## Resource

Lumia CEO Noelle Cordeaux is joined by Mav Stoothoff, a Lumia graduate and neurodivergent coach who shares candidly about their autistic identity and experiences in the world, and what is needed for coaches to work effectively with people who are neurodivergent. The wide-ranging conversation ends with a call for more neurodivergent coaches to give support and coaching to the neurodivergent community. Listen in! My name is Mav (they/them/theirs). As a neurodivergent (ND) and queer person, I have lived experience that has inspired me to be the coach, mentor, and advocate that I would have wanted. I am passionate about supporting other ND people and their supportive partners to promote neurodiversity, inclusivity, and equity. When I started learning about and embracing my Autistic identity, passions, interests, and strengths, I created my foundation for authentic connections with others. I struggled a lot because I didn’t know who I was, why I was different, or how to get the support I needed. Now, my mission is to help other neurodivergent people and supportive people in their lives discover and explore their neurodivergent identity and navigate barriers to unlock limitless opportunities for success.
