Hi there! I’m Ana María- a 2E (gifted + autistic) linguist with a background in intercultural communication studies and civil rights work related to language access.

For 10+ years, I facilitated hundreds of conversations across language (and cultural) differences. I also trained communication facilitators (aka interpreters) of over 20+ languages, and designed language access systems inside organizations.

Today, I’m applying my expertise to a subject of deep personal relevance and interest- neurodivergent culture and communication.

Neurocultural is where I share my observations, theories, questions, and frameworks as I explore what it means to integrate our neurodivergence as a culture, and as I make the case for neurodivergent communication as intercultural communication.
