Background

I work in neurodiversity as a writer and advocate. I'm a mother of two. I also work at a Camphill Community for adults with learning disabilities in Scotland; Loch Arthur. I'm active in the online neurodivergent and autistic community, mainly on the people-owned platform Mastodon, although I also have a presence on Facebook, Instagram, X-Twitter, and Bluesky. I publish my own articles on a wide variety of subjects including neurodiversity, autism, social justice, the nature of reality, and psychology, viewable on my web site, https://www.neurofabulous.org.uk, as full-text articles and/or links to my publisher's web site, https://uk.jkp.com/.
