About Danielle Sullivan

I’m Danielle Sullivan, an autistic life coach and mom of two neurodivergent kids living in Colorado.

I run my own podcast, Neurodiverging. My mission there is to help neurodiverse folks find the resources they need to live better lives as individuals, and to further disability awareness and social justice efforts to improve all of our lives as part of the larger world community.

I would love to be your podcast guest!

- common myths about neurodiversity
- how autism is portrayed in various films, television, and books
- how to improve inclusivity and diversity efforts for autistic folks
- the disability of being autistic in a world not designed for me
- raising children who are not neurotypical
- not being diagnosed until I was in my 30s

Parenting: I have experience:

- coaching parents in collaborative parenting/collaborative problem-solving approaches
- coaching gentle parenting approaches
- parenting neurodiverse kids (autistic and ADHD)
- living and co-parenting with an ADHD partner
- creating householding systems that work for different brains

Education: I have my MA in Religious Studies/ Women and Gender Studies and would love to geek out with you about:

- human rights
- women's rights
