If you’ve been noticing the term more often and want to better understand what it is, and if it has wormed its way into your subconscious thinking.
What it'll do:
Learn what ableism and internalized ableism are, specifically in the context of an adult Autistic/ AuDHD/ neurodivergent life, with real life examples. And peek behind the curtain to see how you were trained to discriminate against yourself.
Learn how it breeds negative self-talk, brain fog, how it impacts socializing, work, rest, autistic burnout, etc.
Learn the 4 steps it takes to dismantle IA from your life.

Get in touch with your body without overwhelm. Gentle sensory awareness prompts.
-
Scope Intro
This is a gentle exploration, without assuming any comfort or skills in noticing body sensations.
-
Course length 90 Days
You get an email a day for 3 months.
-
Cost $15+
Pay what you choose, from $15+. (Suggested $20-$30.)
This is for you if:
If you’re looking for a way to figure out your own sensory needs, beyond earplugs and sunglasses, but aren’t sure what your sensory needs even are.
If you've been trained to ignore your internal signals in order to be safe or accepted or get along, and now you want more for yourself.
If you want to get better at knowing what’s going on inside your own body — maybe you’ve even heard about “interoception” — but don't know how.
What it'll do:
A series of daily prompts will teach you how to check in with a variety of sensory experiences that we tend to ignore on a daily basis. That our culture teaches us to ignore.
Gradually, over time, this noticing can subtly increase your own internal awareness at other times as well. And when you need something, and what.
And because you’re getting words for these experiences from the prompts, you may start describing what’s going on better, both to yourself and to others.
