Helen Edgar (Autistic Realms)

I am late-identified AuDHD (Autistic, ADHD). I work as a neuro-affirmative advocate for Autistic and otherwise disabled people, I am a published writer and education consultant.

I am a parent to two neurodivergent children. I worked for over 20 years in Early Years and SEND settings specialising in supporting children with profound and multiple learning disabilities.

In 2022, I founded Autistic Realms, a platform offering neurodiversity-affirming resources, training, and consultancy.
My work is rooted in the Neurodiversity Paradigm.
My special interests lie in the theory of monotropism, burnout, barriers to education and ways to support Autistic people’s well-being.

My other roles include:
Thriving Autistic: Community and Communications Lead
Stimpunks: Co-Creative Director
GROVE Neurodivergent Mentoring and Education: Training and Resource Specialist
Monotropism.org: Supporting Fergus Murray with reviewing and collating research, community work and website updates
Spectrum Gaming: Volunteer for Barriers to Education Project & Autism Understood – focusing on Autistic Burnout
PANS/PANDAS Charity UK: Volunteer work
