8 Days Until We Re-Story Autism

David Gray-Hammond — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 09:01:02 GMT

When Helen and I set out to write Re-Storying Autism I had just had an idea of building on the six-point framework i had developed over my ten years of being active in the Autistic community.

What we didn’t realise was that we were embarking on a journey of hundreds of hours that we create a workbook with a print length of nearly 400 pages (and a kindle …

I Didn’t Make These to Go Viral. I Made Them to Be Used.

David Gray-Hammond — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 16:06:47 GMT

There’s a strange myth that meaningful resources just appear.

That guides fall from the sky.

That frameworks assemble themselves.

That language for survival, recovery, identity, and wellbeing simply… arrives.

The truth is messier and much more human.

Over the past few years, I’ve poured hundreds of hours into creating practical, grounded resources for Autist…

December Autism & Neurodiversity Resources Update

David Gray-Hammond — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 13:48:08 GMT

December always feels like a soft exhale after a long year, a moment where the threads of community, creativity, and survival wrap themselves around us a little tighter. This month has been no exception. NeuroHub continues to grow into the vibrant learning space we imagined, and I’m endlessly grateful for everyone who has stepped into it with curiosity …

Supporting Autistic People

David Gray-Hammond — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 18:30:52 GMT

It’s easy for me to forget how long I have been an active member of the Autistic community. Years blend together, meaning that I lose sight of the 8 years I have spent growing my experience and knowledge in what the wider world would reductively call “autism support”.

I talk a lot about neurodivergence competence and how neuro-affirming approaches are no…

Supporting Autistic People: A Six-Point Framework

David Gray-Hammond — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 09:44:43 GMT

Supporting Autistic people is not about fixing behaviour. It’s about understanding a whole different way of being in the world. Autism is sensory, relational, cultural, political, and deeply interconnected with the environments we live in.

This framework brings together six foundations that help anyone, families, partners, educators, support workers, and…

Reconnecting With My Neurokin

David Gray-Hammond — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 14:34:52 GMT

There’s a particular electricity in the air at this time of year; that feeling that the world is shifting under our feet, and we’re trying to step with intention rather than be swept off course. I’ve been thinking a lot about community, connection, and the ways we return to ourselves when the world feels too fast, too sharp, too hungry for versions of u…

What Is Monotropic Split?

David Gray-Hammond — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 12:21:05 GMT

Monotropism doesn't mean we can only focus on one thing at a time.

It means that our brain prefers to engage in deep attention to fewer points of interest.

For example, our minds are wired to deepdive on topics and activities that interest us, and relinquish attention to external factors.

It allows us to specialise in topics, but means that transitioning b…

Autistic Pain Differences

David Gray-Hammond — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 12:27:57 GMT

Autistic people often live in bodies that speak a different language, one that healthcare systems rarely bother to learn. Pain, perhaps the most fundamental signal of distress the body can send, is one of the most deeply misunderstood aspects of Autistic experience. For many of us, the way we feel, interpret, and express pain doesn’t align with what pro…

Free Autism and Neurodiversity Resources

David Gray-Hammond — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:47:13 GMT

In my work at DGH Neurodivergent Consultancy, I’ve always believed that access to knowledge should be a fundamental human right. True change comes when understanding is shared; when professionals, educators, families, and neurodivergent people can all draw from the same well of informed, Autistic-led insight.

That’s why I’ve brought together a new Autism…

I’m proud to announce the Autistic Substance Use Network (ASUN) a community created to connect autistic people with lived experience of substance use, build knowledge, and drive change in a field that has long misunderstood us.

As an Autistic professional and co-founder of this network, I’ve seen how easily Autistic people are excluded or harmed by tradi…
