Hello! My name is Sarah-Jane McGarry - Trainer
I have a deep passion for understanding and supporting individuals with autism and ADHD. My journey began nearly 20 years ago when my son was diagnosed with ADD. I delved into research but found that traditional criteria didn't fully capture who he was. As the internet entered households, I discovered a link between autism and ADHD, which resonated much more with my son's experiences.
Driven by the desire to learn more, I embarked on years of self-education, earning multiple diplomas in understanding autism, ADHD, and their related conditions.
My quest for knowledge led me to Birmingham University, where I pursued formal studies in autism. During my application process, I disclosed my academic struggles, leading to a diagnosis of Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD). With dedicated support, including a one-on-one tutor and specialised software, I achieved a distinction in my studies.
When the pandemic struck and we entered lockdown, I channeled my expertise into a YouTube channel, creating educational videos on autism and ADHD. Over the past two years, I've reached a large audience through online presentations hosted on platforms like Eventbrite.
Now, I'm transitioning from the digital space to the community, determined to make a tangible impact by helping families better understand autism and ADHD. I'm excited to continue this journey and contribute to creating more awareness and support for individuals and families navigating these conditions. Let's work together to build a more inclusive and understanding world!
