training & events about neurodiversity

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, Whether you've been here a while or you're here because you just learned How To Be a Neurodiversity Affirming Play Therapist, I'm excited to send a quick update on offerings to you today! The fires here in Washington have kicked up some new health challenges for me, so I'm trying to lay low and stay indoors until things clear up. Some areas- like Spokane- have been absolutely devastated (over 800 homes and buildings lost) and I...

(And, if we're being honest, many of us ADHDers...

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, I'll keep it short and sweet today! There are going to be a few chances to spend time learning with me (live) this month and in May. I'd love to see and chat with you! I'll be presenting virtually about: 💚 Supporting Asexuality-Spectrum Kinky Autistic Clients on 3/20 from 12-1pm PST (a Bite Sized CE that comes with a workbook & resources) 🖤 Ethics in Roles & Boundaries (Washington state folks know about this new training requirement!)...

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, First of all, hello! This year is off to a rough start for many and I've been uncertain about what to write or offer, but I wanted to touch base. For Black History Month, I'm wondering if anyone would join me in donating to Rainbow in Black? It's a 501(c)3 whose staff support Black trans youth and their families all over the nation. Statistically, this decreases risk factors for these youth and increases their chances of being happy...

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, I am so excited that you've signed up for Mothmail and that this is in your inbox! Thank you, truly, for your continued support.

Earlier this month, I helped lead the Autistic Clinical Insights symposium and it was so cool...
