Hi - I'm Alison

A Family Dynamics & Neurodiversity Strategist, and the heart behind Our Neurodiverse Family.

If you’ve found yourself saying “Oh Gosh, Now what?!” more times than you can count… you’re in the right place.

I support parents who are navigating the layered, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming world of raising neurodiverse kids—children with ADHD, autism, twice-exceptionality, and everything in between. Families like yours, who love fiercely but are also exhausted, wondering if it’s always going to feel this hard.

I bring over 20 years of experience in neurodiversity, education, and family support—but more importantly, I bring lived experience. I get what it’s like to be neurodiverse, married to a neurodiverse husband and have 4 neurodiverse kids and also, to feel burnt out, misunderstood, and like you’re constantly “figuring it out” without a roadmap.

That’s where I come in. My role is to walk alongside you—never ahead of you—with practical, compassionate strategies to help your family:

•  Build connection (even in the chaos)
• Support emotional regulation and behaviour
• Understand and embrace neurodiversity
• Improve communication and resilience
• And rediscover calm in the everyday
  
  

At Our Neurodiverse Family, I believe in sustainable, honest change. No quick fixes. No judgment. Just real conversations, doable shifts, and heartfelt support for the families doing their best with what they’ve got.

When I’m not working with families, you’ll usually find me with a book in hand, sipping hot chocolate on the verandah watching the clouds roll in. And yes—there’s a mountain of dishes and washing, and I still think those ordinary moments are where connection is built.

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out on your own anymore.

Let’s find your family’s version of calm, connection, and authenticity—together.
