Joy Diving Australia: Neurodivergent Belonging

Joy Diving Australia: Neurodivergent Belonging Neurodivergent-affirming coaching, education and workplace consulting. Building equity, safety and belonging. Director: Sarah Eagle, AuDHD. Sar

I've been giving public talks for over 20 years, for large corporations, universities, schools, NGOs, community groups and government agencies across Australia. My talks are easily tailored to the needs of what is required. To make a booking please visit my website: www.joydiving.com.au

For those who don't know my story, prior to 2001 I was the sibling of someone living with mental illness. Sadly

, my brother Ben went missing during his final psychotic episode. Since his death, I have been walking, cycling and learning- so that I can assist in raising awareness and reducing stigma of mental health issues across Australia. My brother's death lead me to complete a Bachelor of Honours in Psychology, alongside many years of p***c advocacy. I am still passionate about reducing stigma, and raising awareness of mental ill-health. Though I now have a new area that I talk about. I was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD in 2019. This has been life changing for me, and I've discovered a great deal about my brain, how it works, and how best I can support it, to live a meaningful life. My role as a public speaker across Australia is to inspire and motivate people into action. Through this role I also encourage and educate people about the importance of self-literacy. My talks stem from personal experience, and are based on the latest research in mental illness, su***de prevention, early intervention and prevention, and now in ASD and ADHD.

Monotropism can hold joy, overwhelm, rumination, and shame - especially in invalidating systems.

I’ve just published Part 4 of the monotropism series: on rumination, shame‑loops, belonging, and why intersectionality isn’t optional when we talk about autistic mental health on Substack.

It’s the first piece that puts the Belonging Model and monotropic attention side by side. I’d love to hear from you if it makes sense to you, or if it misses something important in your experience.

I think this is my favourite piece from my recent 4 article series on monotropism. I wrote it based on my lived experience, and also my observations many beautiful autistic brains I've had/continue to have the privelege to walk beside.

Would love to hear from anyone who might relate.

My heart! A delightful colourful box arrived yesterday. I put it near my desk, deciding to enjoy opening it when I knocked off. So much care, time and thought clearly has gone in to this little gift. A tote bag with a quote I actually said on AuDHD IRL podcast with Brianna Thomas ! I'm such a ning nong sometimes, I didn't even notice! The heart felt care that Bri has put into her poddy guest gifts is a spot on reflection of how she curates her podcasts. Straight from the heart, warmly welcoming other hearts to speak openly, so many can feel this same warmth while listening. Snail mail, slowgress, heart. Very touched.
