Helping neurodivergent adults navigate the world with integrity, instead of exhaustion

For high-masking gifted, autistic, ADHD, and 2E adults ready to integrate their neurodivergence as a culture, and become more confident, skillful communicators.

Hi, I’m Ana María

I'm a communication scholar with an MA in sociolinguistics, and over a decade of experience as a professional interpreter, translator, and designer of language access systems.

I've spent my career studying how language works across cultures, and when I turn that lens to neurodivergent communication, I see sophisticated patterns where the medical model sees deficits.

As an autistic and gifted person who learned English in school and navigated years of cross-cultural professional work, I understand both the theory and the lived experience of operating between different communication systems. I see the logic, patterns, and purpose behind neurodivergent culture and communication.

MY BODY OF WORK CENTERS AROUND:

  • Mapping the neurocultural landscape

    I’m defining six regions of the neurodivergent cultural experience, and helping people create a vibrant home for their divergent identities… OUTSIDE of the medical model.

    Make It

  • Reclaiming communication sovereignty

    I teach the frameworks behind cross-neurotype communication (as intercultural communication), so neurodivergent people can grow beyond masking and become skillful communicators.

    COMING SOON!

Who this is for

This work is for neurodivergent adults- gifted, autistic, ADHD- who experience intensity across sensory, emotional, intellectual, imaginational, or psychomotor domains.

This work might be for you if you...

  • Have rich insights but doubt your own perception

  • Feel exhausted from constant performance and the inconsistent results of masking

  • Crave a connection to a deeper, more empowering story about your differences

"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."
