About

I am the owner and sole operator of The Autistic Innovator.Like many of us, I didn’t know I was autistic until I was 35 years old. We all know what happens with a late-in-life diagnosis - we spend a lifetime wondering what is wrong with us.Eight months after I was informally diagnosed, I launched The Autistic Innovator and began a journey that started as an autism blog and now includes two e-commerce stores, a book, and an audiobook.What’s driven me from the very beginning is a desire to encourage entrepreneurship in autistic adults - it’s one of my great passions in life.
