About the Author

Jaime A. Heidel is a late-diagnosed autistic/ADHD writer, communication translator, and consultant. She creates thought-provoking social media content that validates the autistic experience while translating the oft-misunderstood intentions behind autistic communication and behavior to the neurotypical reader. Her primary goal is to reduce the traumatizing experience of lifelong misunderstandings, so the next generation of autistics can grow up in a world that appreciates, validates, and accommodates their neurotype instead of trying to change it. When she's not creating content, Jaime enjoys reading, watching her favorite shows and movies, and playing The Sims.
