Remote Support for Autistic Young People
Education Consultant
Education Consultant
At Start The Puzzle, I primarily offer remote services, providing flexible and accessible support for parents, schools, and young people from the comfort of their own homes. I also offer select in-person services. This remote approach ensures families and educators can access expert autism support at their convenience, removing geographical barriers while making guidance more readily available.
I understand that the puzzle piece symbol has been debated within the autistic community, with concerns that it may imply something is missing or incomplete about neurodivergent individuals. I want to be clear—this is not what I believe.
For me, Start the Puzzle represents supporting a journey—a journey of understanding for both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals. Every person—autistic or otherwise—is whole, valuable, and worthy. Neurodivergence is not something that needs to be “fixed” or “completed.” My approach is about empowerment, respect, and celebrating differences.
To reflect this, I have incorporated a gold infinity symbol into my logo. Gold represents value, strength, and recognition, aligning with the idea that neurodivergent individuals are not just accepted but truly appreciated. The infinity symbol, widely embraced by the autistic community, signifies the diversity of experiences and the limitless potential of every individual.
By placing the infinity symbol at the forefront, I emphasize progress, growth, and self-acceptance while acknowledging the history and concerns surrounding autism representation. My goal is to provide meaningful support that honours each person’s unique journey.
