quietly live with every day. When we pay attention to real lived experiences, we build communities and systems that actually work for real people.

& that’s why I share all of this.
