Ben Holmes

Ben Holmes is the founder of Autism & Neurodiversity Coaching and a qualified autism practitioner dedicated to advancing autism acceptance and neurodiversity inclusion.

Diagnosed as autistic in adulthood, Ben brings together professional expertise, lived experience, and a deep understanding of the realities of navigating a predominantly neurotypical world. Alongside autism, he has diagnoses of ADHD, Dyspraxia, OCD, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Depression. This combination of personal and professional insight enables him to provide authentic, practical, and strengths-based support to the individuals, families, and organisations he works with.

Following his diagnosis, Ben committed himself to developing a comprehensive understanding of autism and neurodiversity, studying how different neurotypes influence thinking, behaviour, communication, wellbeing, and everyday life. His mission is to help create a more accepting and informed society by educating others about what autism and neurodiversity truly mean, while empowering neurodivergent people to recognise and build upon their strengths.
