What makes this different:
A lot of people talk about neurodivergence, but few people have the clinical credentials, the lived experience, and the communication skills to make that conversation land for a room full of professionals, or a room full of people who are hearing this for the first time.
Crystal brings all three. She doesn't talk about the neurodivergent experience from a distance. She is AuDHD, she received her own diagnoses as an adult and she built a clinical practice around exactly this population. And she's been doing the work of making complex neuroscience and clinical concepts accessible for years, all without dumbing any of it down.
What Crystal speaks about:
Each talk is available as a keynote, breakout session, workshop, or CEU-eligible training. All talks can be adapted for length (45 min, 60 min, 90 min, half-day) and audience.
The Late Identification Pipeline: What Autism + ADHD Actually Look Like in Adults
Best for: Mental health professionals, educators, HR/DEI teams, general public audiences
Most people still picture autism and ADHD as they present in children, specifically, cisgendered, white boys. The reality is that millions of adults, particularly people assigned-female-at-birth and people of color, have spent their entire lives being misdiagnosed, overlooked, or told they were too sensitive, too anxious, or not trying hard enough. This talk unpacks the clinical and social reasons late identification happens, what it looks like in practice, and what it means for the people living it.
AuDHD Burnout: Why It Hits Different
Best for: Mental health professionals, corporate wellness and ERG audiences, AuDHD communities
AuDHD burnout is physiologically and experientially distinct from general burnout — and treating it the same way leads to the same cycle of collapse and recovery that keeps neurodivergent people stuck. This talk breaks down the neuroscience of AuDHD burnout, the role of masking and chronic demand exposure, and what sustainable recovery actually requires for a brain like this.
Unmasking in Adulthood: Identity, Grief, and Reclamation After Late Diagnosis
Best for: Mental health professionals, late-identified ND communities, diversity and inclusion audiences
Late identification is not just a clinical event — it's an identity rupture. The process of unmasking, understanding years of compensatory behavior, and building an authentic self after decades of performing neurotypicality is complex, nonlinear, and often underestimated by the clinicians supporting it. This talk addresses the psychological landscape of late identification and what genuinely neuroaffirming support looks like in practice.
Roll for Insight: Therapeutic Gaming and D&D as a Clinical Tool
Best for: Mental health professionals, school counselors, creative arts therapists, clinical supervisors
Tabletop role-playing games — particularly Dungeons & Dragons — offer something genuinely unique as a therapeutic modality: a structured imaginative space where clients can explore identity, practice social cognition, regulate emotion, and process experience through narrative at a safe distance. This talk introduces the evidence base, the clinical applications, and the practical considerations for therapists interested in therapeutic gaming.
The Overwhelmed Parent to ND Diagnosis Pipeline
Best for: Pediatricians, school psychologists, mental health clinicians, parent advocates
There's a recognizable pattern in clinical work: a parent brings a child in for evaluation and somewhere in that process, realizes they are describing their own experience. This talk examines the clinical and systemic dynamics of the parent-to-diagnosis pipeline — how to recognize it, how to support both the child and the newly-identifying parent, and how to avoid the common mistake of treating them as separate issues.
