Spectrum Sloth
Nominee Profile
Location: Northallerton
Hi! I’m Julie, and I’m a 49 year old late-diagnosed autistic woman. I live in North Yorkshire with my 2 children, my husband and my 2 cats, and we are all neurodivergent!
I started my page on Facebook, Spectrum Sloth, a couple of years ago when I had just received my autism diagnosis, as a way to process it, because it was so life changing! However, what started as me just having somewhere to write down all of my thoughts (and there were many!) has turned into a beautiful community of like-minded souls.
I love to share my passions and interests, to talk about my day-to-day life, as well as making resources about important subjects such as ARFID, school anxiety & Home Education, mental health…..and not forgetting Geoff the Cat who is becoming a bit of a star in his own right.
At the heart of my page is kindness, and I try to approach everything with an open mind, a big dollop of empathy, and a hope of others sharing their knowledge and experiences - so that we all feel a little less alone, and a little more seen, valued and understood.
