About Thriving with Neurodiversity

Hi I'm Amanda

Founder and lead consultant of Thriving with Neurodiversity. I combine my passion, lived experience and a 20+ year career in change and engagement to raise awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity with individuals, teams and businesses.  

My vision is to create a future where my two neurodivergent teenagers can thrive, and this is where the idea for Thriving with Neurodiversity began. 

Difference does not = defecit.

Being neurodivergent is simply a different way to view, process and understand the world. There is no one correct way.

Receiving my ADHD diagnosis a week before my 46th birthday was the most amazing and oddly, traumatic day of my life. The rewards have been endless.
