Ben Holmes
Founder of Autism and Neurodiversity Coaching
I am a fully qualified Autism practitioner with the following qualifications:
Level 5: Diploma in Autism Awareness for Managers and Practitioners
Level 3: Diploma in Autism Awareness
Level 1: Understanding Autism
Understanding Autism, Asperger's, and ADHD
I have firsthand experience of being autistic and neurodiverse. As well as being autistic, I also have ADHD, Dyspraxia, OCD, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Depression.
What this means is that I instinctively understand how it feels to be affected by these disorders, disabilities, and different brain wiring, both in positive and negative ways.
Since finding out that I have these conditions, I have extensively studied the intricacies of how they work and how they affect the human mind and body.
Due to being autistic myself, I can offer true autistic authenticity as I can draw on my real-life experience of having neurodiverse conditions. I have worked with multiple different backgrounds with a diverse range of people, so I can display a unique set of skills and talk about a vast amount of experiences.
As I didn't know I had any of these brain differences until my 20s, this has given me a unique experience of being neurodiverse and living in a neurotypical world.
My goal is to create autism acceptance and educate others on what autism and Neurodiversity means.
