Hi there, my name is Sam and I've been making content about autism and neurodiversity since 2019, with a goal to help more people understand their autistic and ADHD brains. I'm a late-diagnosed AuDHDer myself, having struggled my way through life for decades before I understood WHY everything was so hard all the time. I'm the author of "So You Think You're Autistic", a workbook for people to better understand their autistic traits, especially around the time of diagnosis or self-identification. In addition to my YouTube content, I: 💡 Mentor and support neurodivergent entrepreneurs with business strategy and personal growth ⛺️ Organize retreats for ND business owners to recharge, connect, and find inspiration
