I wholeheartedly believe that every person, regardless of neurological differences, deserves to be fully heard, seen, and supported to live a fulfilling, authentic life on their own terms. As an adult on the spectrum, I’ve spent decades learning the unwritten rules of life, through the lens of an invisible disability — one that gives me a unique flavor when it comes to communication and processing information. I understand the need for strong advocacy.
My hobbies are drawing, watercolor, and building websites. For fun, I document my life by illustrating parenthood and family life and its authentic moments that aren’t easily capturable on camera. I’m a mom of one, with a little one on the way.
In January 2025, I stumbled upon a blog written by a neurodivergent mother and I ooh’d and ahh’d at the ways she communicates the autistic experience. My finger slipped while browsing the contact info, and I accidentally pressed her phone number instead of the Discord icon. So… I let it ring, and figured it would go to voicemail and I would just leave a message. But to my surprise, she answered! So, I awkwardly spoke…. “Uh — hi, is this Sam?… My name is Gigi… I’m also a mother with autism who enjoys drawing about the experience, […stammering…] and would you be interested in collaborating…?” and the rest is history…
My mission is to actively support autistic adults, teens, kids and babies alike.
I get what it’s like to feel excluded — like there’s some secret language that the others know. We deserve a community where our differences are seen not as deficits, but as essential parts of who we are.
All emotions and experiences are valid. It hurts to be told your reality is wrong. I believe in a world that lets you express yourself without apology or forced emotional suppression.
Masking is exhausting work. I dream of a world where you don’t have to spend all your energy conforming to societal norms.
Support should not be a privilege limited by your zip code, bank account, social class, or primary language.
