ABOUT AMAZING BRAIN CONSULTING:

Amazing Brain Consulting was founded in 2021 by Dr. Jess Norris, neurodivergent speaker, author, and podcast host.

Our mission is to support neurodivergent children and their parents to help them reach their full potential, and ultimately change the way neurodiversity is perceived and experienced in the world’s workplaces.

ABOUT DR. JESS:

Writer of compelling content. Scientist.
Public speaker. Educator. Advocate.

I wear many hats.

But there is one hat that I never take off: Neurodivergent SuperMom.

My son, Steven, is part of the 2.3% of the US population that is autistic. The prevalence of autism has risen steadily since the CDC first started tracking it in 2000, and it is estimated that 20-40% of the population is neurodivergent. 

And yet, when Steven was diagnosed, I felt alone. Frustrated. Overwhelmed. 

Sound familiar?

As a parent of a neurodivergent or special needs child, it’s important to feel that
you are not alone.

I spent years learning how to navigate the journey of raising a neurodivergent child. I did tons of research – as a scientist, it’s what I am trained to do – to find the best ways to support Steven and provide him the tools he needed to achieve his potential, and even more importantly, support myself. During this time of discovery, I came to the realization that I am also neurodivergent

Because I am both a neurodivergent individual, as well as a parent to one,
I offer a unique perpective on neurodiversity.

I’ve been sharing my stories about parenting Steven (and his faithful sidekick/little sister, Olivia) through social media channels for a number of years – including the good, the not-so-good, and the often funny – and have received a tremendous response. Today, I continue to share my personal journey as a neurodivergent mom of a neurodivergent kid, while cultivating a supportive community for those who have a personal relationship with a neurodivergent individual.
