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.

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.

Don’t call me nice.
Women have spent generations being rewarded for being nice.
Nice enough to stay quiet.
Nice enough to smile.
Nice enough to avoid conflict.
Nice enough to swallow the truth.
Nice enough to keep everyone comfortable.
But here’s the problem.
When “nice” stops us from challenging harm…
When “nice” keeps us silent in the face of injustice…
When “nice” asks us to betray our own instincts…
Or to not stand by the person who is the easy target …
It isn’t a virtue anymore.
Sometimes the nicest person in the room is the one allowing harm to continue.
I’d rather be known for integrity.
Because integrity tells the truth.
Integrity sets boundaries.
Integrity protects the vulnerable.
Integrity can withstand disapproval.
If that means I’m not always nice…
I’m okay with that.
I love numbers .. but not for the reasons you may think. Mine isn’t about luck or superstition. It’s about how certain numbers simply feel.
21 is my all time favourite and every car journey throughout my life has been spent finding the coolest way to make 21 from the car reg - try it, it’s fun!
3 is my favourite number for lists, intentions, directions- any more I get overwhelmed any less, well what’s the point?!! Why bother?!
1 is my least favourite number. I don’t like feeling like number 1 or the competition to be number 1. 1 just screams pressure pressure pressure
8 is my go to when faced with options - number 8 is always good - I have always used this for song choices, short stories .. in games, quizzes, or random choices, 8 is my easy reliable default.
I’d love to know… do numbers have personalities for you too?
We are the generational circuit breakers …
Many (not all) of us can finally say what generations before us couldn’t
difference ⛔️ shame
Overwhelmed ⛔️ unwell
non conforming ⛔️ silenced
For generations, difference was something to hide, correct or fear.
Now, many of us have language that allows us to understand it instead.
That’s not just personal healing.
It’s generational redress.
Because we need more than being together online.

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?
