Ana María B. Call, MA
I'm a 2E (gifted + autistic) linguist, interculturalist, & former civil rights worker
I write and teach about integrating our neurodivergence as a culture, and about neurodivergent communication as intercultural communication.
I send articles and updates about twice per month- sign-up below to get new content in your inbox.
about my work
Many frameworks and language for the neurodivergent experience are created by (mostly neurotypical) people looking in. They describe what they observe, measure what diverges from the norm, and offer strategies for managing the gap.
My work begins somewhere different... it begins by learning to look and navigate from within, as (neuro)cultural beings.

“We cannot live securely in a world which is not our own, in a world which is interpreted for us by others.
An interpreted world is not a home.
Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to put our ears to our own inner voices, to see our own light, which is our birthright, and comes to us in silence."
