Expressive Arts Therapist/Author/Illustrator
I'm a neurodivergent art therapist (ATR-BC, REAT) who specializes in late-identified autism and ADHD. I'm happy to discuss what I do, how I learned I'm autistic/ADHD, and how to use art therapy to process and integrate self-understanding and self-growth.
In addition to being a therapist, I'm a writer and illustrator who makes illustrated books about the psychological topics that interest me. I've written/illustrated six books: Grief is a Mess, Making it Through Chemotherapy, Therapy Private Practice, Life as a Late-Identified Autistic, Dunkel the Vegetarian Dino, and What is Autism?. I also write/illustrate daily on Medium (https://medium.com/@jackieschuld)
