"I'm so glad I came across this course. I follow Devany on Substack and I love her writing. I self diagnosed in 2023 and have found this course to be everything I needed to get on a better path. This subject matter isn't easy but it's very kindly and thoughtfully laid out. I love how she ends the course with autistic joy. So important. Thank you for this, I will cherish it for a long time!" ~ Penny
"This course came at the right time. It's so supportive and in-depth. Devany has really gone above and beyond with compiling all of this together. Highly recommend!" ~ Laurie P.
"My child is autistic and an amazing artist. You've shown me that she'll come out of her shell and start expressing her art at her time. Seeing you be great helps me feel better about all of her greatness that's soon to unfold. Thank you!" ~ Fern
new course offering
If you have recently been diagnosed as autistic or suspect you may fall somewhere on the spectrum, this course offers a thorough explanation of the autistic mind, body and spirit that is deeply supportive. Instead of approaching the subject from an overly medicalized, pathologized standpoint, this course was written from the perspective of a late-diagnosed autistic woman who has spent the last 3 years immersed in researching this beautiful - but misunderstood - neurotype.
Here you will find insight and explanations into everything you could possibly want to know about autism:
-
the history of autism
-
a 165-point autism traits list
-
how our brains work
-
what it's like having a highly sensitive nervous system
-
why self-diagnosis is valid
-
impact of late diagnosis on mental health, physical health, employment and relationships
-
navigating autistic burnout
-
overcoming internalized ableism
-
what is autistic masking
-
unmasking tips
-
dealing with post-diagnosis emotions and identity crises
-
how to advocate for yourself and have your needs met
-
soothing sensory issues
-
emotional regulation tips
-
how to build a sensory cave
-
finding autistic joy
...and SO much more.
My aim with this course is to supply you with all of the information you could ever need or want about your beautiful brain, so that you can love yourself exactly as you are - no ifs, ands or buts. Knowledge is power, and so is dispelling misinformation. We need to gently undo some internal narratives in order to make room for new ones. And we certainly focus on finding autistic joy so that we can feel fully embraced in this identity, and hopefully overcome some of the pain this life has caused us.
