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.

I went to my first concert in 31 years.
For years I thought I just wasn’t a concert person. The rush, the crowds, the mess, the LOOS, the everything .. no thanks!
So when my friend bought me the ticket for Christmas I didn’t know what I would do.
The first thing she said was,
“Come if you want… but absolutely no pressure.”
That one sentence made all the difference.
We did the day our way. We planned and laughed about all the things we could actually do to make this happen. We drove, stopped for dinner first, wore comfy clothes, arrived after the crowds had gone in, and left before everyone piled out. She even managed to get us circle tickets which meant less crowds and loads of room!! We missed the encore… and honestly, neither of us cared. We were smug, delighted with ourselves for escaping the frenzy.
Years ago I’d have thought doing it like that was cheating somehow.
Now I realise it was exactly what made it possible.
It’s funny how one person who doesn’t make your needs a problem but instead invites them and you wholeheartedly, can open up a whole world you thought wasn’t for you.
And the loos were spotless ✨
Looking back, I’ve been stimming in the sea my whole life. I just didn’t know it had a name.
Now that I do, I’m back enjoying myself sooooo much!!
There’s something really freeing about not fighting what my body has always loved.
I’m having so much fun letting myself jump the waves, laugh out loud and just… be.
It turns out there was a lot of joy hiding underneath all that effort to fit in.

Let’s build a life that is ours where we can breathe, and work, and dance, and be
I don’t want to do more.
But I hate feeling left out.
Living life my way in a world that often feels so fast means I opt out of a lot. And while opting out is far kinder to my nervous system than pushing through, it comes with a cost.
Sometimes it feels like trying to be part of a team when you can only make the occasional training session. Inevitably, life moves on. Conversations continue. Memories are made. People grow closer.
Not because anyone meant to leave you behind.
Just because the world keeps spinning.
I sometimes dream of a world where life moved a little closer to my pace. Where we all did less, expected less, and no one had to keep up to belong.
A world where showing up occasionally was enough.
A world where being yourself didn’t mean being left behind.
I adore my deeply curious forever wondering pattern seeking truth yearning neurodivergent mind. I am deeply proud of who I am and love love love meeting others like me.
