Welcome to Authentically Autistic!
I am Jac, a 39 year old Autistic/ADHD female who loves horses, wolves, reading and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I am a teacher of 15 years in the primary sector, but after hitting autistic burnout, and being diganosed with a mental health condition I needed to take a step back and rest.
I needed to find a new passion that was sustainable and nourished my autistic self, after many years of masking. I wanted to help other autistic individuals across the lifespan, as well as their support people.
I currently work as a Program Designer, Trainer & Coach for Empower Autism.
My Qualifications include:
Bachelor of Education (Primary) - Griffith University (2007)
Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies - Griffith University (2022)
Masters of Autism - Griffith University - Currently enrolled
