Hi, I'm Ana María. I'm a 2E (gifted + autistic) linguist, interculturalist, and creative.
I teach an intercultural approach to neurodivergent communication, and help gifted, autistic, and 2E adults create a vibrant home for their neurodivergent identity, OUTSIDE of the medical model.
Homepage quote

"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." - Attribution

FAQ's
Is this about teaching people how to mask better?
No. Masking is a helpful and necessary tool at times, and we all have the right to use it when needed. That said, masking is NOT a communication skill. I teach you to develop a communication practice, informed by linguistics and intercultural communication, that helps you better navigate and negotiate the invisible, implicit dimensions of communication, especially when those dimensions directly impact your neurodivergent needs. You can be skillful at being different- that's what my work is about.
