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.

What my clients Say
Don't just take my word for it! Here is what some of my previous clients have to say about their work with me:
1-2-1 Work with Christine
These 1:1 offerings provide structured, reflective spaces for exploring neurodivergent identity, considering assessment, integrating late identification, or deepening understanding as someone supporting a neurodivergent adult.
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’ve posted for years about why people have not seen us, what we need to unlearn, what it actually is to be Autistic … and I’ve loved it … mostly …. but I’m over being serious… cos even in that it feels somehow apologetic and deficit based … whereas the reality is that a lot of my true unfiltered unpolished imperfect Autistic experience is childlike, colourful, jumpy, snort-teary giggly and that’s what I’ve been teetering on this summer in the sea and in the sun.
Becoming truly neuro-affirming for me, now, is loving what being Autistic is for me. And I’ll be sharing that … I want to enjoy myself more … and I hope you’ll enjoy it ... and stick around for the fun and the colour … because neurodivergence was never meant to be all about struggle, but actually to help us find a way to be free.
It started with clothes on Vinted
And then I kept clearing
My phone
My notes app (127 reflections - gone!)
My offerings
My ideas
Keeping only what brings me joy
Letting go of what I’ve outgrown
If it’s serious, explaining, or heavy - OUT
I’m making room and I have a feeling things are about to get a little more colourful around here
I’ve one life
A short one
Getting shorter 😅
So let’s go!
Is there any greater privilege
than to have nothing to do
but swim and walk the dog?
And have a coffee in the garden
With the dogs at your feet
And a delicious read in your hands
As the sun shines bright
for yet another day
To walk along the street
happy to see whoever you see
And stop and say hello, maybe a hug
And yes we will catch up really soon
And walk away smiling with that positive energy glistening in your soul?
Is there any greater privilege
than to wake with those you love
And appreciate the deep knowledge
of their love and their ease?
Their steadiness and their security?
And to appreciate the hand you played in that
And the deep healing their love gave you
and rest
and be proud?
Is there a greater privilege than to stop and not rush because, right now, all is ok?
There’s nothing to be done
But take note and smile
Is there a greater privilege
than to know all of this …
and to know that all of this ..
is all you need.
And so you stop and breathe it in
Because this is all there is
And this, well, it’s everything
Share your greater privilege in the comments ….
Hey just so you know being super choosy with who you spend time with, curating your circle based solely on how you feel around people, giving up chasing breadcrumbs from people who do t see you can literally change your life … maybe even save it
… oh and thousands in therapy
AuDHD and late-identification
In my opinion so many of us were overlooked BECAUSE we are both
Starting point
Waterford - Dungarvan
Beautiful scenery
And quaint stops
First pit stop after 18km
A day for an iced coffee if ever there was one!
Runners started to disintegrate
Never a dull moment with my 🩷
She held my hand through here 😱
And we ogled at views of our beautiful landscape
‘Let’s walk a marathon’ she said
Pints in the sun!
Well earned - we licked our plates!
Autistic traits are human traits.
We all lose our keys.
We all get overwhelmed sometimes.
We all have routines we like.
We all have interests we’re passionate about.
We all misread people occasionally.
Sharing a trait doesn’t mean sharing a neurotype.
Liking a run doesn’t make you an Olympian.
Enjoying a song doesn’t make you a musician.
Being organised doesn’t mean you have OCD.
And recognising yourself in some Autistic traits doesn’t make you “a little bit Autistic.”
Being Autistic isn’t one trait.
It’s a pattern of traits, experienced together, in ways that shape how a person experiences the world.
That’s why saying, “We’re all a little bit Autistic,” misses the point entirely.
And causes offence to many who are all too familiar with the feeling of their experience of the world being misunderstood, doubted or denied.
