Christine Doyle is an educator, speaker, podcast host, and neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapist with 15 years’ experience specialising in the late-identified Autistic and AuDHD experience in women and AFAB adults.
Following her own late identification as AuDHD, Christine’s work increasingly shifted towards education, speaking, training, and identity integration, centring lived experience and nervous system understanding rather than deficit-based narratives.
Her work explores masking and burnout, sensory honesty, nervous system capacity, hormonal transitions, workplace inclusion, and the psychological impact of being missed in childhood.
Christine delivers speaking engagements, organisational training, webinars, and reflective educational spaces for individuals, professionals, and organisations.
She is the host of the Unlearning Autism podcast and founder of the Wild Women Community.

What my clients Say
Don't just take my word for it! Here is what some of my previous clients have to say about their work with me:
1-2-1 Work with Christine
These 1:1 offerings provide structured, reflective spaces for exploring neurodivergent identity, considering assessment, integrating late identification, or deepening understanding as someone supporting a neurodivergent adult.
Purchase my book
HormoneFULL, Not Hormonal is a narrative-led handbook exploring the impact of hormonal transitions on Autistic AFAB people across the lifespan. Grounded in the lived experiences of 101 Autistic AFAB adults, this book brings together verbatim reflections on puberty, menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause — stages that are often poorly understood, minimised, or misattributed within both medical and mental health settings.

This is why I keep creating.
My Unlearning Autism podcast.
My writing and resources.
My Wild Women Community space.
My After Knowing Course.
My Post-Identification Companion Sessions.
Not because I have the answers.
But because I know what it’s like to finally understand yourself…
And still find yourself saying,
“Yes… but…”
To feel grateful.
Relieved.
Certain.
And somehow uncertain too.
To wonder why something that explains so much can still leave you feeling on the edge of belonging.
Maybe some of us have been living in the middle ground all along.
And maybe what we need isn’t another identity.
But spaces spacious enough to hold the many ways there are to be Autistic.
Perhaps that’s what I’ve been trying to create all along.
Three years ago I discovered I’m AuDHD. I didn’t realise how much my life needed to change to allow me to breathe more easily. Identification was the start but integration is what I needed.
1. I used to live off ‘busy’, now I’m allergic. Early nights.
Sea swims. Walks. Less is definitely 100 times more.
2. I stopped asking “What’s wrong with me?” And started noticing: “What does my nervous system need?” My nervous system has become my guiding light.
3. I chose depth over numbers.
Fewer WhatsApp groups 😅
Fewer acquaintances, just a handful of people who feel like home 🥰
4. I trust myself more. I always knew how I experience the world is different to most. Now that I know why I have rebuilt self-trust.
Much less analysing, searching, outsourcing thanks be to God!!!
5. I stopped trying to fit into life.
I just let it go.
And started building a life that fits me.
What way has your life changed since identification?

I’m delighted to be back behind the microphone and recording Season 2 of the Unlearning Autism podcast.
And in our break between seasons, something totally unexpected has happened … our podcast has continued to grow.
We have now reached over 6,000 downloads, with a regular audience of 2,000 listeners 🥳🩷🤸♀️
Thank you to everyone who has listened, shared episodes, recommended the podcast to others, and helped build this community. It means more than you know.
I’m also delighted to welcome @shopotavo as sponsor for the first three episodes of Season 2.
As we continues to record new amazing episodes, I would love to connect with businesses, brands and organisations who would like to be part of Unlearning Autism.
Whether your work directly supports neurodivergent people, or you simply value thoughtful conversations and would like your business to be associated with this growing community, I’d love to hear from you.
Season 2 will be with you soon 🥳🥳🥳
I’ll keep you posted,

My instinct is always to apologise.
Not because I’m always wrong.
But because if you are in pain, it’s important to me that I acknowledge any part I may have played in that.
Not because I intended it. That’s not the point. Simply because your pain matters to me.
And over time I’ve realised that this says less about guilt, and more about connection. Because I feel safest with people who meet me there too. I don’t care that we had a misunderstanding, I care that we can meet each others pain without ego.
Shame is a sneaky fecker. Love this quote from Wayne Dyer.
Do you ever feel that it’s not that you were ever ‘too much’ but that often words are not nearly enough?
Understanding yourself is just the beginning … making sense of it all comes next.
I feel like I keep saying I don’t do this, I don’t do that .. and left scratching my head thinking how do I define what I do?!!
I tried to adjust therapy to be neuro-affirming but then I decided to turn it around … to just start with the late-identified person and think “what do they want” or more clearly “what did I need?”
Whilst I continue to draw on 15 years of professional experience, my focus today is not on helping people analyse themselves more deeply but on offering space for people to understand themselves more fully.
My work supports late-identified Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults in making sense of who they are, how they arrived here, and how they might begin building a life that fits more comfortably and authentically.
I help people find language for experiences they have often carried alone for years.
I help people understand their nervous systems, recognise patterns that suddenly make sense through a neurodiversity-affirming lens, and connect with others who share similar experiences.
I believe understanding, language, community and connection can be profoundly powerful.
This work currently takes place through:
• The Unlearning Autism Podcast
• Speaking & Training
• Companion Sessions (a structured 4-session 1:1 integration process)
• AFTER KNOWING (a 3-day online integration space)
• Resources, guides and community spaces
Different people are seeking different levels of support at different stages of their journey.
But at the heart of all of my work is the same intention:
To offer space for people better understand themselves and make sense of what comes next.
Not therapy. Not anymore. Just me.
